Sean Diddy Combs returns to Instagram amid sex trafficking lawsuit to celebrate daughter’s birthday

Sean “Diddy” Combs made a return to Instagram to celebrate his eldest daughter, Chance Combs, on her birthday.

“My babygirl turned 18 today,” he captioned the Instagram post.

“I’m so proud of you Chance. I love you. @myfancychance 🖤🙏🏿💫⚡️✨.”

The "Act Bad" rapper, 54, posted a photo of his teenage daughter, whom he shares with Sarah Chapman, on the beach in a crochet dress. He also included a throwback picture of him and Chance napping together.

The future NYU Tisch School of the Arts student thanked her father for the sweet birthday message in the comments, writing, “thank youu❤️💕 i love you.”

Sean’s post to his daughter comes a month after he deleted his Instagram, including the video where he apologized for abusing his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.

Last November, the "Me & U" singer, 37, filed a lawsuit against the father of seven, whom she dated on and off for 10 years, accusing him of rape and physical abuse.

The lawsuit was settled the next day.

In May, CNN released video footage of one of the physical altercations Ventura described in her lawsuit.

The hotel surveillance video from March 2016 showed Sean punching and kicking the singer as she tried to escape in an elevator.

The Bad Boy Records founder apologized on Instagram for his actions in the video, calling his behavior "inexcusable" and expressing his disgust with himself.

In March, Homeland Security raided Sean’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

The Grammy winner is currently facing seven additional lawsuits, accusing him of various sexual misconduct and other illegal activities.

He has denied all allegations.
