Diddy's children break silence on rumors about late mother Kim Porter amid his arrest
Diddy's children have spoken out following their father's arrest on sex trafficking charges.
Three of the rapper's children released a joint statement on Instagram on Tuesday night.
The message was signed by Diddy's children with his late partner Kim Porter: Christian, 26, Jessie, and D'Lila, both 17, along with her eldest son Quincy, 33, whom the rapper adopted.

Porter, an American model, passed away at the age of 47 from lobar pneumonia after several days of 'flu-like symptoms' in November 2018.
The statement from her children read: “WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY HURTFUL AND FALSE RUMORS CIRCULATING ABOUT OUR PARENTS. KIM PORTER AND SEAN COMBS' RELATIONSHIP. AS WELL AS ABOUT OUR MOM'S TRAGIC PASSING. THAT WE FEEL THE NEED TO SPEAK OUT.”
Porter and Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, had an on-and-off relationship from 1994 to 2007.
There is a new book which is alleged to be Porter's memoir and includes claims of Diddy assaulting his late girlfriend, taping himself having sex with a male teenage popstar, and sex parties with an Oscar winner and his wife.
The 60-page book, Kim's Lost Words, published on September 6, is said to be a collection of diaries from Porter, the mother of three of Diddy's children who passed away from pneumonia in 2018, and was reportedly leaked by her friends.
Since her death, numerous conspiracy theories have emerged about the circumstances of her passing, and these have intensified following Diddy's indictment for racketeering and sex trafficking.
The four children concluded their strongly-worded statement by asking for their mother to be respected in her death.
Along with the four children he had with Porter, Combs also has three children with three other women: son Justin, 30, and daughters Chance, 18, and Love, 23 months.
It was recently reported by People that Combs, currently awaiting trial at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City, has been able to briefly communicate with family members and his children via phone.
