Despite being locked away on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, Sean “Diddy” Combs is still spending time with his family. TMZ reports that last week, his mother, Janice Combs, and 17-year-old twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie, paid the disgraced music mogul a visit. The tabloid says they all hugged but were under the watchful eye of prison staff. This is the first time his twins, whom he shared with the late Kim Porter, have seen their dad since his arrest last month. Following her visit, Janice compared her son’s arrest and the subsequent media frenzy to “a public lynching” in a statement released by her attorney. “Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court,” she added. D’Lila and Jessie have largely remained silent on their dad’s predicament, though they did issue a joint statement with brothers Quincy and Christian on Instagram denouncing rumors that their mother wrote a book before her death. They also say her death was not caused by “foul play.”Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all the charges raised against him.
