Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Returns To Instagram To Celebrate Daughter’s 18th Birthday Amid Legal Woes And Sex Crime Charges

“Today is my baby girl’s 18th birthday,” the music tycoon posted, accompanied by a photo of her smiling on the beach and an old picture of them together when she was a toddler napping in his arms. “I’m so proud of you, Chance. I love you deeply.”

Combs wiped his Instagram in June, a month after his video abusing ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura went viral

In May, a 2016 security footage showing Diddy physically altercating with Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel lobby was made public. This incident led the Notorious B.I.G. artist to remove all content from his social media platforms.

An deleted video of Diddy from his account showed him voicing his revulsion over an earlier incident where he physically harmed Ventura. In the clip, he acknowledged that he had reached a low point when he committed this act against a woman, but this does not justify resorting to violence. “I own up to what I did in that video,” he stated. “I was ashamed then, and I’m ashamed now.”

According to a reliable source, Combs’ decision to delete his Instagram posts had nothing to do with the viral domestic violence video that circulated at the time. In fact, the source added that the singer had deleted his social media content on several occasions prior to this incident.

In 2023, Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Sean Combs, accusing him of physically and sexually abusing and raping her for more than a decade. Combs’ legal team dismissed these accusations as distasteful and unfounded. Eventually, the two parties reached an agreement outside of court to resolve the matter.

Ventura spoke out for the first time in May, thanking people for their overwhelming support

After the release of the 2016 video, Ventura, who is 37 years old, expressed on Instagram that her healing process continues, but the heartfelt encouragement she has received from friends, family, and even strangers during difficult moments is deeply appreciated by her.

Additionally, she appealed to individuals to trust victims’ accounts initially rather than demanding evidence. According to her, sharing the truth in powerless situations requires courage. It’s important to note that Ventura faced significant criticism following her lawsuit against Combs, which ultimately resulted in a settlement.
