Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was arrested for sex trafficking, is said to have communicated with his children in incarcerated.
The troubled rapper, 54, has talked “briefly to family members and his children via phone,” People said on Monday, citing a person with knowledge of the matter.
The source went on to say that the father of seven is “extremely concerned” about the “well-being” of his children.
“He has three minor children, two of whom do not currently have a living parent available to them while he is incarcerated,” the person continued. With him confined, neither parent is available for four of his seven children.

Combs’ children are allegedly “in a state of crisis and shock” in response to the allegations, according to a second person with close family ties.
The insider told the magazine, “Seeing the kids in the state they’re in is heartbreaking.” Their father is this. But he’s just Dad to them, not Diddy. He is and has always been a dedicated, caring parent.
Combs and his late wife Kim Porter, who passed away in 2018 at the age of 47, had a son named Christian, 26, and twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, 17.

Quincy, Porter’s 33-year-old kid, whom the model shared with Al B., was also adopted by Combs. Yes, indeed.
The music mogul is also the father of two children: Chance, age 18, and Justin, age 30, who he shares with stylist Misa Hylton.
In October 2022, he welcomed Love, his youngest daughter, with Dana Tran.
Combs “desperately” wanted to talk to his children while incarcerated at the City of New York Department of Corrections, according to a source last week.
At the time, TMZ said that his family was “turning to God for guidance and strength” and “leaning on each other for support.”
After being denied bail, the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer was allegedly put on suicide watch.

Three counts were brought against Combs after his arrest on September 16: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by coercion, deception, or force; and transportation for the purpose of engaging in prostitution.
His plea to the charges was not guilty.
When Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a lawsuit in November 2023, accusing him of raping and physically abusing her over their ten-year relationship, it marked the beginning of Diddy’s fall from grace.
The lawsuit was resolved by the ex-couple the next day.
When a startling video of Combs assaulting Cassi in a hotel in 2016 appeared in May 2024, it garnered media attention once more.
The singer had accused the record producer of sexual molestation, but he had to back down after the video went viral and he was called out for his “inexcusable” behavior.
Combs has denied any misconduct and is the target of at least eight different lawsuits.
