Sean "Diddy" Combs has more children than nicknames.

The rapper, songwriter and record executive shares seven children with four different women, though he has never been married.

Diddy himself was raised by his single mother after his father was murdered in 1974. He grew up and proved himself to be an exceptional student and leader at Howard University, where he majored in business administration, before dropping out to pursue a career at record label Uptown Records in the early 1990s.

Since then, Diddy, 52, has released six studio albums; founded his own record label, Bad Boy Records; helped launch the careers of Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey; and acted in dozens of films.

The hip-hop mogul has also gone by many nicknames throughout the years — including Puffy, P. Diddy, and Puff Daddy — and raised his six children. In 2022, Diddy was honored at the BET Awards with the Lifetime Achievement Award, meant to honor Black musicians who have significantly shaped the industry culture, become a leader in their field, and inspired generations of people.

Justin is Diddy's first child with stylist and fashion designer Misa Hylton. Justin, who was born in 1993, gained international popularity in 2008 when he was shown on MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen with his father.

Justin attended the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), where he earned a Bachelors degree in sociology while playing as a defensive back for the UCLA Bruins football team on a scholarship. In 2016, Justin graduated from UCLA and became the first member of the Combs family to graduate college.

Christian was born in 1994 shortly after Diddy started dating Porter and is the pair's first biological child together. Christian, a musical artist who now goes by the name King Combs, began his music career shortly after finishing high school. Inspired by his father, he began mixing rap and R&B styles to make his own music.

Chance was born in 2006 to Diddy and businesswoman Sarah Chapman, who had been a friend of Diddy's for years, although the pair never openly dated. The news of Chance's birth led to Porter declaring that Diddy betrayed her in their long-term on-and-off-again relationship and Diddy and Porter broke up.

Diddy and Chapman are still in communication, as they co-parent Chance, who is now 16. Diddy brought Chance as his date to the 2022 Oscars, where Chance shared in a red carpet interview with Laverne Cox that she is an aspiring actress, citing Zendaya as one of her biggest inspirations.
