Two days after appearing in court to support his embattled father, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Christian “King” Combs was spotted living it up with his girlfriend, Raven Tracy.
The 26-year-old rapper was partying and getting cozy with Tracy on Saturday night, as captured in a video shared on the Instagram account LiveBitez. The footage shows the couple dancing and kissing at a club, with Christian even pouring a shot of what appears to be liquor into Tracy’s mouth.
Christian, one of Diddy’s seven children, had been in a Manhattan federal court just two days prior, attending his father’s hearing on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Despite the heavy legal cloud hanging over the Combs family, Christian was determined to blow off some steam with his girlfriend.
“King called his lady love ‘baddest girl in the world’ as he blew off steam amid a difficult time for his family,” the LiveBitez caption read.
Christian’s night of fun came after he and five of his siblings – Quincy Brown, Justin Combs, Chance Combs, and twins Jessie and D’Lila Combs – supported their father during his court appearance on Thursday. Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, was also present.
The 54-year-old music mogul, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, was denied bail for a third time and will remain behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial, which is now set for May 5, 2025.
According to reports, as Diddy was led into the courtroom in tan jail clothes, he smiled and waved to his son Christian before embracing his attorneys.
The scene must have been a difficult one for the Combs family to endure, with their patriarch facing the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence if convicted. But Christian appeared determined to find moments of levity amidst the legal turmoil.
In the Instagram video, the “Love You Better” rapper dances and celebrates with his girlfriend, model, and actress Raven Tracy. The pair looks cozy as they kiss, and Christian declares that Tracy is “the baddest girl in the world.”
The party followed Tracy’s speaking engagement at the 2024 ESSENCE Girls United Disruptor Summit in Atlanta, where Christian was on hand to support her.
Christian’s carefree evening comes as a stark contrast to the weighty issues his family is grappling with. Diddy was arrested on September 16 and charged with using his “power and prestige” as a music star to coerce female victims into “drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances” with male sex workers at events dubbed “Freak Offs.”
Federal prosecutors have painted a disturbing picture of Diddy’s alleged crimes, claiming he and his associates silenced victims through blackmail, kidnapping, arson, and physical beatings.
The disgraced hip-hop mogul’s continued incarceration has undoubtedly taken a toll on his large and close-knit family. But for Christian, at least for one night, it seems he was determined to find a moment of joy and celebration amidst the turmoil.
Whether this carefree attitude will continue as Diddy’s legal troubles progress remains to be seen. Christian appears focused on supporting his father while also carving out time to enjoy his burgeoning career and personal life.
As the Combs family navigates this problematic chapter, they’ll no doubt continue to lean on each other for strength and solidarity. And if Christian’s recent night out is any indication, they’re also finding ways to find pockets of happiness wherever they can.
