Things are business as usual for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ 33-year-old adopted son Quincy Brown, who recently shared a teaser for his upcoming family vlog featuring the disgraced music mogul appearing in home footage from a group vacation.
In a snippet shared via The Shade Room’s Instagram on Tuesday, Diddy stands shirtless in a kitchen among his children gathered around an island with buffet pans of food. As the Bad Boy Records founder gestures to the camera and smiles, Brown shouts, “Combs family vacation!”

At the beginning of the teaser, Brown tells followers: “My life is just like yours — well, kind of.”

It then cuts to various shots of him and his siblings — 30-year-old Justin, 26-year-old Christian, 18-year-old Chance and 17-year-old twins D’Lila and Jessie — hanging out, swimming and hiking. According to Brown’s YouTube channel, the project titled “It’s Just a Vlog: Or Is It a Reality Show?” will premiere Wednesday evening (Oct. 23).

The vlog was clearly filmed some time ago, as Diddy has been in custody since his Sept. 16 arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. As his attorneys prepare their defense ahead of his May trial date, new lawsuits continue to pile up; most recently, six additional civil cases were filed Oct. 20 against the rapper alleging he drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl in 2000, did the same to a musical artist in 2022, forced a personal trainer to perform sexual acts in 2022 and more.

The hip-hop titan’s legal team, however, has continuously denied all accusations of sexual misconduct. “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman,” they said in a recent statement.

In the midst of Combs’ legal troubles, his children have stood by him. On Oct. 22, the mogul’s adult kids — including Brown — cosigned a joint statement defending their father’s name, writing, “We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD.”

Brown’s biological parents are model-actress Kim Porter and musician Al B. Sure!. After Diddy started seeing Porter in the ’90s, he legally adopted Brown. The couple went on to welcome Christian, Jessie and D’Lila before going their separate ways in 2007 after years of on-again, off-again dating.

In 2018, Porter died at age 47 from lobar pneumonia. Her death recently became a topic of discussion again in light of the Diddy allegations, leading Brown and his siblings to shut down rumors about their mother’s cause of death — in addition to debunking a “fake” and “offensive” memoir allegedly written by Porter — in September.

“We have seen so many hurtful and false rumors circulating about our parents, Kim Porter and Sean Combs’ relationship, as well as about our mom’s tragic passing, that we feel the need to speak out,” they said in a statement at the time. “Claims that our mom wrote a book are simply untrue. She did not, and anyone claiming to have a manuscript is misrepresenting themselves.”

Liam Payne‘s girlfriend, influencer Kate Cassidy, has spoken out for the second time following the 31-year-old musician’s death.
Sharing a carousel of romantic photos she took with Payne during their two-year relationship, Cassidy penned a heartfelt message to her late partner on Instagram Wednesday (Oct. 23) — exactly one week after the One Direction star died by falling from the third-story balcony of his hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “My heart is shattered in ways I can’t put into words,” she wrote. “I wish you could see the huge impact you’ve had on the world, even as it feels so dark right now.”

“You are — because I can’t say were — my best friend, the love of my life, and everyone you touched felt just as special as I did,” Cassidy continued. “None of this feels real, and I can’t wrap my head around this new reality of not having you here. I’m struggling to figure out how to live in a world without you by my side. Together, we got to be kids again, always finding joy in the smallest things.”

The internet personality — who often featured Payne in her TikTok videos — also shared a note her boyfriend had written a few weeks prior to his death, confessing his hopes to marry Cassidy within the next year. “It feels like I’ve lost the best part of myself,” she added in her tribute. “Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way we had planned. You’ll always be with me. I’ve gained a guardian angel. I will love you for the rest of my life and beyond, carrying our dreams and memories with me everywhere I go.”

According to a preliminary autopsy report, Payne appeared to be alone when he died, and suffered multiple traumas and hemorrhages upon impact. The initial toxicology test also indicated that he had drugs in his system at the time of the fall.

Cassidy had previously been with Payne in Argentina, where the couple attended Niall Horan’s concert together. A few days prior to the “Strip That Down” singer’s death, she’d posted on TikTok that she was leaving the country solo.

In the days since Payne died, countless fans and people close to the X Factor alum have also shared messages of grief online — including his former bandmates Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson. Cassidy herself first posted about the tragedy on Oct. 18, asking fans to give her “the grace and space to navigate this in private.”

“Liam, my angel. You are everything,” she’d added at the time. “I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely.”

Justin Bieber is empathizing with grieving fans following the death of Liam Payne.
Five days after the former One Direction star died at 31 years old after falling from the third story of his hotel in Buenos Aires, the “Sorry” singer reposted an emotional reel of videos taken at fan memorials for Payne all around the world via his Instagram Story on Monday (Oct. 21). “Just remember, you are allowed to grieve as a fan,” a voice-over on the video states.

“You are allowed to love someone you never met,” it continues. “You are allowed to admire someone for their art. You are allowed to cry, to pray, to feel like a part of you is gone. Even if they never knew your name, they changed your world.”

Over the video, the “Baby” artist added a simple heartbreak emoji.

As seen in the video shared by Bieber, fans have been gathering in London, Glasgow, Paris, Sydney, New York City and more locations to sing and cry together while mourning Payne with flowers, photos and candles. The musician died Oct. 16 and is survived by a 7-year-old son, Bear.

Payne is believed to have been alone when he died, according to a recent preliminary autopsy report. Moments before he fell to his death, a hotel manager called 911 to report that a guest was “overwhelmed with drugs and alcohol” and “destroying [their] entire room”; by the time police arrived in response, the “Strip That Down” artist had already fallen and suffered multiple fatal hemorrhages.

The initial autopsy also concluded that Payne likely had drugs in his system when he died, which new toxicology test results confirm. Among those substances was a recreational drug called “pink cocaine” — a mix of substances that often contains ketamine combined with MDMA, methamphetamine, cocaine, opioids and/or psychoactive substances — and authorities are currently investigating who provided Payne with the drugs.

Bieber is just the latest star to post in the aftermath of Payne’s death, with the late singer’s sisters, girlfriend and former One Direction bandmates all posting statements over the past few days. In 2022, Payne opened up about a time he met up with Bieber in a trailer to defuse perceived tensions between 1D and two-time Grammy winner, telling Logan Paul: “I was like, ‘Dude, I’ve always felt for you … I’ve done all the things you’ve done and I’ve never been caught for any of them.’”

Payne also said at the time that he’d told Bieber that they both “suffer from the same disease,” but that he’d at least had bandmates to lean on in hard times. “‘And I know in your camp you’re you and there’s no one like you, so you can’t turn around and have that shoulder,’” Payne recalled telling Bieber. “And he was like, ‘Bro, that’s giving me chills.’”
