Diddy is still behind bars awaiting trial on sex trafficking, kidnapping, and racketeering charges, but he did get a visit that should have lifted his spirits.

TMZ exclusively reports that Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, and his twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie,  stopped by the MDC in Brooklyn to visit the disgraced mogul.

According to the celebrity gossip site, Diddy’s mom was so moved after seeing her son that she felt compelled to speak up for the rapper.
Per TMZ:
We’re told the four family members went to a visiting area, where they were able to hug and converse … under supervision by jail staff.
Our sources say this meeting was the first time D’Lila and Jessie were able to see their father since his arrest last month … and they were very eager to visit him, traveling all the way from their home in California.
We’re told the visit was incredibly emotional for everyone … and after seeing her son, Janice felt compelled to speak out on his behalf, because she felt like he was going through something he didn’t deserve.
Janice Combs Broke Her Silence
As we previously reported, Mrs. Combs put on her cape for her son, basically saying that her son is not the sexual predator the over 100 allegations claim he is, panting him as someone who made mistakes in his past but not guilty of everything he has been charged with.
“It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies,” she said in a statement The Hollywood Reporter shared. “To bear witness what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”
According to TMZ, Diddy has seen all his adult children and was happy they all stopped by to see him.
Local news affiliate ABC7NY reports that a date has finally been set for his trial: May 5, with another bail hearing in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
