Everything in Diddy’s life came crashing down after Cassie accused him of unspeakable things in 2023.
And according to the Daily Mail, the only woman who is standing by him is his Mom, Janice Combs.
Who Is Diddy’s Mom?
But ever since the lawsuit, people have been examining every part of Diddy’s life, and it’s been reported that he and Janice don’t have a typical mother-son relationship.
Janice has often been seen sporting a blonde wig, in blue contact lenses and clothes that some fashionistas might label as inappropriate for her age.
Since her son’s rise to fame, she’s often been seen with him as his date on red carpets.
According to the Daily Mail, he named two of his companies in honor of her, Janice Combs Music Publishing and Janice Combs Management.
And in 2020, he used his social media to let the world know that he’d bought her a Bentley car for her 80th birthday, and gifted her a check for $1 million dollars.
In his birthday message to Janice on Instagram, he wrote that he loved her so so so much, and every day was her day.
Diddy’s Bizarre Behavior Towards His Mother, Janice Combs
Some people have argued that those reasons alone show just how close Diddy is with his mom, but then something happened in 2022 that really raised a lot of eyebrows.
Marca reported that during an Instagram Live, Diddy and his mom displayed some pretty bizarre behavior.
Diddy talked about how attractive his mom looked while she was sitting next to him, and he mentioned how she was single and how he’d sometimes take her to exotic dance clubs.
When Diddy asked Janice how she was doing, she said she was happy to be with him and then pouted her lips and made a kissy sound.
And what Diddy did next, shocked viewers.
He took his mom’s gesture as an invitation to lean over and kiss her. But he didn’t plant one on her cheek, he went straight for her lips.
Online Users Speak Out About Diddy Kissing His Mom On The Lips
Online users couldn’t believe their eyes.
One Youtuber commented that they loved their adult black son, but they weren’t kissing on the mouth, and they didn’t stare at him like he was a snack.
Another person claimed that Janice had always been a weirdo to them, and that she probably tampered with Diddy early on.
A third commentator said that they wouldn’t be surprised if Janice did some stuff to him as a kid, which was why he acted the way that he did.
Did Diddy’s Mom Have A Dark Influence On Her Son?
With all the lawsuits and stomach-turning allegations against him, a lot of people are questioning how he ended up as someone who could even be capable of such horrors.
And looking at someone’s childhood is a good way to get an idea of how they turned out the way that they did.
Diddy supposedly did not have an easy upbringing. And it’s been rumored that Janice might’ve had a dark influence on her son.
A BBC article revealed that Diddy was born in a public housing project in Harlem, and brought up in Mount Vernon with his sister, Keisha.
His mom was forced to raise him and his sibling on her own because of her husband’s tragic ending.
Who is Diddy’s Dad?
Diddy’s dad Melvin Comb was allegedly a Harlem gangster who was involved with dealing illegal substances.
He was even connected to trafficker Frank Lucas, the man who inspired the movie American Gangster by Ridley Scott.
When Diddy was just 3 years old, his father violently lost his life after being misidentified as an informant.
In an interview with Revolt, he confessed that his father was a hustler and a dealer, and that he’d inherited his hustler’s mentality.
Diddy Attributes His Mom Janice For Hard Life Lessons
A report by Complex claimed that to take care of her kids as a single mother, Janice had to work super hard.
The Newsweek reported that in an interview with Oprah, Diddy shared that his mom worked three jobs to look after him and his sister.
He also told the TV show hostess that his mom taught him some hard lessons in life.
She reportedly told him: “if people smell weakness, they take advantage of you. You have to defend yourself.”
But that might not be the only lesson he got from her as a young boy.
Was Janice Combs An Adult Worker?
According to a video posted by The Urbanoire, Diddy’s mother might have been responsible for some of the dark behavior patterns that he’s been accused of.
The video alleged that one of the extra jobs that Janice had to take on after losing her husband was as an adult worker.
And the crazy thing is that she allegedly would bring her clients to her home, where Diddy supposedly witnessed things that he never should’ve seen.
Diddy Was Molded ‘To Be The Demon He Is Today’
Some people in the online world have claimed that it was thanks to his mom that he turned out so dysfunctional.
One Youtube commentator alleged that his mom acted like his wife, she was one of those mothers who turned her son into her husband.
They claimed that Diddy never had a chance, he was molded “to be the demon he is today.”
Somebody else agreed that there were substitute husband vibes.
A third online user said that he was doomed from the start, he inherited the worst traits from both his mother and father.
And they said that he could have chosen a different path, but his family demons followed him.
Ma$e Throws Shade At Diddy
There’s another claim that Diddy is so close with his mom that he put almost everything he had in Janice’s name, as protective measure in case he ever got into serious trouble.
And someone who has called him out on that rumor is rapper Ma$e, who used to be under Diddy’s label, Bad Boy Records.
Vibe reported that in the past, Ma$e accused Diddy of owing him money, and of regaining his publishing from him.
But it was XXL Mag that reported on the Instagram tirade that Ma$e went on where he threw shade at his former boss.
He claimed: “Your mother got the receipts…Everything is in your mother’s name. That’s the one who got the receipts”
And the crazy thing is that there might even be some truth to that because ABC news wrote that when his legal team tried to get him bail after his recent arrest, they offered up $50 million dollars, as well as the equity on his mom’s home in Florida.
So, was Ma$e right?
Did Diddy Use His Mother To Protect His Assets?
Has he used his mother as a way to protect his assets? What else does she have in her name?
An online user commented about how Janice supposedly had his assets in her name, and claimed that he’d never marry a woman for love because he’d been intercepted by his own mother.
They went on to predict that if there were too many lawsuits, Diddy might have to make his mom loosen her grip on the assets that he had hidden with her.
And the person finished by suggesting that he and Janice might not be so close anymore if it ever came to that.
How Diddy’s Arrest Is Affecting His Mom’s Health
Clearly, the stress has been getting to Diddy’s 84-year-old mom.
TODAY released a report saying that in July 2024, Janice was admitted on July 10 after having chest pains.
The doctors claimed that stress could’ve been a factor.
The insider added that the stress of everything going on with her son had been a lot for her, and that she’d been standing by him.
Obviously, it’s only normal that she would be worried about her child ending up in prison.
But some social media users have questioned if she might be worried about her own freedom too, given that she might be deeply connected to her son’s alleged criminal life.
Diddy’s Arrest
A few months after her stint in hospital, Diddy was arrested in New York at his Manhattan hotel, per PEOPLE.
The rapper pleaded not guilty, and his lawyer claimed that he would fight the federal indictment with all his energy.
The attorney also claimed that his client was an imperfect person, but he was not a criminal.
ABC news recently reported that even now that he’s behind bars, Diddy is still getting hit with lawsuits.
Another woman brought a case against him alleging that both he and his head of security took advantage of her at his New York recording studio in 2001.
