The disgraced rapper was taken into custody in September on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He is currently behind bars at a facility in Brooklyn after he was denied bail twice.

Combs took a video call today with his son Justin Dior Combs, 30, in which he told all of his children that he is ‘looking forward to seeing them soon’.

He also spoke to his daughter Love, two, whom he shares with Dana Tran, plus D’Lila and Jessie, 17, Justin, Quincy, 33, and Christian, 27.

In the clip, his children sang Happy Birthday to him and presented a cake.

Diddy said: ‘I love y’all, I can’t wait to see y’all. I’m proud of y’all, especially the girls, all of y’all, but just for being strong, thank you for being strong.

‘Thank you for being by my side and supporting me.

‘I got the best family in the world.’

‘My birthday, I’m happy for you giving me this call, I’ll see you in a couple of days,’ he added.

‘I love you too, baby,’ he responded to Love’s declaration.
