Diddy is missing some important milestones for his kids as his legal troubles escalate — including his 17-year-old daughter Chance’s graduation from Sierra Canyon School in the L.A. area this Thursday. Sources tell TMZ that while other family members are flying in for the ceremony, Diddy will not be present.
Diddy has informed his family of his absence without providing a specific reason. However, the family suspects it is due to his ongoing legal issues and his preference to avoid creating a spectacle that could overshadow Chance’s special day.
Some of Chance’s half-siblings and members of Kim Porter’s family are expected to attend the graduation. Diddy shares Chance with Sarah Chapman. Additionally, Diddy’s twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, who are juniors, recently went to prom without him, as he remains in Miami.
Despite his legal troubles, Diddy has been an involved parent over the years, especially with his daughters. Notably, he was with them during the federal raids in March when authorities intercepted his private jet in Florida while preparing for a Spring Break trip. Since then, he has stayed at or near his Miami home. Sources confirm that federal authorities have not restricted his travel.
The fact that Diddy is missing significant events for his children is entirely his decision, not mandated by law enforcement. Diddy might be on the verge of an indictment, and he seems to be trying to keep his kids out of the drama. For now, his daughters will have the support of other family members, with Diddy possibly connecting via Zoom or FaceTime.
