Diddy broke his social media silence on Tuesday (Oct. 15) when he returned to Instagram to wish his daughter Love Sean Combs a happy birthday.

Love Combs turned 2 on Tuesday, and Diddy’s account posted a slideshow of photos for the occasion, including from a photo shoot eating cake and hanging with her dad in the ocean.

“Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday, baby Love! Happy Birthday to you!! Happy Birthday, @loveseancombs daddy loves you,” he captioned the post.

Comments under the Instagram post are turned off, and it’s still unclear how the post went up with Diddy currently behind bars.

Billboard has reached out to Diddy’s reps for comment.

Diddy and Dana Tran welcomed Love Combs in October 2022 — the youngest of his seven children. He also wished their daughter a happy 1st birthday last year on social media. “Happy Birthday, Baby Love! @loveseancombs I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART! Love DaDa,” he wrote to Instagram, per Vibe.

Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested in New York on Sept. 16 on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges. Diddy pleaded not guilty and his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has maintained his client’s innocence.

Last week, Diddy’s legal team made a court filing demanding an investigation into whether the federal authorities leaked evidence of the case to the media, including the surveillance video of Combs physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie inside a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

The embattled Bad Boy mogul has repeatedly been denied bond and will remain behind bars until his trial begins in May 2025.
