Chance Combs graduated high school while her father, Sean "Diddy" Combs, was noticeably absent.
Chance Combs, daughter of music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, has graduated high school.
On Thursday, 17-year-old Chance walked across the stage at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles, California, to accept her diploma. While her billionaire father was absent, her siblings were there to support her.
Christian Combs, 25, the eldest of Diddy’s three children with the late model Kim Porter, captured the proud moment on Instagram. He posted a video of Chance walking across the stage to receive her diploma, accompanied by the caption, "congratulations," and tagged his sister to celebrate her achievement.
Chance’s younger twin sisters, Jessie James and D'Lila, also 17, were present at the ceremony. The twins, who have been making a name for themselves in the modeling industry, shared images of their sister in her cap and gown on social media, highlighting the special occasion.
Additionally, Diddy's youngest child, Love Sean Combs, 1, appeared in another social media post. In 2022, Diddy and model Dana Tran welcomed Love.
While Diddy’s absence was noted, Chance’s mother, Sarah Chapman, was in attendance. The proud parent took to Instagram, sharing her excitement with a post that read: "LET'S GOOOOO CHANCE!!"
Diddy did not appear to be at the graduation amid his legal woes. The 54-year-old mogul faces six civil lawsuits accusing him of a range of sexual misconduct and other illegal activity -- and more recently made headlines after CNN published a video showing him physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, in 2016.
Cassie's lawsuit in November set Diddy' subsequent legal troubles in motion.
Combs has since broken his silence in the wake of the video of him assaulting Cassie and said he takes "full responsibility" for his actions.
The 37-year-old singer also spoke out after the video was shared, writing in an Instagram post that seeing the "outpouring of love" has allowed her "younger self to settle and feel safe."
She went on to say that the response is "only the beginning," noting that domestic violence "broke me down to someone I never thought I would become."
"It takes a lot of heart to tell the truth out of a situation that you were powerless in," she wrote. "I offer my hand to those [who] are still living in fear. Reach out to your people, don't cut them off. No one should carry this weight alone."
Calling her "healing journey never ending," Cassie said that the support she has received "means everything to me."
The rap mogul is not only embroiled in multiple lawsuits, but he's also at the center of a federal investigation that appears to be tied to sex trafficking allegations. Diddy's attorney denied the claims against the artist while decrying law enforcement's tactics following a raid at the rapper's homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
In a statement to ET, HSI would only say that the raids were "part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners."
At this point, it's unclear if any of the litany of sexual assault lawsuits filed against Combs are tied to the raids. But a source previously told Rolling Stone that four Jane Does and one John Doe had already sat for interviews with investigators for a probe related to an alleged sex trafficking and RICO case, and additional interviews have also been scheduled.
