The only woman standing by him! As under-fire Sean 'Diddy' Combs is staunchly supported by loyal mother Janice amid federal sex trafficking probe... a look at the former model's life and relationship with her son


If there's one person a son can always rely on for support through the good times and the bad, through the thick and the thin, from troubled waters to still, it is their mother.

Born on 22 December 1940 and raised in New York City, Janice worked a variety of jobs to make ends meet after husband Melvin Earl Combs, Diddy's father, was shot dead at the age of 33 in January 1972. Several lawsuits have brought public scrutiny to the music and business mogul, beginning with a November suit from his former protege and girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie, which alleged years of sexual abuse, including rape. Cassie and multiple other women who have sued him for sexual assault in recent months are reportedly cooperating with federal investigators as an alleged sex trafficking probe involving the hip hop mogul heats up.
