Sean “Diddy” Combs briefly returned to Instagram to wish his daughter a happy birthday, despite her currently being in jail.

The rapper, who was arrested last month on charges of sex trafficking, extortion and transporting individuals for prostitution, has denied all allegations.

The 54-year-old is being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after multiple charges of sexual assault and rape.

Six more lawsuits were filed this week, with Texas attorney Tony Buzbee claiming he represented about 120 alleged victims.

In the lawsuits, the music mogul is accused of raping women, sexually assaulting men and molesting a 16-year-old boy.

Last night, a new post appeared on his social media page, celebrating daughter Love’s second birthday.

Alongside a series of photos showing Combs with his youngest child, he wrote: “Happy Birthday! Congratulations! Happy birthday sweetie! Congratulations!!

Combs announced the arrival of his seventh child in December 2022, welcoming Love with Dana Tran.

At least six lawsuits were filed against the hip-hop mogul in federal court in Manhattan on Monday.

They were submitted anonymously, two identified by women as Jane Does and four identified by men as John Does.

Prosecutors are part of a group of more than 100 alleged victims taking legal action against Combs following his arrest for sex trafficking last month, according to their attorneys.

One of the John Does, a man living in North Carolina, claims that Combs fondled his genitals when he was 16 at one of the rapper’s famous white parties in the Hamptons on Long Island in 1998.

The man claims that during a conversation about possibly breaking into the music industry, Combs abruptly ordered the then-teenager to drop his pants so Combs could inspect his penis.

According to the man’s lawsuit, Combs explained to him that becoming a music star was a rite of passage, at one point asking the then-teenager, “Don’t you want to break into the business?”

The man said he complied out of fear, anxiety and a power imbalance he felt with Combs, but later realized what had happened was sexual abuse.

The other lawsuits include allegations of rape, forced oral sex and drugging to incapacitate victims.

In a statement, Combs’ attorneys said the rapper and his legal team “have full confidence in the facts, their legal defense and the integrity of the judicial process.”

The statement continues: “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone – adult or minor, male or female.”

When the scheduled trials were announced on Oct. 1, an attorney said Combs “cannot address every baseless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.”

Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, alleging that he coerced and abused women for years with the help of a network of associates and associates while silencing victims through blackmail and violence , including kidnapping, arson and physical abuse.

Combs’ lawyers have tried unsuccessfully to get the Bad Boy Records founder released on bail. He has been held in a federal prison in Brooklyn since his arrest on September 16.

Two judges have concluded that Combs would be a danger to the community if released from the Metropolitan Detention Center, a facility that has been plagued by violence and dysfunction for years.

At a bail hearing three weeks ago, a judge rejected a $50 million bail package that included home detention and electronic monitoring after concluding that Combs posed a threat to tamper with witnesses and obstruct an ongoing investigation.

On Friday, an appeals court judge denied Combs’ immediate release from jail while a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals weighs his bail request.
