Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs launched his career in 1997 with the debut single ‘Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down’ in 1997, achieving incredible success over the years. Despite his accomplishments, he was recently arrested and charged with multiple felonies. Take a look back at photos of the rapper throughout his career.

Not only a respected rapper, Diddy is also an accomplished businessman: he founded the record label Bad Boy Records in 1993, which repped legendary talent like The Notorious B.I.G. and Danity Kane. He has also owned restaurants and designed clothes, just naming a few of his many ventures.

Diddy’s most famous relationships was with the singer Cassie, and actress Kim Porter. Before Kim sadly passed away from pneumonia in 2018, she welcomed three children with Diddy: Christian Combs and twins Jessie and D’Lila. He also adopted Quincy, Kim’s first child. Overall, Diddy has six children, who also include Justin Dior Combs and Chance Combs.

Diddy is one of music’s most famous rappers, and he’s a decent business man to boot. See photos of the star through the years and with his kids.
