Sean “Diddy” Combs’ youngest son, Christian Combs, is taking over the disgraced music mogul’s Instagram while the latter sits behind bars awaiting his sex trafficking trial.
“Right now, I’m taking over my pop’s Instagram,” the “Love You Better” rapper, 26, said in a video shared on his dad’s account Wednesday.
“We gon’ be posting videos, spreading good energy, and taking ya’ll down memory lane of all the positive things he did. So, stay tuned and watch this, let’s go!” he added.
The rapper concluded in his post, “We love you, pops, happy birthday.”
Christian then shared the music video for Sean’s 1997 hit “All About The Benjamins.”
“My Pops motivation to making music is always to make us dance and feel good HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS !!! 🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽,” he captioned the post.
The “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” rapper also shared the music video for his dad’s hits “Victory” and a throwback clip of the Bad Boy Records founder, who turned 55 in jail Monday, in the studio with the late Notorious B.I.G.
Fans had mixed reactions about Christian taking over his dad’s Instagram account, which still has over 19 million followers.
“How you think restarting this Instagram account is a good idea is beyond me. Poor judgment runs in Diddy family, I guess,” said one opposing user.

“Naaaaaaaa post the negative he did instead,” added another.
Other fans urged Christian to “stay positive” and keep supporting Sean through his mounting legal issues.
The Revolt co-founder was arrested on Sept. 16 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He is currently incarcerated in a Brooklyn, NY, detention center, awaiting his trial, which is slated to begin on May 5.
While Sean has been behind bars, he has had the support of his seven children: Quincy Combs, 33, Justin Combs, 30, Christian, Chance Combs, 18, twins Jessie and D’Lila, 17, and Love, 2.
Last month, the kids slammed the “absurdity” of sexual assault allegations against their father in a joint statement on Instagram and attended one of his court appearances.
Most recently, the Sean John clothing brand founder’s brood came together to speak to the Grammy winner on the phone for his birthday.
“I love y’all, I love y’all so much,” the embattled hip-hop mogul emotionally told his children when they called to sing him “Happy Birthday.”
“I can’t wait to see y’all. I just want to say that I’m proud of y’all, especially the girls. I mean, all y’all just for being strong,” he added.
Sean then thanked the kids for being by his side and supporting him.
“I got the best family in the world. [It’s] my birthday. I’m happy. Thank you,” he said.
