Justin Combs, son of rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, has managed to avoid jail time after his recent arrest and DUI charges. Rather than a jail term, the judge imposed a three-month probation period along with other specified conditions.
‘No Contest’
At his court hearing on October 9, Justin Combs had one of the DUI charges against him dropped. Additionally, he pleaded “no contest” to the BAC charge. As a result, the judge sentenced him to three months of probation.
In order to fulfill the probation requirements, Combs is mandated to enroll and successfully complete a three-month licensed first-offender alcohol and drug education and counseling program.
The Incident
In June 2023, Justin Combs found himself in legal trouble near Beverly Hills when he was pulled over and arrested on two misdemeanor DUI charges. The arrest led to him being held at the L.A. County Jail with a bond set at $5,000.
The charges against him stemmed from his blood alcohol content being measured above the legal limit of 0.08%. As of now, neither Diddy, Justin Combs, nor their representatives have provided any official statements regarding the outcome of the case.

Without specifically addressing her son’s arrest, she slammed Diddy in a series of posts. In one Instagram story, she stated, “a fish rots from the head down,” seemingly implying that Diddy, as the head of the family, has failed to provide guidance and support to their son.
Misa further expressed her discontent, stating that she is no longer willing to protect anyone except her son. The rant continued in a series of eight posts, with Misa ultimately stating, “I should have kept my child with me!”
This public outpouring has prompted speculation about hidden secrets and internal dynamics within the family.

Because she ate in a seemingly Shakespearen way. Oooooooo the heat coming for Poppa Diddy Pop.”
