Combs Began His Music Career After Graduating High School

He began mixing rap and R&B styles to create his own music, much like his famous dad shortly after finishing high school. In 2019, he released his EP "Cyncerely, C3." He's also appeared in many television shows including "Wild 'N Out" and "Making the Band."

Combs single, "Can't Stop Won't Stop" with Kodak Black, is currently climbing the charts. "It's definitely a dream coming true for me, and it's a great feeling to have the fans and people out there gravitate to a song that I made in the studio," Combs said.

He also discussed what it was like hearing one of his songs on the radio for the first time. "I was in the car in New York. I was riding around with my friends. It was like right when I started doing music and 'Paid In Full' came on," he said. "I remember I just jumped out of the car and I started dancing instantly. There's no feeling like that. That's like one of the best feelings."
