Apart from his musical and entrepreneurial talents, the 53-year-old boasts of another — being a doting father. It is common knowledge that he already boasts six children, one of whom is adopted. Per The Blast, he welcomed his sixth biological child in a message via Twitter. 

He notified the public in December that he had welcomed a girl child while refusing to reveal the mother's identity. The "I Need a Girl" hitmaker kept the message short and straight to the point, writing:

"I'm so blessed to welcome my baby girl Love Sean Combs to the world. Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D'Lila, Jessie and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!"
