Christian "King" Combs seems unbothered by his father, Diddy's criminal case; at least, that's how a new video portrays him.
An entertainment account on Instagram recently shared a clip of the rapper's lookalike son partying the night away with his girlfriend, Raven Tracy, and other pals at a club.
Although it was unclear when the footage was taken, it was shared days after King appeared at his father's latest court hearing. Diddy is currently behind bars following his September arrest and indictment on three criminal charges.

The video shared by the entertainment outlet Live Bitez captured Christian cozying up to his lover at a club. He held a shot glass filled with liquor around Tracy's head while she flaunted her body and face card for the camera.
She eventually took a sip from the glass at Christian's urging before grabbing a female pal and squeezing their faces together close to the camera. The video continued with Diddy's son and Tracy having a great time with their friends, dancing and drinking without care.
"King Combs Declares He's Got the Baddest Girl in the World While Turning Up with Friends at the Club!" the caption read, receiving hundreds of fan comments. Many found Christian's behavior concerning, especially given the charges against his father.

While Christian seemed unbothered by his father's criminal indictment, some IG users called him out for not only bearing a striking resemblance to Diddy but also acting like him. A critic's comment read:
"It doesn't look that good for his daddy/ twin to be in jail for drugging women, and he is named in that lawsuit.... and he's feeding women drinks."
"I'm not saying he does it, but ..... As a lawyer, I would tell him to sit his silly azz down away from cameras so the public can think he was distraught about his daddy, so they can look less menacing and guilty," the individual added.
A second commenter penned: "He has to be delayed or slow in thought. feeding a woman drinks on IG live while your father is accused of being a drink-feeding predator?" A third echoed similar sentiments, writing:
"Who advised him that this is the time to be doing shit like this for the gram? Get ya head in the game, Christian. You in for a long ride my youth."
Federal Prosecutors Refute The Music Mogul's Racist Claim
At the latest hearing in Diddy's case, The Blast reported that federal prosecutors tore the rapper's racism claim apart. The allegation was brought by his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, who argued that the indictment was a "takedown of a successful Black man."
While Agnifilo made the claims publicly, federal prosecutors addressed them during the hearing. They argued that the allegations were "baseless" and not related to racism, as Diddy's lawyer claimed.
The Assistant United States Attorney also denied that the prosecution had leaked grand jury information to the press after Diddy's legal team attempted to receive a gag order from the judge. Despite slapping three criminal charges against the rapper, prosecutors noted more would come.
The Bad Boy Records Founder May Face Additional Charges
During his September arrest and indictment, Diddy was accused of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. These three counts were severe enough to warrant a life sentence, but his case could worsen.
According to prosecutors, a supplementary indictment could be filed if new charges arise from Diddy's relationship with at least one other sex worker. A grand jury was reviewing the alleged link between him and this witness.
However, Diddy's problems did not end there, as more charges could come from the investigation into his illicit affairs. Prosecutors revealed they had seized terabytes of electronic data during raids on the music mogul's home that had not been analyzed for information.
Diddy's Trial May Begin In May 2025
During the hearing, the judge noted that Diddy's criminal trial may officially start in May 2025 if all necessary procedures were completed on time. These crucial processes include handing over evidence in the case and interviewing potential jury members.
Diddy's legal team has reportedly filed a motion to expedite the handing over of evidence and would join prosecutors in choosing the jury members. Both parties could also file pre-trial motions to resolve any issue that might occur before the hearing.
