The new tribute video isn't the first time the rapper's family has attempted to show their father in a different light.

During his sentencing, several of his children addressed the court through tears, pleading with the judge to give their father a chance to redeem himself.

His son, Justin, also called the rapper "my superhero" and explained that his father had been challenged behind bars in ways he's never seen before, calling it something he'll "never forget."

"Your honor, I believe my father still has so much more to give the world and, more importantly, so much more to give his children," he added.

Diddy's other son, Quincy, echoed a similar sentiment and declared that his father had learned a "major lesson" while incarcerated. "Week after week, we’ve seen him evolve, something we haven’t seen in 15 years. He’s completely transformed," he said.

Quincy also assured the court that his father would "never do anything to jeopardize his freedom" again, adding that it's their family's hope and wish "to heal together."

Prior to his sentencing, Diddy wrote a 4-page letter to the judge, acknowledging his wrongdoing and apologizing for his behavior.

The rapper called his incarceration and federal trial "the hardest two years of my life," adding that he's the only one to blame for his current situation.

Diddy assured the judge that he was no longer "running" from his mistakes but was instead owning them. He went on to say that his "downfall" was caused by his "selfishness" before addressing his abusive relationship with his ex-girlfriend of nearly 10 years, Cassie Ventura.

"I lost my way," Diddy wrote in the letter to the judge. "I got lost in my journey. Lost in the drugs and the excess. ... I have been humbled and broken to my core."

He added, "The old me died in jail, and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you—I choose to live."
