As Sean “Diddy” Combs waits to learn where he’ll spend his 50-month federal prison sentence, the rapper reportedly told his toddler daughter in a heartbreaking phone call that he wasn’t coming home as soon as either of them hoped.
The disgraced hip-hop mogul was speaking with Dana Tran — the mother of 2-year-old Love — from the Metropolitan Detention Center on Sunday, when Tran put their child on the phone, sources told TMZ.
When Love asked her father where he was and when she could see him, insiders said Diddy told her: “Daddy’s away for a little while.”
“I miss you and love you very much, Love,” Combs apparently said, fighting back tears.
The “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper announced the arrival of Love Sean Combs on Dec. 10, 2022, though she was born nearly two months earlier. She’ll turn 3 next Wednesday.
“I’m so blessed to welcome my baby girl Love Sean Combs to the world,” he tweeted at the time. “Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!”
Love, Diddy’s youngest of seven children, reportedly lives in Los Angeles with Tran, a cybersecurity professional, industrial specialist and model. Sources told TMZ that the last time Diddy saw Love outside of prison was in August of last year, roughly a month before he was arrested by the feds in Midtown Manhattan.

Following a high-profile trial that ended in early July, the 55-year-old rapper was sentenced to just over four years in prison — with credit for time served — after a jury convicted him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He evaded a potential life sentence when he was acquitted on the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
Combs is currently still at Brooklyn’s MDC, where he’s been held since his arrest, pending the Bureau of Prisons’ decision on where he should serve his bid.
His lawyers filed a request on Monday for him to do his time at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Hanover Township, N.J., known for its drug rehabilitation and educational programs.
