A resurfaced interview with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sees the rapper defending his decision to buy his son a $360,000 car for his 16th birthday – with the music mogul insisting he can give his kids ‘whatever he wants’
A 2010 interview with music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has resurfaced, sparking discussions about whether it’s excessive to splurge on children’s birthday gifts.
During the interview, Diddy justified his decision to gift his son Justin a mega-expensive $360,000 car for his sweet sixteenth, along with throwing him a $10,000 cash party, saying, “I think it’s appropriate to give my kids whatever I want to give my kids,” per his chat with Martin Bashir on Nightline.

In stark contrast to Combs’ luxurious gifting, the government calculates the cost of raising a child in a middle-class family up until 17 is approximately $369,000.
Taking pride in his role as a dad, Combs did not hide his irritation when asked about his high-ticket parental choices.
Besides the reinvigorated interest in his interview, Combs has found himself embroiled in a legal battle after being arrested in New York last month and indicted on a litany of charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for the purposes of prostitution. He has vehemently denied all allegations against him and pleaded not guilty in court.
It was confirmed on Thursday that his trial is set for May 5, 2025, following being refused bail by court on multiple occasions.
He is currently being housed in Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, recently opened up about Diddy’s life behind bars, revealing what the he’s struggling with the most, aside from being away from his children.
Agnifilo remarked: “I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it.”
An E! News-acquired Federal Bureau of Prisons handbook reported that the facility provides “regular, heart healthy and no-flesh dietary options” and inmates being housed in the prison can also buy food from the commissary. The commissary’s offerings include items like tuna in chili sauce, honey buns, cashews, instant grits, protein bars, and spam.
