Justin Combs

Background

Justin Dior Combs was born on December 30, 1993, in Mount Vernon, New York. His zodiac sign is Capricorn, and his ethnicity is Afro-Jamaican-Japanese-American. He is the son of Sean Love “Diddy” Combs and Misa Hylton, and he has six younger half-siblings named Christian, Chance, Jessie, D’Lila, Madison, and Niko. His father is a world-famous rapper and record executive. Combs attended Iona Preparatory Upper School in New Rochelle, where he graduated with a 3.75 G.P.A. During his time in high school, he made his T.V. debut by appearing on M.T.V.’s. “My Super Sweet Sixteen” in 2008.

After graduating high school, Combs got a scholarship in 2012 to attend the University of California, Los Angeles, to play football for the UCLA Bruins as a defensive quarterback, with Jim Mora as his coach. This sparked controversy as his multi-millionaire father would have been more than able to pay for his college tuition, but he was deemed worthy by the University, as he had already been a great player during high school. Combs appeared in seven games over two seasons and registered four tackles. During this time, he made an appearance at the BET Awards in 2015. In 2016, Combs graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology, becoming the first of his family to graduate from University. His father was very proud and posted a picture of his son’s graduation with the caption “Black Excellence Runs in the Family: On Thursday, June 9, Sean “P. Diddy.” Combs became the proud papa of a UCLA graduate.”

Combs started his acting career the same year he graduated, appearing in “Date With a Hammer.” In 2017, he was a contestant on “Hip Hop Squares,” where he competed against Sevyn Streeter. The following year, he appeared on “Wild ‘N Out” as a team captain and performer alongside his half-brother Christian and his step-brother Quincy. In 2019, Combs appeared on two episodes of “Catfish.” In 2020, he guested as a judge on “Making the Band” and appeared in the music video for ‘Don’t Waste My Time’ by Usher featuring Ella Mai. By 2021, Combs stars and serves as executive producer on REVOLT T.V.’s. “Respectfully Justin” alongside Justin Laboy, a show that turned the two Justins’ Instagram live conversations into a show with guest stars such as Saweetie.
