Diddy’s daughters are in Los Angeles, while his sons, Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, and Christian, 26, are in New York for their father’s legal proceedings.
Lala has served as a caregiver for Porter’s daughters in recent years, TMZ reports. However, she is not their legal guardian.
Porter had a tumultuous romance with Diddy between 1994 and 2007, welcoming three children to him: Christian and twins Jesse and D’Lila. She died in 2018 at the age of 47 from lobar pneumonia.
D’Lila and Jessie are both in school in Los Angeles and Lala manages their schedules.
She sheltered and shielded the girls from outside noise as best she could. Lala also acts as a mother figure to the teens.
Appears on the popular DailyMail.com podcast The trial against Diddysays prison expert Larry Levine that Diddy is visited every day by a psychological team.
“He’s not actually on suicide watch, but my inside source there tells me that someone comes by several times a day to visit him, you know, just to make sure he’s okay,” Levine noted in the podcast.
‘My sources tell me that [Diddy] gets extra showers a week,” he claimed. ‘I don’t know how much. It probably varies. They give them extra privileges.’

Meanwhile, Combs’ lawyers are still trying to get him out of jail and have filed an appeal with the 2nd US Circuit Court after two judges denied his bail. The case will be discussed during the hearing on November 4.
Last week, Diddy’s seven children shared a joint statement Tuesday morning supporting him ahead of his federal sex trafficking trial on May 5.
“The past month has devastated our family,” they wrote on Instagram.
“Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories and false stories that have grown into absurdity on social media. We stand united and support you every step of the way. We hold fast to the truth, knowing that it will prevail, and that nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU DAD.”
The family statement came two days after Buzbee Law Firm, AVA Law Group and Curis Law filed another seven lawsuits (four men and three women) in the US District Court in Manhattan against the three-time Grammy winner alleging aggravated sexual assault, sexual battery and sexual abuse. abuse and sexual exploitation between 2000 and 2022.

Lead attorney Tony Buzbee has collected enough evidence to file 120 lawsuits for victims (as young as nine and thirteen) thanks to a hotline he set up for victims and witnesses, collecting twelve thousand calls in 24 hours.
Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo dismissed the latest lawsuits as “clear attempts to garner publicity” and they “have full confidence in the facts, their legal defense and the integrity of the legal process.”
The Emmy-nominated producer — who was arrested in Manhattan on September 16 following a grand jury indictment — “has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, male or female,” they added.
Diddy has denied guilty pleas that he coerced and abused women for years, aided by colleagues and employees, and silenced victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical abuse.
