King Combs is holding tightly to optimism that his father, Sean “ Diddy ” Combs, will be released from federal prison custody in time to spend the holidays with his family.

“He’s [gonna be] on the way home,” he told reporters, suggesting that the music mogul’s legal situation could take a positive turn in the near future.
