A video of King Combs, son of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, sparked controversy when he was seen responding with “GDK” after a woman touched his face. “GDK” is associated with “Gangster Disciples Killer,” a term linked to the Chicago-based Gangster Disciples gang. Following online speculation about King Combs’ alleged gang affiliation, he took to his Instagram Story to clarify, stating, “I ain’t affiliated with no gangs & I’m not a gang member.”
The incident occurred amid legal troubles faced by Diddy, who is dealing with multiple rape accusations from several women, including a lawsuit filed by singer Cassie last month. The controversy raised questions about King Combs’ association with gang activities.
In response to the GDK claims, Chicago-based rapper King Yella criticized Combs in a viral Instagram video. Yella expressed shock, questioning why Combs would involve himself in GDK-related matters, especially considering the serious legal allegations against his father. Yella warned Combs about potential repercussions and advised against pursuing drill music, citing his privileged upbringing.

According to DrillWiki, throwing down rakes, such as GDK, is a way to show opposition to the Gangster Disciples. Yella cautioned Combs not to attract trouble from the GDs, emphasizing that he does not come from a street background and should avoid getting involved in gang-related issues.
King Combs, 25, is a rap artist signed to his father’s Bad Boy label. Some of his notable works include “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop,” “Love You Better,” and “Fatal Attraction.” Despite the clarification, online scrutiny and discussions about the GDK controversy continue.
As legal challenges surround Diddy, his son finds himself entangled in public discussions regarding his alleged gang affiliations, emphasizing the complexities of their family’s public image.
