King Combs, the son of rapper Diddy, has been injured in a car accident in Beverly Hills.

The 22-year-old, who is also a rapper, revealed on Instagram that his vehicle was hit by a drunk driver.

“IM GOOD !!!” he wrote. “Thank you GOD, thank you to everybody who reached out! Last night was crazy seen my life flash before my eyes !! I was hit by a drunk driver ! Everybody out there do not DRINK AND DRIVE Thank GOD I walked out ALIVE, now back in the stu!!”

Rapper Tyga was among those to wish Combs well in the comments, leaving three prayer-hand emojis in the comments section.

According to TMZ, Combs – whose real first name is Christian – was treated at the scene but did not need to be taken to a hospital for his injuries.

In the Instagram picture, he can be seen with a plaster on his face.

The site claims that a Tesla was speeding down Sunset Boulevard before it collided with Combs’s Ferrari.

Combs is the son of Diddy aka Sean Combs and Kim Porter, who died suddenly from pneumonia in 2018.
