Back in 2022, Combs revealed he was “a little nervous” to become a dad, but today, his family is his top priority, even writing an album titled Fathers & Sons inspired by his kids.
“I wanted them to be able to reference later on in their life that even at the height of my success, they were still my number one priority,” he told PEOPLE. “If anyone’s dad had the opportunity to do something like that, I think that they would take it. At least I would hope so. I did it for them.”
When the album was released, Combs shared a heartfelt message behind why created it, confessing that the project signaled a shift in his work.
“I’ve been putting out music for over 10 years now. Over time, I’ve gotten a pretty good grasp on what I feel like my fans enjoy hearing. It’s scary to think about changing that, but I’ve always wanted to grow up alongside my fan base,” Combs wrote. “I’ve got two boys under two, so my life is dominated by the thoughts of being there for them. I want to be their dad first and foremost.”
He wondered if his listeners even wanted to hear sons about fatherhood.
“I hope so…but at the same time, I know I could try and recreate the mainstream success of ‘Beer Never Broke My Heart’ or ‘When It Rains It Pours’ and sometimes I selfishly want to do that,” he admitted.
“I just had to do this project, though, because being a dad to my boys has been the main thing on my mind lately,” the country star explained. “I don’t want to say this is a side project because it is me and my stuff, but what started as a crazy idea with only a few dad songs turned into me saying we should just record all of them as my next album. I know it’s probably not what everyone expected my next album to be and I get that; I feel the same way in this not truly feeling like my next album. But being a dad is where life has taken me, and this album is a reflection of that in song form.”
The Combs family can’t wait to meet their new little one this winter!
