The LaBrant Family’s Cole LaBrant has garnered immense backlash online after posting a video of himself dancing with his 11-year-old stepdaughter Everleigh.

The video, which has now been deleted from TikTok and Instagram where it had been originally posted, showcased the duo performing a choreography, with Sean “Diddy” Combs’ I’ll Be Missing You 1997 single playing in the background.

Many were displeased with the video being posted online considering the singer’s recent arrest as he faces s*x trafficking charges.

In the video in question, Cole LaBrant was seen performing a choreography for the song that was created by Combs alongside Faith Evans in a neighborhood. It is worth noting that performing to the song was a trend in 2023, which several netizens participated in previously. However, considering the singer’s September 16 arrest that also included charges relating to transportation to engage in prostitution charges, many found the TikTok video inappropriate.

As mentioned earlier, the video that was originally posted on Cole LaBrant’s social media platforms, has since been removed. Meanwhile, many took to Reddit and other websites to comment on the video. One netizen said:

How many children does Cole LaBrant have? Details revealed amid Diddy-video controversy

Savannah and Cole LaBrant are parents to daughters Posie and Sunday and sons Zealand and Beckham, who are five, two, four years old, and four months old, respectively. Savannah gave birth to Everleigh when she was still in high school. Everleigh’s father Tommy passed away in 2022.

The family has been consistently sharing their lives on YouTube and has managed to amass over 12 million subscribers on YouTube.

This is not the first time the LaBrant family has come under fire online. In 2021, they made headlines after posting a video titled She got diagnosed with cancer. Fans were under the assumption that one of the children or Savannah got diagnosed with the disease. However, Cole revealed in the video that one of their daughters was certainly taken to the ER for a reason; however, it was unrelated to cancer, and another child who was not present in the video had the disease in reality. Cole later apologized for the clickbait title.

The family has also been outspoken about their Christian faith and their stance on abortion, which has been extensively discussed by followers.


Meanwhile, Diddy remains in jail in New York City as he awaits trial. The controversial rapper was denied bail twice as he faced s*x trafficking and racketeering charges alongside the ones mentioned above.
