Diddy attracted attention when updating a new status on social networks even though he was in prison awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges. Previously, the source confirmed that the tycoon did not receive any special support at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
On October 16, Diddy’s (Sean Combs) Instagram account was suddenly updated with a new status line. The post has nothing to do with the legal trouble the tycoon is facing, instead focusing on his youngest daughter, baby Love.
The status line uses lyrics from the familiar song Happy Birthday to you to congratulate baby Love on turning 2 years old, accompanied by images of father and son. According to Daily Mail, Love is the daughter Diddy has with his ex-girlfriend, Dana Tran, and is the youngest of the hip hop mogul’s seven children.
“Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday baby Love! Happy Birthday to you. Happy birthday Love Sean Combs, I love you!”, Diddy wrote.
What makes netizens wonder is that Diddy, who is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, USA, can access the Internet. Many people suspect that the rapper born in 1969 received special treatment in prison. In addition, there are opinions that stars’ social network accounts are often managed by assistants or close people who post important information and special occasions on their behalf.
The audience commented: “He is still allowed to post on social networks even though he should have been deprived of his freedom”, “He has the Internet in prison. It’s a type of hotel”, “For those who don’t know. Prisoners receive tablets to call out. Prisons today seem more like boarding schools for troublemakers. No more punishment. This system is a joke”, “I assume his personal assistant or the person in charge of his social media accounts is the one who posted this message”, “He is not the one who posted it”, “Even though posted through his henchmen, he shouldn’t have done that”, “Maybe it’s a PR move by his team to imply he’s a good man who loves his children”…
In addition, a part pointed out that congratulating his daughter on Instagram was an unwise move by Diddy, in a context where the tycoon is the focus of outrage. It has no effect other than showing that Diddy still has the power to manipulate and challenge public opinion.
According to the Metropolitan Detention Center’s visitation guidelines, Diddy is allowed to meet with people on the outside for one hour a week. It’s unclear whether the male rapper will use this precious time to see his youngest daughter on her birthday.
Previously, People revealed that Diddy was able to speak briefly with her children and other family members over the phone.
The source emphasized that the tycoon cares a lot about his children and their health, especially the underage children because most do not have their mothers around.
According to other knowledgeable people, Diddy’s children were shocked and devastated when they heard that their father was arrested. To them, Diddy is not a star, but simply a devoted and loving father.
In addition to Love, Diddy had three children, Christian, Jessie and D’Lila, with the late model and actress Kim Porter (who passed away in 2018 at the age of 47). The mogul also adopted Quincy, Kim’s stepson with singer/songwriter Al B. Sure!. Diddy has Justin with stylist Misa Hylton, and Chance with businesswoman Sarah Chapman.
Another source emphasized to People Diddy did not receive any special assistance at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
“He is being treated like any other prisoner awaiting trial. Like all public figures caught in similar situations, he was placed on suicide watch when entering this facility as a precautionary measure,” the insider said.
