On October 16, Diddy (Sean Combs) ‘s Instagram account was suddenly updated with a new status. The post had nothing to do with the legal troubles the tycoon is facing, instead focusing on his youngest daughter, Love.

Diddy posted a birthday message to his youngest daughter on Instagram.

The status line used lyrics from the familiar song Happy Birthday to you to congratulate baby Love on her 2nd birthday, along with pictures of father and daughter. According to Daily Mail , Love is Diddy’s daughter with ex-girlfriend, Dana Tran, and is also the youngest of the hip hop mogul’s 7 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!”, wrote Diddy.

What makes netizens wonder is that Diddy is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, USA, how can he access the Internet. Many people suspect that the rapper born in 1969 receives special treatment in prison. In addition, there are opinions that the star’s social media accounts are often managed by assistants or close relatives and posted on his behalf important information as well as special occasions.

Viewers commented: “He is still allowed to post on social media even though he should have been deprived of his freedom”, “He has internet in prison. It is a kind of hotel”, “For those who do not know. Prisoners are allowed to use tablets to call out. Prisons nowadays seem more like boarding schools for troublemakers. There is no punishment anymore. This system is a joke”, “I think 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 if he posted it through his henchmen, he should not have done it”, “It is probably a PR stunt by his team to imply that he is a good man who loves his children”…

In addition, some pointed out that Diddy’s congratulating his daughter on Instagram was an unwise move, in the context of the tycoon being the center of outrage. It did nothing but show that Diddy still had the power to manipulate and challenge public opinion.

According to the Metropolitan Detention Center’s visitation guidelines, Diddy is allowed one hour a week of outside contact. It’s unclear whether the rapper will use this precious time to see his youngest daughter on her birthday.

Previously, People revealed that Diddy could talk briefly with his children and other family members over the phone.

The source stressed that the boss cares a lot about his children and their health, especially the underage children because most of them do not have their mothers around.

Diddy’s children were shocked and devastated when they heard the news of their father’s arrest, according to another person familiar with the matter. To them, Diddy was not a celebrity, but simply a devoted and loving father.

In addition to Love, Diddy has three children, Christian, Jessie, and D’Lila, with the late model and actress Kim Porter (who died in 2018 at age 47). The mogul also adopted Quincy, Kim’s child with singer/songwriter Al B. Sure!. Diddy has Justin with stylist Misa Hylton, and Chance with businesswoman Sarah Chapman.

Another source stressed to People Diddy did not receive any special assistance at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

“He is being treated like any other inmate awaiting trial. Like all public figures in similar circumstances, he was placed on suicide watch when he entered the facility as a precaution,” the insider said.
