(New York, NY) — Sean “Diddy” Combs celebrated his 55th birthday Monday behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, as he faces sex trafficking charges. His seven children called him to wish him a happy birthday and then posted part of the conversation on Instagram. Diddy told his kids that he was okay, and that he was very proud of them. He thanked them for the call and told them to be strong.
Diddy’s lawyers are asking a judge for a gag order to stop potential witness statements outside of court. Combs’ team filed documents Sunday, citing grand jury witness Courtney Burgess in particular, who has given multiple interviews recently. The music mogul’s team says Burgess is making false statements and is telling terrible stories that are not true.
