Diddy’s mum hospitalised with chest pain

Janice Combs, the mother of Diddy, the US rapper, has been hospitalised following complaints of chest pains.

According to TMZ, the 83-year-old was rushed to the hospital in South Florida, the United States, on Wednesday, after she complained about discomfort in her chest.

The cause of her chest pain remains unknown but it is said to be related to stress over her son’s legal battles — including the federal investigation and multiple civil lawsuits.

Diddy is said to be by her side as she is expected to remain in the hospital for another day for further observation.

Diddy has been in the public eye since last November, after several women, including Cassie Ventura, the rapper’s ex-girlfriend, took him to court, claiming they were sexually assaulted.

Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, Diddy’s former producer, also filed a lawsuit alleging that the rapper sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him for over a year.

In March, the United States Department of Homeland Security raided two properties linked to Diddy.

In May, a video surfaced showing Combs assaulting Cassie in 2016.

Diddy, who had denied Cassie’s claims, however, apologised. He said he was “truly sorry” and that his actions were “inexcusable”.

He recently sold his entire stake in Revolt, the media company he co-founded in 2013.
