Sean Combs – Combs Opens Up About Wayne Jail Visit

May 20th, 2010 | By

SEAN COMBS has opened up about his jail visit to see incarcerated rapper LIL WAYNE – insisting the star “is doing great” behind bars.

Combs was approved by officials to meet with the Lollipop hitmaker – who was caged in March (10) after pleading guilty to gun possession charges – for an hour last month (Apr10).

The hip-hop star visited Wayne at Rikers Island prison in New York, and admits he urged the rapper to use his time in prison to make himself a “better person”.

Combs tells MTV News, “Wayne is a trooper. Wayne is doing great. It was a personal visit, so I don’t want to get into the details of that. We’re just counting down the days of him getting out. He’s somebody that has been there for me over the years numerous times.

“I live in New York. It wouldn’t have been right if I didn’t go see him and check on his health and well-being. But the status of where that’s at, that’s his personal business. I think we gonna miss a certain energy that Wayne has.

“The beauty about it is, he’ll be back, and hopefully he’ll come back a better person. Whenever we get in trouble, we’re in the public spotlight. So hopefully there’s a lot of kids out there who could learn from any mistakes that we may have put ourselves in, even if we’re not guilty of the crime sometimes.”

Diddy Visits Lil Wayne In Prison

May 4th, 2010 | By

Diddy paid a surprise visit to the incarcerated Lil Wayne on Wednesday, according to a source who spoke with the New York Daily News over the weekend.

The music mogul made the trek to the Eric M. Taylor Center at Rikers Island and spent an hour talking with the fellow hip-hop star. According to the report, Diddy is on the list of approved visitors the Cash Money artist maintains.

In March, MTV News examined the visitors policy at New York prisons. Inmates are permitted visitors weekly, from a number of different people, including lawyers, media and just about anyone who is willing to make the trip, which the corrections department suggests be made via public transportation. Diddy, reportedly, eschewed his normal chauffeur service in favor of the public shuttle to the center.

At press time, a rep for Diddy had not responded to MTV News’ request for confirmation or comment.

To keep inmates safe, a guard notifies the jailed residents about visitors, and they must agree to the visit if the person isn’t on the pre-approved list. Each week, inmates are permitted two visits, which can last up to an hour and occur any day of the week except Monday and Tuesday, when the facility is closed to all visits.

On those days when visitors are welcomed, hours for visits range from 12:30 to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Within those options lie scheduling blocks dictated by a sliding scale that is determined by the first letter of a prisoner’s last name and available on the Department of Corrections website. Visits by religious persons, media members or the rapper’s legal team do not count toward an inmate’s scheduled visits for the week.
