Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs looming trial for sex trafficking and racketeering may be weighing heavily on him.
The hip-hop mogul is set to stand trial in New York City starting in May for charges including kidnapping, racketeering, and sex trafficking. Of course, Diddy denied all the charges when he pleaded not guilty last year, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t concerned about his fate as the trial date draws near.

Last Friday, Diddy appeared in court to request a delay in the start date of his trial by two months. However, his motion for an extension was denied by the judge, who ruled that his legal team had sufficient time to prepare for trial. There were no cameras in court, but a sketch artist’s sketch has gone viral as fans noticed he was sporting a lot more grey hairs than previous and may have been showing his age a little more.
The sketch shows him still sporting short hair and a beard covered by white hair, a sign that he may have at least been able to get a haircut behind bars. Some fans joked that it’s merely because he perhaps doesn’t allow hair dye behind bars and has no choice but to show his grey hair.
“Nah he always have grey hair just no hair dye in jail for him that’s all, but his face does look a little like he aged a bit since going in the slammer. Man this case is no joke,” one fan wrote.

Some fans also commented on his seeming weight loss since his incarceration for the past six months. Shortly after his arrest in New York last September, there were speculations that Diddy wasn’t eating behind bars due to fear he could be poisoned. However, his attorneys dismissed the rumors as false, saying he is eating just fine and is not worried about any assassination attempts.
The rap titan is currently housed at the Metropolitan Detention Center, MDC, in Brooklyn, a facility notorious for housing high-profile inmates. If convicted, Diddy faces decades in prison for the crimes.
