Janice Combs, the mother of Sean “Diddy” Combs, is recovering after she was hospitalized for chest pains.
The Combs family matriarch was admitted to a hospital on Wednesday, July 10, in South Florida.
“Stress” is believed to have been a factor, a source told NBC News on Thursday.
“The stress of everything has been a lot for her,” the source explained. “I think she largely, like, you know, she’s standing by her son.”
Janice Combs, 84, remained hospitalized as of Thursday evening, with doctors “keeping her for observation.”

Diddy reportedly rushed to his mother’s side while she recuperates and undergoes medical tests to determine the cause of the chest pains.
Janice Combs had brain surgery earlier this year, according to NBC News.
As she deals with health problems, her son has continued to make headlines amid a string of sexual abuse lawsuits, and a raid by federal agents on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami on March 25.
The mogul’s ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura filed the first civil complaint in November 2023. The 35-page lawsuit alleged rape, sexual battery, and human trafficking.
Diddy settled the suit after one day. Although one of his legal reps said the settlement was in “no way an admission of wrongdoing.”
On May 17, CNN aired surveillance video recorded in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016, that showed the rapper and producer kicking Ventura and dragging her down a hallway.
Two days later, Diddy posted an apology video on Instagram, saying he was “fu–ked up” and had hit “rock bottom” when he attacked his then-girlfriend.
He has since deleted all of the content from his Instagram page, including the apology video.
As the fallout from the civil lawsuits continues and the Department of Justice expanded its sex trafficking investigation into the Bad Boy Records founder.
He returned his symbolic key to New York City in June.
Howard University revoked an honorary degree given to the mogul in 2014 and returned a $1 million dollar donation he made to the HBCU. The school also said it was disbanding a scholarship program in the mogul’s name, and terminating a 2023 pledge agreement from the Sean Combs Foundation worth $1 million.
Revolt TV, a multi-media company and cable network that Combs founded in 2013, cut all ties with him and said his “shares have been redeemed and retired.”
In December, Hulu halted production on a reality show titled Diddy+7, about the mogul and his seven children.
