The rapper mentioned that in the past two years, he has frequently visited the hospitals and said that he believes he is one of the most accident-prone people in the world. Diddy revealed that earlier he had an injury with rotator cuffs; soon after that, he had a knee replacement and now he has a surgery on the quad.

He mentioned that this probably is God’s work to slow him down in order for him to take better care of his body. He further said that maybe God is signalling him to stop treating his body like a machine and eat right.
