In response to the article, Engelmayer told The Daily Mail: 'The continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs's life in prison has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news.'

media → tell → news
'The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence within the rules and he patiently awaits the court's decision on his appeal.'

uncertain
him → teach → sex
A representative for the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) said they were unable to comment on Diddy 'for privacy, safety, and security reasons' when reached for comment.
