Sean 'Diddy' Combs - also known as Puff Daddy and P Diddy - has reportedly been placed on suicide watch as he awaits trial in a Brooklyn prison after being denied bail
Reports have surfaced that Sean "Diddy" Combs is on suicide watch following his recent legal troubles.
The 54-year-old is now behind bars awaiting trial, slapped with charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The music bigwig saw bail denied for the second time by a judge in a Manhattan court on Tuesday, as reported by The Mirror US. On Wednesday, September 18, Diddy's lawyer Marc Agnifilo revealed that his client was being kept in the special housing unit, which boasts an "extra layer of security". He had lobbied for Diddy's transfer to a New Jersey penitentiary, however, the judge left the final call to the Bureau of Prisons. The MDC's special housing wing keeps inmates away from the general jail population.
Diddy's legal team acknowledged the poor conditions in a motion for bail filed on Tuesday. They wrote: "Just earlier this summer, an inmate was murdered. At least four inmates have died by suicide there in the past three years."
