Was Sean Diddy Combs Really Suicidal Post-Arrest? Rapper’s Lawyer Has THIS To Say About Suicide Watch

As a die-hard fan who has followed Diddy’s journey from his humble beginnings in Harlem to becoming a titan in the entertainment industry, I can’t help but feel a pang of concern as I read about his current situation. The news of him being placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center is troubling, especially considering the facility’s less-than-stellar reputation for care and conditions.


Sean Diddy Combs, who is presently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York, has been put on suicide watch but his counsel claims there is no such indication. His lawyer Marc Agnifilo, says, the suicide watch is precautionary concerning a new influx of high-profile prisoners, whose mental well-being is being misread.

According to Agnifilo, who spent six hours with Diddy at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), his client is in high spirits, mentally sound, and eager to prove his innocence regarding any criminal charges. In conversation with TMZ, he described Diddy as being strong, healthy, self-assured, and fully dedicated to building his defense.

He categorically asserted that the suicide watch status is simply a procedural step that is taken in the care of famous prisoners and does not mean Diddy is suicidal. He observed that Diddy does not exhibit any features that would indicate a risk of self-harm and is intent on developing a defense plan against the accusations he is facing.

54-year-old Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into custody in New York City on September 16, facing charges related to sex trafficking. These charges stem from a federal indictment presented by a grand jury, which accuses him of racketeering conspiracy, forcing, deceiving, or coercing individuals into sex work, and transporting women for the purpose of prostitution.

According to multiple sources, the care provided to patients at MDC, including where Diddy is detained, has faced criticism over the years. The facility is infamous for its insufficient living conditions and resources for prisoners, and there have been many instances of prisoners attempting suicide or self-harm.

Given these challenging conditions, Agnifilo aimed to ask the District Court to move Diddy to a correctional facility in Newark, New Jersey (Essex County), arguing that his current circumstances at MDC were unsuitable. This appeal is yet to be resolved, according to TMZ.

As an ardent follower, it’s hard not to feel disheartened by the turmoil that P. Diddy seems to be embroiled in. According to People, there have been allegations of events hosted by him where participants were subjected to abuse, drugged, threatened, and filmed without their consent. The situation took a drastic turn in March when federal authorities raided Diddy’s bases in Miami and Los Angeles, uncovering three AR-15 rifles and thousands upon thousands of lubricant bottles.

Sean Diddy Combs is in custody and due for his next court hearing which is set to be on September 24.
