A long‑time friend of Sean “Diddy” Combs alleges the rapper experienced a life‑threatening moment in his jail cell when an inmate reportedly held a knife to his throat. The incident supposedly occurred at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn (MDC Brooklyn), where Combs is serving his sentence.
Charlucci Finney, who says he has known the music mogul for more than 30 years, told the Daily Mail that the attack seemed more like an intimidation tactic than an actual murder attempt:
“I don’t know whether he fought him off or the guards came… I just know that it happened.”
Combs was sentenced earlier this month to 50 months in prison after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
What’s Known
- The friend’s claim is not confirmed by authorities or MDC Brooklyn.
- Finney speculates the incident was meant as a warning: “It’s probably a way to say: ‘Next time you ain’t gonna be so lucky.’”
- Combs’ legal team has previously submitted filings about his vulnerable conditions behind bars, including being under “constant suicide watch.”
Why It Matters
- If true, the incident raises serious concerns about inmate safety and protective measures for high‑profile prisoners.
- The claim may influence ongoing motions by Combs’ defence seeking a transfer to a less volatile facility.
- Public and media scrutiny of Combs’ incarceration conditions could intensify, especially given his celebrity status and legal visibility.
What to Watch Next
- Whether prison officials, the Bureau of Prisons, or MDC Brooklyn provide an official response or investigation update.
- Any court filings or motions that reference the incident or use it as part of a mitigation argument.
- Reactions from Combs’ legal team—either confirming the front‑line claim or refuting it.
- How this allegation affects Combs’ broader legal situation and public narrative during his sentence.
