Diddy Placed on ‘Procedural’ Suicide Watch While Awaiting Trial in Federal Custody


Diddy is on suicide watch as he awaits trial in jail for charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, according to reports.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been placed on a suicide watch as he awaits trial in federal custody on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, NBC News and People reported on Friday (Sept. 20). The hip-hop titan was denied bail at his Sept. 17 arraignment for an alleged decades-long racketeering streak that the indictment indicates involved forced labor, kidnapping, arson and bribery. According to reports, the mogul’s attorneys have requested that their client be transferred to a facility in Essex County in New Jersey, arguing he might be unsafe at the hands of other inmates in the Metropolitan Detention Center.
