Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Placed on Suicide Watch at New York’s Metropolitan Detention Centre
Rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, 54, has been placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in New York, amid his ongoing legal battle. According to reports, the precautionary measure was taken to ensure Diddy’s well-being and safety. However, his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has denied any suicidal tendencies, stating that the rapper is “healthy, strong, confident, and focused on his defense.”
Diddy was arrested on Monday and is currently facing federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. On Tuesday, US Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky ordered him to be held at the federal lockup until his trial. Despite this, Agnifilo has emphasized that the suicide watch directive is merely a routine procedure for high-profile inmates.
The lawyer, who spent six hours with Diddy at the lockup on Thursday, revealed that the rapper is not suicidal and is instead preparing for his defense. “He’s not at all suicidal,” Agnifilo told TMZ. “He was healthy, strong, confident, and focused on his defense.”
The exact duration of Diddy’s suicide watch is unknown, but Agnifilo has assured the public that his client is in good spirits and will continue to fight the charges against him. As the case unfolds, fans and followers of the embattled rapper are left to speculate about his future and the outcome of his legal battle.
For now, Diddy remains under the watchful eye of the authorities, awaiting his day in court.
