Sean “Diddy” Combs, the 54-year-old rap mogul, has been placed on routine suicide watch as he awaits trial on multiple felony charges in a New York jail, according to US media reports.
Combs is being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after being denied bail twice following his indictment on serious sex crimes.
On Tuesday, Combs was indicted on three criminal counts, including allegations that he sexually abused women and coerced them into attending drug-fueled sex parties through threats and violence. In addition to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, Combs faces one count of transporting victims across state lines to engage in prostitution.
Prosecutors argue that Combs led a criminal enterprise that exploited women, forcing them to engage in sex acts under the threat of physical violence, financial instability, and reputational harm. The charges paint a disturbing picture of a high-profile figure wielding power and influence to abuse vulnerable women.
Despite the gravity of the charges, Combs has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty. His legal team continues to challenge the accusations, but for now, he remains in custody.
As his high-profile case continues to unfold, Combs’ status on suicide watch reflects the ongoing concern for his mental state as he confronts the possibility of a lengthy trial and severe legal consequences.
