Overview
- An inmate allegedly entered Sean “Diddy” Combs’s cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and held a knife or improvised weapon to his throat while he slept, according to accounts reported by Daily Mail and TMZ.
- Longtime friend Charlucci Finney said Combs “woke up with a knife to his throat,” while an anonymous friend told TMZ he was “a few seconds from dying.”
- It remains unclear whether Combs repelled the assailant or guards intervened, and the reported episode became public weeks after it allegedly occurred without official verification.
- Combs’s lawyers are pressing for a transfer to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, citing safety risks, access to drug-rehabilitation programs, and improved family contact.
- Combs is serving an approximately 50‑month sentence after conviction on two counts of transporting people for prostitution, and he was acquitted of racketeering.
