American rapper and music mogul Sean Diddy Combs has been placed on suicide watch at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center following his recent arrest on multiple charges, including sex trafficking, kidnapping, and racketeering. The high-profile artist was taken into custody on Monday, September 16, 2024, after being denied bail twice by the federal court.
According to People Magazine, on September 19, 2024, Diddy’s case has drawn significant attention, prompting close observation due to its serious nature. Prosecutors have accused the rapper of leading a criminal enterprise since 2008, which allegedly relied on drugs and violence to coerce women into fulfilling his sexual desires.
In an attempt to secure his release, Diddy’s legal team offered a $50 million bail package, backed by his Miami Star Island mansion and his mother’s Miami residence. However, the court rejected the proposal, deeming him a flight risk. The defense also suggested house arrest with restrictions, including no female visitors, but this request was also denied.
If convicted on all charges, Combs faces a potential prison sentence ranging from 15 years to life. His arrest comes after raids on his Los Angeles and Miami properties in March 2024, where law enforcement reportedly discovered 1,000 bottles of lubricant and three AR-15 rifles.
Diddy is expected to appear in court later this week as the case continues to unfold.
