Sean Diddy Combs Faces Knife Threat in Brooklyn Jail Amid Racketeering Case

Sean "Diddy" Combs, currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following his 2024 conviction on charges including racketeering and sex trafficking, reportedly survived a near-fatal attack in prison when another inmate held a makeshift knife to his throat while he slept. His longtime friend Charlucci Finney revealed that the incident was likely intended as intimidation rather than a genuine attempt to harm Combs, emphasizing that if the attacker had wanted to kill him, it would have been an easy act. Finney highlighted Combs' resilience, noting "Sean is from Harlem" and suggesting the threat was a warning to deter him. Concerns about Combs' safety in prison have been echoed by his legal team, who have raised alarms regarding potential risks, especially given the nature of his charges. Although there were rumors that President Trump might consider a pardon or commutation for Combs, White House officials have officially denied these reports. Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison and a $500,000 fine, with release scheduled after five years of supervision.
