Sean “Diddy” Combs has officially been placed on suicide watch, per PEOPLE. Combs is currently awaiting trial in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Officially on Suicide Watch Prior to Trial
Sean “Diddy” Combs was denied bail twice following his arrest on September 16. Combs was arrested for sex trafficking, racketeering, and kidnapping in New York City.
Combs and his attorney had asked for a $50 million bail to be set. However, because Combs is a “flee risk,” the judge denied the offer. Combs submitted a second bail offer, but that was also denied.
Combs will remain in jail until he faces trial. As of now, no trial date has been set.
Combs Pleads Not Guilty to All Charges Following New York City Arrest
Combs pled “not guilty” to all three charges he is facing while in court on September 17. His lawyer states Combs is “not a perfect person” and claims that he found himself in “toxic relationships,” but says he isn’t a criminal.
On Monday night, Combs was taken into federal custody by the FBI following a long investigation. Combs’ homes were even raided in March of this year. The raid included multiple large teams, as well as helicopters flying over the property.
Diddy was not home when the raids took place. However, his two sons were captured on camera by news helicopters in handcuffs, although they were eventually released.
