Diddy Awakens to Inmate Holding Makeshift Blade to His Throat in Jail

In a concerning turn of events, music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs recently experienced a harrowing incident while serving his sentence at the Metropolitan Detention Centre (MDC) in Brooklyn. Last month, Diddy reportedly woke up to an inmate allegedly pressing a makeshift blade to his throat in his jail cell.

The claims were made public by Diddy's longtime associate Charlucci Finney, who stated that the rapper, who is awaiting appeal in a federal sex trafficking case, received a kind of 'warning' in jail. Finney explained that while the intruder did not intend to harm Diddy, the situation could have turned deadly in an instant. "If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed. It would only take a second. I believe it was a message - a warning," Finney said.
