Inmate Recounts Alleged Knife Incident Involving Rapper Diddy at Brooklyn Jail

In October 2024, rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs was transferred from the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn to the low-security FCI Fort Dix prison in New Jersey to begin his four-year sentence. This move came after an alleged incident at the MDC, where Combs was reportedly nearly attacked by another inmate wielding a knife.

According to Raymond Castillo, the inmate who intervened to protect Combs, the confrontation began while the rapper was watching a TV show. The would-be attacker approached Combs with a request, and when he refused, the man allegedly obtained a handmade shiv and began to approach Combs. Castillo then stepped in to prevent the attack.

While there were initial reports of a knife being held to Combs' throat, Castillo has now stated that these were "false rumors." He described the incident as more of an "intimidation" tactic rather than a true assassination attempt. Despite the precarious situation, Combs apparently handled the confrontation effectively, and the authorities were eventually called to the scene.
