*Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly encountered a dangerous situation while serving his prison sentence. Charlucci Finney, a longtime friend of the Bad Boy Records founder, told the Daily Mail that Combs “woke up with a knife to his throat.”
Diddy is currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He was sentenced earlier this month to 50 months in prison after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. According to the National Enquirer, the inmate involved in the confrontation was armed with a shiv, an improvised knife or razor. “I just know that it happened,” Finney said, adding that he was unsure whether Combs defended himself or if prison guards intervened.
“If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed. It would only take a second to cut his throat with a weapon and kill him. It was probably a way to say: ‘Next time you ain’t gonna be so lucky.’ Everything is intimidation. But with Sean it won’t work. Sean is from Harlem,” Finney added.
Finney also highlighted the particular risks faced by those convicted of sex-related crimes in prison. “The prisoners take it personal,” he said.

“They look at it like, it could have been my mom, my auntie, my daughter. They try to get what they call prison justice. And you have to understand, we are not talking about a regular person. We’re talking about Diddy,” he added.
During his trial, Combs — who pleaded not guilty to sex-related charges — was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking but found guilty on the two counts related to prostitution. NBC News reported that his legal team is pursuing a transfer to a low-security facility in New Jersey.
