Diddy latest: Sean Combs ‘put on suicide watch’ as he awaits trial behind bars

Jimmy Kimmel has reminded Donald Trump of the glowing comments he previously made about Diddy following the charges against him this week.

After the judge denied the rapper bail on Tuesday, the Jimmy Kimmel Live host said on his show: “In the meantime, he’s getting his character references lined up.”

Kimmel then played a clip from Trump’s days hosting The Celebrity Apprentice (a spin-off of his original show The Apprentice).

In 1999 Diddy said in an interview he “wanted to be very, very rich”. He accomplished that, but his millions couldn’t keep him out of jail while he awaits trial.

According to Forbes, Diddy’s estimated net worth is approximately $400 million. As the string of shocking allegations have come out against him in the last year, his wealth has dropped. In 2019 his net worth was an estimated $740 million.

His lawyers said he was trying to sell his private jet – dubbed “Combs Air” – which set him back $60 million.

He purchased his sprawling Miami mansion – which he has now switched for the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn – for $14.5 million in 2003. It is now worth upwards of $48 million, his lawyers said.

Kesha has teased a new version of her hit song “Tik Tok”, which contains a reference to the disgraced music mogul.

The 37-year-old singer, who originally released the 2009 track with the opening lyric “Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy”, has shared a new version with the alternative line, “feeling like f*** P Diddy”.

Kesha first teased the lyric change when singing the alternative version onstage with Reneé Rapp at Coachella in March, and has since promised fans she will officially release the song on streaming platforms when she secures the legal rights.

Diddy and his legal team knew that serious charges against him were coming.

One of his attorneys, Teny Geragos, told NewsNation how the rapper traveled to New York 12 days before his arrest and was ready “to surrender”.

Since he arrived in the city, he was holed up in the Park Hyatt New York before his arrest on Monday night by Homeland Security Investigations.

He appeared in court on Tuesday, where he pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Diddy was refused bail by a judge on Tuesday, and his lawyers argued against this at an appeal hearing on Wednesday.

They ultimately failed to convince another judge to bail their client and he was sent back to pre-trial detention.

More details on Diddy reportedly being placed “on suicide watch” now.

A source told NBC the move was “procedural with high profile clients” and Diddy “remains strong and focused on his defense” as he awaits trial.

His lawyers are hoping to get him out of the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn before trial, they said.

More than three decades after Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs named his label Bad Boy Records, he’s been arrested on federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges, accused of everything from arson to kidnapping.

He has pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations against him.

As authorities outline the shocking activities allegedly carried out at Diddy’s direction by his “criminal enterprise,” Sheila Flynn charts the star’s epic fall from grace.

The rapper is being held in the prison on pretrial detention.

The footage, obtained by Spectrum News NY1, shows cockroaches in the cereal and mold growing in the showers.

In court this week, the prosecution said there is “a massive amount of evidence” against the defendant, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges again him.

Here’s a breakdown of some of the figures:

• More than 50 alleged victims and witnesses interviewed
• 300 grand jury subpoenas served
• 20 search warrants obtained
• 100 seized phones, tablets and iCloud accounts
• 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant seized in the raid on his home earlier this year

Diddy’s legal team have requested whether the judge would consider transferring their client from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to a facility in Essex County, New Jersey.

His legal team had tried to keep the rapper out of the notorious New York facility, but a judge ruled he must stay there until trial.
