Diddy may not be eating prison food over fears of being poisoned, claims former inmate
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK: Larry Levine, a former inmate at the prison where Sean 'Diddy' Combs is currently incarcerated revealed that a source close to the rapper believes that he may be avoiding prison food because he is 'paranoid' and 'scared' of getting poisoned, per News Nation.
Diddy was arrested on September 16 in Manhattan and was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution, which he denies. He is housed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center currently.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs may be avoiding prison food
Levine said, "There’s people out there that he has things on that do have a substantial amount of money" adding that those people could also pay someone to poison him.
He added, "Imagine if someone paid someone off on the inside to actually poison his food, give him a heart attack and he dies, and no one would really think anything of it. So that may be one of the reasons he’s not eating."
He also mentioned that other possibilities include a hunger strike or just bad food. He added that the food at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) has 'a lot of carbohydrates' and is plain in taste.
He said, "There’s mold in a lot of that food, the food coming to him is cold. It’s not coming to him warm like it would be in a regular housing unit, because they feed the people in the shoe last. Maybe he got sick from the food. That’s another possibility."
Levine also mentioned that Diddy has been in touch with his children, a dietitian, a lawyer, and a minister during his first week of pretrial detention, per the outlet.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' life in MDC
Diddy's life in MDC consists of no smoking, random drug tests, and even something such as being able to contact his family has become a luxury. As per the federal inmate admission and orientation handbook, "Inmate smoking is prohibited in all [Bureau of Prison] facilities."
Moreover, he is not just dealing with no-smoking policies, he’s also adjusting to the tough daily routine of prison life, per In Touch. He is supposed to wake up by 6 am everyday and by 7.30 am, he has to have his bed neatly made.
He also has to mop the floors and maintain the hygiene of his living quarters. The handbook also mentions that inmates such as Diddy can contact their friends and family using a restricted version of email, called public messaging.
The handbook states, "Inmates may correspond with friends and family using public messaging. This is a restricted version of email that will only allow text messages and no attachments. There is a cost per minute fee for using this service. Messages are limited to 13,000 characters."
Diddy is allowed to use the phone system from 7.30 am until 10.30 am and again from 12.30 pm to 4.00 pm and calls are monitored and recorded.
The prison also offers arts and crafts programs, with supplies for painting, sketching, and even crocheting and knitting which Diddy can use for leisure.
Diddy hit with $100 million default civil judgment
Diddy has been hit with a huge $100 million default civil judgment by a Michigan judge which has forced him to sell his assets to cover his legal fees, per RadarOnline.
He has reportedly been trying to sell his 17,000-square-foot Los Angeles home, one of two properties that were raided by Homeland Security for $61.5 million.
A source said, "The walls certainly seem to be closing in on him."
The $100 million payout comes from the allegations made against Diddy by Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, a 51-year-old Michigan inmate serving up to 75 years for first-degree criminal sexual conduct and kidnapping.
He claims that Diddy spiked his drink and assaulted him when he was unconscious at a party in Detroit in 1997.
