LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Sean "Diddy" Combs is currently on suicide watch at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) as he awaits trial on several serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering.

Following his arrest at a Manhattan hotel on September 16, Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges that were later unsealed, which detail his alleged coercion of victims into engaging in illicit activities, PEOPLE reported.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs put on suicide watch as he awaits trial

Diddy was remanded to MDC on Tuesday, September 17, after pleading not guilty and being denied bail twice that week. 

Sources reveal that Combs's placement on suicide watch is a precautionary measure, stemming from his "shock" at the situation, though it remains unclear whether he is experiencing suicidal thoughts.

The US Department of Justice describes suicide watch as "supervisory precautions taken for suicidal inmates that require frequent observation."

Combs’s legal team has expressed significant concerns regarding the conditions at MDC, which is known for being overcrowded and dangerous. In a motion for bail, they cited past incidents, including murders and suicides within the facility.

Diddy's attorney has requested a transfer to a different prison in Essex County, New Jersey, but the decision rests with the Bureau of Prisons.

The gravity of the charges against Combs includes allegations of using his influence and drugs to manipulate victims into participating in what prosecutors describe as "freak offs."

Federal authorities have reported the seizure of weapons and illicit substances during searches of his properties in Miami and Los Angeles.

A conference hearing for Combs is scheduled for September 24, where further developments in his case will be addressed.
