Diddy placed on routine suicide watch in New York jail
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been placed on routine suicide watch as he awaits trial in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, a source told Fox News Digital.
The source added that “this is common practice for high-profile individuals as they are admitted to a federal facility and not indicative of his mental state.”
Combs was arrested Monday in the lobby of a New York hotel, another source previously confirmed to Fox News Digital. He was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution in an indictment unsealed Tuesday.
In a statement to Fox News Digital on Friday, a Diddy spokesperson said, “Mr. Combs is strong, healthy, and focused on his defense. He is committed to fighting this case and has full confidence in both his legal team and the truth.”

The rapper entered a not-guilty plea hours after the indictment detailing his alleged sex crimes was unsealed. A judge on Wednesday denied a request by Combs’ lawyers to let him await trial under house arrest at his $48 million mansion on an island in Miami Beach, Florida, instead of the Brooklyn federal lockup, where he was headed.
When Fox News Digital reached out to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn for comment regarding Diddy being placed on routine suicide watch, their team replied, “For privacy, safety, and security reasons the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) does not provide information about conditions of confinement or internal security practices for any particular incarcerated individual.”

Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center has been home to several high-profile inmates, including R. Kelly and Ghislaine Maxwell.
In 2022, Kelly was placed on suicide watch at the federal detention facility after being convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking.
His attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, told Fox News Digital at the time that he “was placed on suicide watch for purely punitive reasons in violation of his Eighth Amendment rights.”
A few days later, Kelly was taken off of suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after being sentenced to 30 years in prison and ordered to pay a $100,000 fine on June 29, 2022.
Within the same month, Maxwell, who was convicted of helping ex-lover Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse girls, was placed on suicide watch just days before her sentencing hearing, despite not being suicidal, her attorneys announced in June 2022.
The attorneys, who complained about Maxwell’s detainment before, contended that their client was “not suicidal.”
“Ms. Maxwell was abruptly removed from general population and returned to solitary confinement, this time without any clothing, toothpaste, soap, legal papers, etc. She was provided a ‘suicide smock’ and is given a few sheets of toilet paper on request,” they continued in the letter. “A psychologist evaluated Ms. Maxwell and determined she is not suicidal.”

I’m convinced all men cheat – Rapper Sexyy Red
American rapper, Sexyy Red, has said marriage is just “ceremonial” because of men’s cheating nature.
The ‘Rich Baby Daddy’ crooner said she would get married but would never trust her partner.
She said she is convinced that all men cheat.
Speaking in a recent interview with Angel Reese, Red said, “I’m going to get married but I think that marriage is fake. I think all men cheat.
“Even if I’m not dating, I know that men cheat. That’s why I got no hope. I’ve never met a man who doesn’t cheat.
“Even if a man tells me he won’t cheat on me, I won’t believe it. We can get married but at the end of the day, it’s just a ceremony. I don’t have faith in men.”

‘I didn’t break up with him’ – Tiwa Savage speaks about divorce from TeeBillz
Nigerian songstress Tiwa Savage has finally spoken about her divorce from her ex-husband, Tunji Balogun, popularly known as TeeBillz.
DAILY POST reports that TeeBillz announced their divorce in 2018 on social media.
However, speaking in an interview with The Receipts Podcast, Tiwa Savage accused TeeBillz of being responsible for the divorce, stating that she didn’t break up with him.
She explained that TeeBillz made the announcement while she was still struggling with postpartum after the birth of their son.
She said: “The way our situation happened, he announced it online. I did not break up with him, but I was the one being attacked.
“My baby was just a few months old at that time. My body wasn’t the same because I was dealing with postpartum and depression. Only a few people came to see me. Everyone went to him.
“It got worse after I did an interview to tell my side of the story. People were like, ‘How dare you go and talk? You are a woman, and you are supposed to build the house. It’s your fault.’
“It was very heartbreaking how the public blamed me. Ever since then, I was like, ‘I won’t ever talk about the situation.’ It was an eye-opener for me. It made me depressed and angry for so long. Then I became the ‘African Bad Girl.’ I started getting tattoos and wearing bikinis and short skirts.”
