Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, currently held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, has sparked fresh controversy by refusing jail meals, citing fears of poisoning.

This surprising development comes as the 55-year-old faces a cascade of severe allegations, including prostitution-related felonies, human trafficking, and racketeering, alongside a mounting pile of civil lawsuits.
Reports reveals that Diddy’s refusal to eat regular meals stems from growing concerns about potential contamination.
Former inmate and prison consultant Larry Levine, speaking on The Trial of Diddy podcast, expressed fears that Diddy’s high-profile status and powerful enemies could lead to tampering with his food.
Instead, the rapper is said to be surviving on commissary snacks such as chips and honey buns—a diet that is raising eyebrows and fuelling concerns about his wellbeing.
Health Concerns Take Centre Stage
Observers have noted that Diddy appears alarmingly thinner and visibly aged in his court appearances. After three months in MDC—a facility infamous for its harsh conditions and history of inmate deaths—the music legend’s apparent paranoia and refusal to eat facility-provided meals have only added to concerns about his health.
Despite his frail appearance, sources close to the rapper insist that he remains mentally sharp and focused on his legal battle.
However, the gravity of MDC’s dangerous environment has likely amplified his fears, with the facility’s reputation for violence and inadequate inmate safety further justifying his apprehension.
Legal Troubles Deepen
Diddy’s woes extend far beyond his dietary choices. In addition to the criminal charges he faces, his former girlfriend, singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, has filed a federal lawsuit accusing him of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and gender-based violence. Ventura alleges that Diddy used manipulation, abuse, and threats to force victims into submission under the guise of intimate relationships.
With his bail denied for the third time, Diddy is set to remain behind bars during the festive season, awaiting his trial scheduled for May 5, 2025.
As his legal team fights to combat the charges, the music mogul’s physical and emotional state continues to dominate headlines.
