Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ allegedly woke up to knife on his throat in prison
Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs was allegedly threatened by a prison inmate who put a knife to his throat. His best friend revealed the incident during a recent interview.
Combs is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after being sentenced to four years and two months.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Charlucci Finney opened up about someone allegedly sneaking into Combs’ cell with a weapon.
“He woke up with a knife to his throat,” he explained. “I don’t know whether he fought him off or the guards came, I just know that it happened. If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed. It would only take a second to cut his throat with a weapon and kill him.”
He added, “It was probably a way to say: ‘Next time you ain’t gonna be so lucky.’ Everything is intimidation. But with Sean, it won’t work. Sean is from Harlem.”
Finney claimed that inmates don’t take kindly to sexual charges, suggesting it could be the reason for the threat.
“Sean has kept a lot of this stuff to himself because he doesn’t want to worry his family,” he said. “But if you’re in jail and you’ve been charged with anything sexual, it’s not a good place to be. The prisoners take it personal.”
He continued, “They look at it like, ‘It could have been my mom, my auntie, my daughter.’ They try to get what they call prison justice. And you have to understand, we are not talking about a regular person. We’re talking about Diddy.”
Combs received his sentence on October 3rd after being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
