A spokesperson for the hip-hop legend told the media outlet, “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.” An insider told NBC News that the move to put Diddy on suicide watch was “procedural with high-profile clients.” Sources told People that the move was said to be a preventative measure. A similar process was followed during the arrest and prosecution of now-deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Diddy was arrested in Manhattan on September 16, after which federal prosecutors released the basis of their case against him. The papers accuse the rapper of running a criminal enterprise based on “his extensive pattern of abuse toward women.” The Bad Boy Records owner was also denied bail, for which he offered $50 million versus the average $2 million, on September 17. The next step in the process is for Diddy to attend a pretrial conference, where he will appear before Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr., who will oversee the trial.

Lawsuit against Diddy

Diddy first made headlines when his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against him in November last year accusing him of sexual assault and abuse. A video also surfaced on the internet in 2016 where Ventura, formerly known as P. Diddy, was seen abusing her at a hotel, proving the latter’s allegations to be true. The case was soon settled but several other women filed similar complaints against the mogul. Before his arrest, eight lawsuits were filed against Diddy.

During the criminal investigation, Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by Homeland Security, where over a thousand bottles of alcohol, AR-15s, narcotics, and a supply of freak offs were confiscated from his homes.
