American rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in New York, following his recent arrest.
The 54-year-old is currently facing federal charges for sex trafficking and racketeering.
Diddy’s placement on suicide watch is reportedly a preventative measure, commonly applied to high-profile inmates.
His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, assured TMZ that Diddy is not suicidal, describing him as healthy, confident, and focused on his defense.
The length of time Diddy will remain under suicide watch has not been disclosed.
