Sean "Diddy" Combs has been placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in New York City, but according to his lawyer, this is a routine measure and not a sign of suicidal thoughts. According to TMZ Marc Agnifilo, Diddy's attorney, clarified that this precaution is commonly used for high-profile inmates.

Agnifilo, who spent six hours with Diddy, stated that the music mogul is "strong, healthy, confident, and focused on his defense."
Diddy was arrested on Monday in Manhattan following a federal grand jury indictment on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and related crimes.
Despite efforts by his legal team, two judges have denied his bail, citing concerns about witness tampering and potential danger to the community.
Diddy's attorney has also requested his transfer to the Essex County Correctional Facility in New Jersey due to the notoriously harsh conditions at MDC. The court is currently reviewing this request.
