Sean “Diddy” Combs, a music mogul, has been placed on a “procedural” suicide watch by jailers as he awaits trial on three felony counts related to allegations of sex trafficking and abuse spanning over a decade. He has been in federal custody in New York City since Monday night, with guards closely monitoring him for any signs of self-harm. Despite the situation, a source says Combs remains strong and focused on his defense. The judge denied his appeal for bail, but his defense lawyers are exploring further avenues to secure his release before the trial. Combs, 54, is facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution activities dating back to 2008. This story is still developing, and updates are forthcoming.
