Sean 'Diddy' Combs, currently detained at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Centre, continues to refuse his meals as he awaits his trial set for May 2025. In a recent episode of The DailyMail's podcast, The Trial of Diddy, prison expert Larry Levine discussed the facility's troubling history of inmate violence and fatalities, which has reportedly heightened the mogul's concerns for his safety. Sources indicate that his refusal to eat may stem from ongoing paranoia. Additionally, he is anticipated to experience a particularly grim Christmas in custody this year.

Expert dives into the reason for Diddy’s frail appearance

On the podcast, Levine remarked, "Upon his arrival, it is not uncommon to experience a period of adjustment and depression. The uncertainty of the situation can be overwhelming. Diddy has significant influence over many individuals, and there are those who may wish him harm."

He further elaborated, "Consider the possibility that someone outside the prison could have connections within the facility and might tamper with his food. A gradual poisoning could lead to an early demise for Mr. Puff Daddy. This fear of food being poisoned or contaminated could be another reason for his refusal to eat," as reported by DailyMail.

During a recent court appearance, observers noted that the once-prominent music mogul appeared "astonishingly thinner" and "greyer" after spending three months in incarceration.

Expert reveals Diddy will have a lonely Christmas in jail

An expert has indicated that Diddy is likely to experience a solitary Christmas while incarcerated. Levine, a former inmate and the founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants, disclosed that the owner of Bad Boy Records will be confined to the Special Housing Unit, commonly referred to as the SHU. During a podcast discussion, he mentioned that inmates receive "Christmas or holiday sacks" filled with items such as cookies, potato chips, and candy; however, the contents of these bags have diminished in size over the years.

Levine elaborated that if Combs remains in the SHU, his access to food will be severely restricted, limited to what is available on the MDC commissary list. He characterized the holiday sack as a "plastic bag resembling a large pillow," noting that its size has decreased over time.

He further remarked, "The contents are subpar, likely sourced from expired stock, as the prison system often sells outdated items. They attempt to present it as a gesture of goodwill towards the inmates. While he may receive something, aside from this lackluster holiday bag, there is little else he can expect."

Additionally, Levine pointed out that during the holiday period, court proceedings typically slow down, resulting in inmates at the MDC not being transported to court as frequently. Consequently, many prisoners are left to endure prolonged periods in their cramped, isolated cells, which can lead to heightened feelings of depression and frustration.

The prison expert stated, "Prosecutors are on vacation. Judges are on vacation. Your lawyer is spending time with their family and is unlikely to communicate with you. Thus, you find yourself isolated in a standard institution during the holiday season."

He noted that certain inmates are permitted visits from their family members, which can heighten tensions within the facility. Levine remarked, “The influx of visitors necessitates restrictions on the duration of visits in the visiting area. Consequently, a two-hour visit that one might typically expect could be reduced to just 30 minutes.” He further elaborated, “This situation generates significant tension among the inmates, and based on my decade of experience across 11 different facilities, I have observed that the frequency of altercations tends to increase during the holiday season more than at any other time. Holidays are particularly problematic!”
