Sean “Diddy” Combs reportedly faced a terrifying incident while in prison, where he was found with a knife pressed against his throat by another inmate. The music mogul’s lifelong friend, Charlucci Finney, claimed that a fellow prisoner had a makeshift blade and could have killed the 55-year-old during the encounter.
Finney stated that Combs was just seconds away from serious harm or even death inside the notoriously violent BrowBrowpolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. “If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed. It would only take a second to cut his throat with a weapon and kill him,” he told the Daily Mail.
He added, “It was probably a way to say: ‘Next time you ain’t gonna be so lucky.’ Everything is intimidation. But with Sean it won’t work. Sean is from Harlem.”
This incident comes after Combs was sentenced to four years and two months in jail following his sex trafficking trial. He also received a $500,000 fine. The rapper was accused of running a sex trafficking operation and was convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution involving his former girlfriend, singer Ventura, and another woman known as Jane, who testified during the trial.
In July, Combs was found not guilty of the most serious charge of racketeering conspiracy, as well as two charges of sex trafficking related to Ventura and Jane. Despite this, the music mogul denied all allegations against him.
Before his sentencing, Judge Subramanian rejected Combs’ legal team’s request for a new trial or acquittal. The judge ruled that the government presented overwhelming evidence of Combs’ guilt during the trial. “The government proved its case many times over. That by itself might be enough to dispose of Combs’s challenge,” he wrote in the document.
“Had the prejudice indeed been so great, one would expect a jury to convict on the most relevant counts before it could spill over and infect the others. A new trial is not warranted.”
Ventura, who was a key witness during the trial, submitted a victim impact statement revealing her fears about retaliation if Combs were to be released. She said she had moved out of the New York area due to concerns about her safety.
“I am so scared that if he walks free, his first actions will be swift retribution towards me and others who spoke up about his abuse at trial,” the singer said. “As much progress as I have made in recovering from his abuse, I remain very much afraid of what he is capable of and the malice he undoubtedly harbours towards me for having the bravery to tell the truth.”
