Diddy Finds a Familiar Face Behind Bars: Spotted With Former NBA Star Sebastian Telfair

Sean “Diddy” Combs has already crossed paths with a recognizable figure while serving time at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. The music mogul, nearly four months into his four-year sentence for transporting individuals for prostitution, was recently seen spending time with ex-NBA player Sebastian Telfair in the prison yard. The two now rank among the most high-profile inmates currently held at the facility.

Diddy reportedly attacked in prison after inmate held a knife to his throat.

One of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ close friends has spoken out about a frightening incident inside MDC Brooklyn, where the music mogul is currently serving time.

According to Charlucci Finney, Diddy woke up one night to find a knife pressed against his throat — a moment that could easily have ended in tragedy. Finney told Daily Mail that he isn’t sure whether guards intervened or if Diddy managed to fend off the attacker himself, but confirmed it was a very close call.

Sources familiar with the situation also verified the account to TMZ, describing it as a targeted intimidation attempt against Diddy. Finney said he believes the motive was to scare him, adding that prison is especially dangerous for inmates with sex-related convictions.

During Diddy’s sentencing, his lawyer Brian Steel mentioned the same incident, stating that a guard stopped the inmate before any serious harm was done.

Diddy is currently serving a 50-month federal prison sentence after being convicted on two counts of violating the Mann Act, which involves the transportation of individuals across state lines for unlawful purposes. He was, however, acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

Meanwhile, reports claim that former U.S. President Donald Trump is considering pardoning Diddy — though the White House Communications Office has denied those claims, TMZ insists their sources stand by the story.

Prison consultant Sam Mangel, who spoke on TMZ Live, said Diddy’s next prison is expected to be less violent than MDC Brooklyn. Still, he warned that incidents like this show why the rapper must remain alert.

For now, Diddy’s safety remains a concern among his inner circle, with Finney describing the experience as “terrifying” and a stark reminder of how quickly things can turn inside prison walls.

Sean “Diddy” Combs Sentenced to 50 Months in prison, Files Appeal Immediately.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been sentenced to four years (50 months) in federal prison after being convicted on two counts of transporting women for prostitution under the Mann Act. With 12 months already served, he will get credit toward his term, and his lawyers say he will appeal.

Prosecutors pushed for over 11 years, with Christy Slavik arguing Combs “has not admitted his guilt” or “accepted responsibility,” calling his conduct “flatly inconsistent with reality” and labeling his Miami booking “the height of hubris.”

His defense pleaded for leniency. Nicole Westmoreland called him an “inspiration” who taught inmates business skills, insisting “Mr. Combs can reach so many more on the outside.” All six of his children testified, with son Christian saying, “He’s my hero … he’s still my superhero,” and daughter Chance adding tearfully, “We need our father. We cannot watch our baby sister grow up fatherless.”

Lawyer Brian Steel blamed Combs’ past violence on “untreated trauma” and a “ferocious drug addiction,” saying he had been high “every single day” from 2000 until 2024. He described harsh jail conditions, including a shank attack Combs narrowly survived.

On the eve of sentencing, Combs apologized in a letter for “the hurt and pain that I have caused others” and vowed “to never commit a crime again,” saying prison had “humbled and broken” him.

Star witness Cassie Ventura also wrote the judge, admitting she still suffers nightmares. Her lawyer hailed her “exemplary courage,” saying she “left an indelible mark on the fight for justice.”

Though acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have meant life, Combs will still serve years behind bars.

Diddy Pleads for Mercy, Blames Past on Drugs Ahead of Sentencing.

Rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has begged a U.S. judge for leniency ahead of his sentencing on Friday, saying his violent past was fuelled by drug addiction and insisting he has changed after 13 months in jail.

In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs apologised “for all of the hurt and pain that I have caused” and admitted: “I literally lost my mind. I’m sorry for that and always will be. My domestic violence will always be a heavy burden that I will have to forever carry.”

He also apologised to another woman, “Jane,” who testified against him, saying he had been “lost in the drugs and the excess. I lost my way. My downfall was rooted in my selfishness. I have been humbled and broken to my core.”

The 54-year-old, convicted in July of two prostitution charges, faces up to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors want at least 11 years, while his lawyers are pushing for his release this month.

Combs argued that “the old me died in jail and new version of me was reborn,” adding he is now sober “for the first time in 25 years” and teaches fellow inmates about business.

But his accusers urged a long sentence, with singer Cassie Ventura warning: “I am so scared that if he walks free, his first actions will be swift retribution towards me and others who spoke up. He has no interest in changing or becoming better. He will always be the same cruel, power-hungry, manipulative man that he is.”

Prosecutors echoed that view, writing: “The defendant tries to recast decades of abuse as simply the function of mutually toxic relationships. But there is nothing mutual about a relationship where one person holds all the power and the other ends up bloodied and bruised.”

Cassie Tells Judge She Still Has “Nightmares” About Diddy Ahead of His Sentencing

Singer Cassie has written a powerful letter to a federal judge, urging a tough sentence for Sean “Diddy” Combs, ahead of his October 3 sentencing.

In the emotional letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, Cassie revealed that she continues to suffer from trauma, nightmares, and flashbacks from her 11-year relationship with the hip-hop mogul, who was convicted on two counts under the Mann Act.

Cassie accused Diddy of grooming, manipulation, and violence—alleging he forced her into repeated coercive s3x acts with male escorts, controlled her through threats and drugs, and subjected her to a cycle of fear.

She also recalled the 2016 hotel beating captured on surveillance footage, describing how she lived in constant terror, anticipating abuse.

Today, Cassie says she still requires psychological care, has relocated her family for safety, and fears retaliation if Diddy is freed.

“I’m so scared that if Diddy walks free, his first actions will be swift retribution towards me and others who spoke up,” she wrote.

Judge Subramanian will deliver the sentencing on Friday, October 3.

Trump Says Pardon for Diddy Harder Because He Was Hostile During Campaign.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump says he sees Sean “Diddy” Combs as “sort of half-innocent” despite the music mogul’s recent conviction—but suggested that granting him a pardon is complicated by the rapper’s past public criticisms.

Speaking on Newsmax Friday night, Trump addressed Combs’ July 2 federal conviction on two counts of transporting individuals to engage in pr+stit¥tion—charges that carry up to 10 years each. Combs was, however, acquitted of more severe s+x tr+fficking and rack£teering conspiracy charges.

“He was essentially, I guess, sort of half-innocent,” Trump told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty. “He was celebrating a victory, but I guess it wasn’t as good of a victory.” Reports have circulated that Trump, known for issuing high-profile pardons—often to political allies—has considered pardoning Combs, once a former acquaintance and fellow public figure.

But Combs’ past remarks about Trump appear to be a sticking point. “When I ran for office, he was very hostile,” Trump said. “It’s hard, you know? We’re human beings.

And we don’t like to have things cloud our judgment… but he made some t+rrible statements.” In 2017, Combs told The Daily Beast he didn’t “really give a f*** about Trump.” By 2020, during Trump’s failed re-election bid, the Bad Boy Records boss called for Trump to be “b+nished,” telling Charlamagne tha God that “white men like Trump” were the problem.

“The number one priority is to get Trump out of office,” he said at the time. Trump referenced those sentiments in his Friday comments, saying: “So I don’t know… It makes it more difficult to do.” Combs is currently housed at New York’s only federal detention center and has requested release on a $50 million bond ahead of his October 3 sentencing.

Diddy Enters Therapy for Drug Use, Domestic Violence Ahead of Sentencing

Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has entered therapy for substance abuse and domestic violence as he awaits sentencing following multiple federal investigations.

According to TMZ, Combs checked into a private facility in Arizona, where he is receiving treatment as part of the Dr. Harry K. Wexler drug abuse program. Sources say the move is voluntary and aimed at personal accountability rather than image repair.

“It’s not about salvaging a brand,” a source told Rolling Stone. “He’s trying to confront issues he’s suppressed for years.”

Earlier this month, a jury found Combs guilty on two of five federal charges:

Not guilty of racketeering conspiracy

Not guilty of sex trafficking related to Cassie Ventura

Guilty of transporting Ventura for prostitution

Not guilty of sex trafficking related to a woman identified as "Jane"

Guilty of transporting "Jane" for prostitution

Each conviction carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Combs is expected to remain in therapy through the summer, with sentencing set for October 3.

Diddy Found Guilty of Pr+stit¥tion-Related Charge, Cleared of S+x Tr+fficking.

Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been found guilty of transportation for pr+stit¥tion by a New York jury but cleared of more serious charges including s+x tr+fficking and racketeering conspiracy.

The 55-year-old hip-hop star faced allegations from three women — including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura — of ab¥se, coercion, k+dnapping, bl+ckmail, and arson. Jurors convicted him only on the charge of transporting individuals across state lines for pr+stit¥tion, which could carry a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

He was cleared of charges that carried a potential life sentence. Combs was accused of flying Cassie and another woman, known as “Jane”, around the U.S. and the Caribbean, while paying male escorts to perform s+x acts during alleged “freak off” nights involving dr+gs and ab¥se.

Though jurors were shown private video footage and testimony from escorts, hotel staff, and police, they ultimately concluded that while Combs was guilty of enabling pr+stit¥tion, the evidence fell short of s+x tr+fficking.

The courtroom erupted in mixed emotion following the verdict.

Diddy’s family cheered the not guilty decisions on the most serious charges, while he responded with a prayer gesture and hugged his lawyer. Cassie’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, praised her courage: “Cassie has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry and the f+ght for justice.”

Cassie, who testified just weeks before giving birth, was commended for her strength during the seven-week trial. Combs’ legal team admitted he had a temper, used dr¥gs, and led a promiscuous lifestyle, but insisted all activities were consensual. The case stemmed from a 2023 lawsuit filed by Cassie, settled within 24 hours for $20 million.

Months later, disturbing hotel footage emerged showing Combs a§§aulting her in 2016. He publicly apologized, calling his actions “disg§¥sting.” Once one of hip-hop’s biggest names, Diddy now awaits sentencing and still faces multiple civil lawsuits stemming from similar allegations.

As of May 28, 2025, Nigerian-American artist Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, remains embroiled in legal challenges stemming from his public feud with fellow musician Burna Boy.

Speed Darlington was arrested on November 27, 2024, during a performance in Owerri, Imo State, on allegations of defamation and cyberstalking related to his diss track "Baby Oil." The song, released in October 2024, satirically addressed Burna Boy's association with American rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was facing legal issues at the time.

Despite a Federal High Court ruling on December 23, 2024, ordering his release within 48 hours or arraignment, the police did not comply, leading to public outcry and further legal actions. On January 6, 2025, the court reiterated its directive for his immediate release, citing violations of his fundamental rights.

Following his release, Speed Darlington filed a ₦300 million lawsuit against the Inspector General of Police for unlawful detention. He has since resumed his music career, with "Baby Oil" gaining significant attention on streaming platforms.


The situation highlights ongoing concerns about freedom of expression and the enforcement of legal rights in Nigeria's entertainment industry.
