A close associate of Diddy, Charlucci Finney, said the rapper was nearly stabbed while sleeping at MDC Brooklyn. Finney told reporters that Diddy woke up with a weapon at his neck, just seconds from serious injury or death. It remains unclear whether guards intervened or if Diddy defended himself, but sources confirmed the incident occurred. The attack appears to have been an attempt to intimidate him in the high-security jail.
Finney noted that prison is especially dangerous for those convicted in cases tied to sex crimes. During sentencing, Diddy’s lawyer, Brian Steel, stated that a guard stopped the attacker before further harm happened. Diddy received a 50-month sentence after being convicted of violating the Mann Act, though a jury cleared him of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. His legal team has filed an appeal.
