ALBAWABA - Sean 'Diddy' Combs recently made headlines after a former inmate revealed how the American rapper is being treated in jail despite his wealth and status. He is currently facing prison time over sex trafficking and more than 120 cases of sexual assault.
The 54-year-old was denied bail by a judge after being arrested in New York City on Sept. 2024 and is awaiting his next trial in the US Federal Prison. Due to recent news about Diddy allegedly not eating properly in fear of being poisoned, many users on social media speculated about his life in prison.
Former inmate and 'Married At First Sight' contestant, Timothy Smith who spent one year in Federal prison before being deported to Australia revealed that Combs' prison conditions are "Grim," according to The Daily Mail.
Smith said that Diddy is not receiving any "Special treatment" in jail despite his wealth and status. He told the Daily Mail further that "His money and wealth won't get him any benefits."

Moreover, Timothy Smith said that Diddy is being held in the "management unit," which doesn't offer access to other fellow inmates putting him in a safer place. He added that in Federal Prison inmates only get 300 minutes a month for phone calls making it difficult to stay in contact with the outside world.
Smith also shared his experience where he said that prisoners barely get access to TVs and even radios. He added that he would only get access to one book and the Bible once a week.
He brought up that even if Diddy was in the "general population" unit, he would only get access to one TV with more than 100 people piled up on it. There are several TVs but are all segregated by race, Smith said.
He ended it by giving Diddy advice to not negotiate and accept where he is. He said, "If you think you're going to beat them, they will break you down."
The American rapper was arrested at a Manhattan hotel amid serious federal charges, with his lawyer addressing the situation and defending his client's mental state. This all came after the American rapper received a sexual assault lawsuit and a federal investigation after a grand jury indicted him.
Combs was arrested Monday night at Park Hyatt Hotel by local police at around 8:30 PM where he will be held and then released for a court hearing.
Moreover, his lawyer suspected that the rapper was arrested over racketeering and sex trafficking, as reported by The New York Times.
