Diddy Narrowly Escapes Knife Attack in Prison — “He Woke Up With a Knife to His Throat,” Friend Reveals

Hip-hop legend and business mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is said to be enduring one of the toughest chapters of his life, following a near-death encounter inside the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn.
According to multiple reports, the 55-year-old music star narrowly escaped tragedy after allegedly waking up in the middle of the night to find a fellow inmate holding a knife to his throat.
The chilling account was shared by Diddy’s longtime friend, Charlucci Finney, who described the experience as “both horrifying and surreal.” He said, “He woke up with a knife to his throat. I don’t know whether he fought him off or the guards came, but I just know that it happened.”
Finney noted that the attack could easily have ended in disaster. “If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed. It only takes a second to cut someone’s throat. It could have been fatal,” he said grimly.
He further suggested that the incident might have been meant to scare Diddy rather than kill him. “Everything is intimidation. But with Sean, it won’t work. Sean is from Harlem,” Finney remarked, hinting at the rapper’s unshakable toughness.
This revelation adds to growing concerns about Diddy’s safety in custody. His lawyer, Brian Steel, had earlier revealed that prison guards once intercepted another inmate carrying a razor blade, preventing a potential attack.
Finney disclosed that the hip-hop mogul has chosen to stay silent about most of his prison ordeals, shielding his loved ones from worry. “Sean has kept a lot of this to himself because he doesn’t want to worry his family,” he said.
He also shed light on the dangers inmates accused of sexual misconduct often face, explaining that such individuals are frequently targeted. “If you’re in jail and you’ve been charged with anything sexual, it’s not a good place to be. The prisoners take it personal. They call it prison justice,” Finney explained.
Meanwhile, rumours suggesting that former U.S. President Donald Trump might intervene on Diddy’s behalf have been flatly denied. A White House spokesperson told NBC News, “There is zero truth to the TMZ report.”
As it stands, Diddy remains in custody, serving his 50-month prison sentence, with fans and family members deeply concerned about his safety amid mounting scrutiny surrounding his case.
