Sean “Diddy” Combs is no longer on suícídє watch and has been visited by his family while awaiting trial in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, sources tell .

A law enforcement source says the 54-year-old music mogul — who has been charged with x trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution following his Sept. 16 arrest — is no longer on suícídє watch.

 

 

 

A source also says Combs has visited with family while at the detention facility, where he is currently in custody before his court appearance in early October.

“He is focused and very strong,” a lawyer for Combs tells . “He is concentrating on his defense and preparing for his trial.”

Earlier this month, sources told that Combs had been placed on suícídє watch for preventative measures following his arrest, given that he was in shock and his mental state was unclear. At the time, it was not known if he was suicidal or how long he was on suícídє watch.

 

 

 

suícídє watch is the “supervisory precautions taken for suicidal inmates that require frequent observation,” according to the U.S Department of Justice National Institute of Corrections.

 

 

On Sept. 24, sources also said that Combs and disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried are in custody in the same area of the Brooklyn detention facility, which houses 1,600 inmates. The facility, as previously reported, is known for being dangerous and understaffed.

Combs’ indictment is centered on allegations that he forced victims to have “freak offs,” described by prosecutors as “elaborate and produced x performances” arranged by the mogul. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

 

Per the indictment, women were allegedly forced or coerced into participating with male x workers, sometimes for multiple days, as Combs is accused of using his influences — and drugs such as cocaine, ketamine and oxycodone — to intimidate them to join. The “freak offs” were sometimes captured on camera without the knowledge of victims, per the indictment, which also notes that federal investigators seized three AR-15 rifles and 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant during raids at Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes in March.

 

Following his arrest, Combs’ attorneys had proposed a $50 million bail package, which was denied by a judge, with the denial being upheld on appeal. Combs’ lawyer Marc Agnifilo shared in a recent interview with TMZ that the Bad Boy Records founder wants to testify at his pending federal trial and “is very eager to tell his story.”
