Sean Combs reportedly stopped eating in jail due to fears that someone may poison his food. NewsNation spoke with a former federal inmate who has an inside source at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY, where Combs is being held without bail.
Combs was arrested on September 16 on sex trafficking and prostitution conspiracy charges. He is on suicide watch in a Special Housing Unit reserved for VIP inmates.
Combs was twice denied bond by 2 different federal judges last week. Combs’ legal team promised the judges that he would not entertain women at his Star Island home in Miami. He also would be under 24/7 surveillance and he would have no access to a cell phone or the Internet.
But both judges said Combs is a flight risk and a danger to the community.
Larry Levine, founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants, told NewsNation host Ashley Banfield that he has an “inside source” at the MDC jail.
Levine said Combs has stopped eating because he fears someone will poison his food.

Levine made the claim after incarcerated music exec Suge Knight warned Combs that his life is in danger.
“I’ll tell you what, Puffy: Your life is in danger ’cause you know the secrets, who’s involved in that little secret room you guys are participating in,” Knight allegedly said in an episode of his “Collect Call” podcast.
Knight hosts his podcast from a California state prison where he’s serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter.
Knight warned Combs, “they gonna get you if they can.”
Former MDC jail warden Cameron Lindsay also warned that Combs’ life is in danger.
Lindsay told TMZ that some of the more violent inmates would kill Combs as a “badge of honor.”
Even though Combs is isolated from the general population, Lindsay says they can still get to him by poisoning his food.
Lindsay said Combs’s meals will not be fresh because his jail cell is a long distance from the kitchen where it is prepared and placed in a warming box.
Jail guards deliver the warming box to Combs’s cell, but the food may still be cold due to the distance they have to walk.
The MDC jail is notorious for its violence, murders and suicides. It was previously home to singer R. Kelly, Ghislaine Maxwell and former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.
The late financier Jeffrey Epstein took his own life at a different MDC jail in Manhattan on August 10, 2019.
