"Fighting for the opportunity to make his bed": Toure claims inmates fight over doing "nice things" for Diddy in prison
Journalist and author Toure took to TikTok recently to allege that Sean “Diddy” Combs’ fellow prisoners were fighting to take care of the rapper in the prison dormitories, where the singer is allegedly residing. This comes after prosecutors alleged that the Bad Boy Records mogul broke jail rules. The singer will remain behind bars until his trial date, May 5, 2025.
Toure has been one of Diddy’s biggest critics, alleging in the past that a family member quit working for the musician after he asked her to spend the night with him. In his latest allegations, Toure claimed that those in prison are doing their best to please Combs. Toure said:
“Some of the men locked up with Diddy are fighting for the opportunity to make his bed. What? According to someone who is in the unit that Diddy is in not long ago there are like groupies among the inmates who want to do special things for Diddy and might even get jealous of another man who gets to make his bed or do other special, nice things for Diddy.”
Toure then alleged that Combs was in a dorm with about 20 other people, involved in high-profile cases. The former also claimed that the rapper wants everyone in the dorm to “keep their spirits up.” Toure added:
“He [Diddy] goes around to people and says- ‘smile.’ And he looks you right in the eye and tries to make you happy”
Diddy’s lawyers slam recent jail cell raid where rapper had his belongings seized
As the claims continue to garner views online, reports of Combs' jail cell being raided made headlines online. Federal prosecutors accused the rapper of breaking jail rules in an attempt to manipulate witness testimony and taint the potential jury pool in his case.
The rapper remains in custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center as he faces s*x trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and pr*stitution charges. Prosecutors alleged that Combs paid fellow inmates to use their telephone accounts to contact people who were not on his approved contact list, which goes against federal prison regulations.
NBC News reported that after a thorough review of the calls made by Combs, it was found that he had instructed his family to contact witnesses and potential victims involved in his case. It was also reported that prosecutors said in a recent court hearing that Combs was trying to build a narrative on social media to influence the potential jury pool. A court filing read:
“At the defendant’s carefully curated direction, the defendant’s children posted a video to their respective social media accounts showing the defendant’s children gathered to celebrate the defendant’s birthday.”
Several personal effects and paperwork that were with Combs in his jail cell were also seized by authorities.
In response, Combs’ defense lawyers said that the government was engaging in “outrageous government conduct.” However, prosecutors claimed the raid was a jail-wide safety-related sweep unrelated to Combs’ prosecution.
Judge Subramanian has since scheduled an “immediate hearing” to discuss matters further.
Meanwhile, Combs' attorneys have also requested a new bail hearing, despite being rejected multiple times already.
