Diddy Held in Jail Notorious for ‘Brutal’ & ‘Inhumane’ Conditions With El Mayo Zambada and ‘El Nini’ as Cellmates

Sean “Diddy” Combs is being held at a federal jail notorious for its cruel and harsh conditions following his arrest in New York City Monday night. His neighbors aren’t any better.

The same jail in New York City is the current home of Sinaloa Cartel co-founder Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s strongman Néstor Pérez “El Nini,” and Mexico’s former drug Zar Genaro García Luna.

After a federal judge denied bail for the hip-hop mogul on Tuesday, Diddy, 54, was sent to Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, TMZ reported. The jail is known for its allegedly “brutal” and “inhumane” conditions, which federal judges have pointed out in the past.

In June, an inmate was stabbed to death in a fight with another prisoner at the facility.

Last night, García Luna, a former Mexican Security Secretary, published a letter from the same facility, denoting mistreatment and abuse. However, a law enforcement official told CNN that Combs will not share a cell with anyone while being held at the special housing unit in MDC.

The Brooklyn federal jail has been El Mayo’s new home since he appeared in front of a judge in a New York City court and pleaded not guilty to 17 charges in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. El Nini has been there since May, while García Luna was transported there in 2020.

Inmates like Combs who need additional protection are typically housed in this unit, which is not accessible to the general prison population.

Other high-profile inmates who were held in MDC while awaiting trial included Ghislaine Maxwell, Sam Bankman-Fried, R. Kelly, Fetty Wap and Michael Cohen.

What’s next for Diddy?

Combs will remain at the troubled federal jail until his next court appearance Wednesday afternoon.

His defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, is set to appeal the decision to hold the rapper without bail.

Diddy faces charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. According to his indictment, Diddy is accused of “creating a criminal enterprise” through his business empire.

Diddy and his associates allegedly engaged in “sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice,” the indictment stated.

Prosecutors asked the judge in the case to deny Diddy bail due to fears that he will intimidate witnesses and victims and obstruct the case.
