American rapper and music executive Sean Combs, also known as Diddy, has reportedly been removed from suicide watch.
Diddy was initially placed on suicide watch after his arrest on September 16 by Homeland Security, facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and interstate transportation for prostitution.
In an article published on September 29, People reported that a law enforcement source exclusively told the news outlet that the rapper was no longer on suicide watch.
Another source also revealed that Diddy 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. He is concentrating on his defence and preparing for his trial,” People quoted Diddy’s lawyer as saying.
Federal officers seized supplies that they say were intended for use in orgies known as “freak offs”, including drugs and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil during the raiding of Diddy’s Beverly Hills mansion in March.
The rapper’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, suggested in a TMZ Studios documentary, ‘The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment’, that his client had 1,000 bottles of baby oil because he buys them in bulk from Costco, which the company denied.
Diddy has denied all the charges, entering a not-guilty plea on Tuesday, 17 September.
However, the Bad Boy Records’ boss’ bail request was rejected twice.
