Diddy was placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City… but he’s not suicidal, at least according to his lawyer.
Diddy’s lawyer, Marco Agnifilotells TMZ … the suicide watch directive issued by MDC officials was just a routine measure for “new high-profile inmates.”
Agnifilo noted that he spent 6 hours Thursday with Diddy in federal prison and that the music mogul-turned-criminal defendant was “not suicidal at all.” In fact, Agnifilo says, Diddy was “strong, healthy, confident and focused on his defense.”

Diddy has been held in custody since then, while Agnifilo and his team of lawyers fight to get him out. But, two judges Diddy’s bail requests deniedsupporting federal prosecutors who say the Bad Boy Entertainment CEO tampered with witnesses in the case and at the same time posed a danger to the community.
As for Brooklyn’s MDC… it’s considered a notorious prison with prisoners living in disgusting conditions. At his last bail hearing, Agnifilo asked the court to transfer Diddy to the Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark, New Jersey. The matter is currently under review.
