Sean “Diddy” Combs’ longtime friend Charlucci Finney has claimed that the rapper experienced a terrifying incident while in prison, narrowly escaping what could have been a fatal attack.
According to reports by the Daily Mail on October 22, 2025, Finney alleged that Diddy “woke up with a knife to his throat” while behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, New York.
“I don’t know whether he fought him off or the guards came, I just know that it happened,” Finney said.
According to Finney, the encounter may have been intended to send a message rather than to physically harm the music mogul.
“If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed,” he added. “It would only take a second to cut his throat with a weapon and kill him.”
Intimidation Tactic?
Finney described the incident as part of a broader pattern of intimidation Diddy may be facing since his incarceration.
It was probably a way to say: ‘Next time you ain’t gonna be so lucky.’ Everything is intimidation. But with Sean, it won’t work. Sean is from Harlem.
