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

Diddy has been held in custody ever since as Agnifilo and his team of lawyers fight to get him out. But, two judges denied Diddy’s requests for bail, siding with federal prosecutors who say the Bad Boy Entertainment CEO tampered with witnesses in the case while posing a danger to the community.
As for Brooklyn’s MDC … it’s considered a notorious jail with prisoners living in sickening conditions. At the 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.
