Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs has become cellmates with disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, according to several sources.

One of this year’s highest-profile criminals is imprisoned in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where one of last year’s highest-profile criminals is being kept, NBC New York reported, citing people with knowledge of the situation. The special unit is a barracks-style area with about 18-20 inmates sharing a common living area.

The small populace makes it likely that the two will see each other often. The unit houses high-profile defendants and cooperators who require special protection.

This area appears to be more tolerable than the rest of the infamous facility, described by one lawyer of an inmate who died by suicide as a “hell on earth.”

Detainees have said the prison is home to “rampant violence, dreadful conditions, severe staffing shortages, and the widespread smuggling of drugs and other contraband, some of it facilitated by employees.”

A source told People that Diddy was being “treated like any other detainee awaiting trial.”

After a year of high-profile sexual misconduct allegations, the rapper mogul was arrested last week by Department of Homeland Security agents after being indicted by a grand jury for sex trafficking and racketeering.

Bankman-Fried was found guilty of fraud in November 2023, including the looting of customer’s accounts to make risky investments. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison in March.
