SEAN “Diddy” Combs is not eating in jail fearing that he will be poisoned as claims emerge he kept tapes of his parties, reports say.
The disgraced rapper is sharing a cell in a New York jail with crypto fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried after his arrest last week.
The music mogul has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
NewsNation reports that a former prisoner in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center said the entertainer may be refusing to eat due to paranoia.
Larry Levine said: “Imagine if someone paid someone off on the inside to poison his food, give him a heart attack and he dies.
“If somebody got to one of the correctional officers, and this could happen. They don’t make a lot of money and there’s people out there that he’s got stuff on that do have a lot of money.”

Levine said that Diddy remained on suicide watch and a has had a religious visit and a meeting with a dietitian since his incarceration.
The former said the rapper could also not be eating because many prisoners don’t like the food when they first arrive.
A former bodyguard has also claimed the accused rapper kept Jeffrey Epstein-style tapes of his ‘Freak Off’ parties.
Diddy is accused of inducing female victims and sex workers into drugged-up, days-long sex parties.
Some women reportedly had to be strapped up to IV drips following the sex sessions to recover, according to prosecutors.
Gene Deal, security for Diddy through the 1990s, told The Art of Dialogue podcast the star learnt from other musicians.
But, the former insider did not name any names around who he was alluding to.
Deal also claimed that video tapes of the Freak Offs would show other celebrities participating in the alleged abuse.
Deal said: “This is all bigger than Diddy” and linked, without evidence, the charges to a slate of corruption allegations in New York.
He said Diddy had himself been a victim of those sorts of parties by industry figures when he was young in the music business.
“Puff wasn’t born a monster, he was made into a monster.
He claimed: “They was heavy into the drugs, they was heavy into beating women, and doing things at that crazy stage that’s going to make him think he can get away with the same things that they was getting away with back then.”
Prosecutors have made no mention of tapes of the abuse being found.
A top celebrity photographer has also claimed Diddy handed out “drugged” shots
Selma Fonseca also said he could be killed by his “enemies” in prison.
Diddy denies the charges and pleaded not guilty in a court appearance last week.
He has been denied bail, with his attorney Marc Agnifilo saying “We are appealing the decision to hold him without bail.
“We’ll fight every day until we don’t have to fight anymore.”
Prosecutors argued that Diddy was a danger to the community and urged the judge to keep him locked up until trial.
“Mr. Combs physically and sexually abused victims for decades,” Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson said in the hearing.
“He used the vast resources of his company to facilitate his abuse and cover up his crimes.
“Simply put, he is a serial abuser and a serial constructor.”
