Diddy has been in police custody since September 16 and his lawyer has been sharing insights into the rapper's time behind bars.
Diddy, real name Sean Combs, was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan last month and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion - allegations he has denied.
The 54-year-old has had his bail denied twice and could remain in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center until next year as the judge set his trial for May 5, 2025.

Outside the courthouse on October 10, Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, opened up about the 'roughest part' of the situation for the music producer right now.
He told reporters: “I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it.”
The New York Post previously reported that Comb’s first meal was behind bars was a choice of Swedish meatballs or a black bean burger, per MDC Brooklyn’s food menu. It's said he also had the option of egg noodles, green beans and a garden salad with dressing as side dishes.

Following his arrest there has also been questions about Diddy’s mental state and rumors that the star was put on a suicide watchlist.
Agnifilo has since been interviewed in The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, a new TMZ documentary that touches on recent events involving the hip hop mogul.
During one clip, the lawyer spoke about Diddy's state of mind, amid recent speculation.

He said: "His state of mind is actually remarkable positive. I spend several hours with him every day... His resolve is strong. He’s engaged.
"He’s focused on his defence... he [has] come to terms with the fact that this is where he is for now."
Earlier this week Diddy's mother, Janice Combs, released a statement through attorney Natlie G. Figgers.
Obtained by The Hollywood Reporter on October 6, she said: “My son is not the monster they have painted him to be, and he deserves the chance to tell his side.

“It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies.
“To bear witness [to] what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”
