Now a friend of Diddy's is claiming his life is in danger after an inmate put a knife to Diddy's throat...

From The Daily Mail

A knife-wielding con got close enough to Diddy to press a makeshift blade to his throat, the rapper's best friend has exclusively told Daily Mail.

Lifelong pal Charlucci Finney claims an inmate armed with a shiv snuck into Diddy's New York jail cell and could have murdered the shamed hip hop mogul in his sleep.

'He woke up with a knife to his throat,' said Finney, revealing previously unreported details of the chilling close call inside the notoriously violent Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

'I don't know whether he fought him off or the guards came, I just know that it happened.'

Finney, who has known Diddy – real name Sean Combs, 55 – for more than three decades, believes the brush with death was a warning rather than a genuine murder attempt.

'If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed. It would only take a second to cut his throat with a weapon and kill him,' he said.

'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.'

'Sean has kept a lot of this stuff to himself because he doesn't want to worry his family. But if you're in jail and you've been charged with anything sixual it's not a good place to be,' Finney said.

'The prisoners take it personal. They look at it like, it could have been my mom, my auntie, my daughter. They try to get what they call prison justice.

'And you have to understand, we are not talking about a regular person. We're talking about Diddy.'
