It seems that Diddy, once known for his lavish lifestyle, appeared quite changed at his recent court hearing on Wednesday.
The well-known rapper is currently facing serious charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
As a result, he is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in Brooklyn, awaiting his trial set for the spring.
When Diddy appeared for his court hearing on December 18, those present noted that he looked “astonishingly” different from his former self.
“It’s quite a shift from the opulent life he used to lead. He appeared quite a bit thinner, almost as if his time in detention is beginning to show its toll,” remarked observers. “He also seemed to have a bit more gray hair,” they added.
While cameras weren’t allowed inside the courtroom, a source close to Diddy countered these observations, asserting that he is still “fit, healthy, and concentrating fully on his defense.” They went on to say, “He’s been staying active, remaining in good spirits, and was particularly delighted to see his children.”
Upon initially arriving in custody, the 55-year-old was placed on suicide watch. However, this was lifted after just one week, following reassurances from his legal team that he remained “focused and very strong.”
Disturbing details have continued to emerge following Diddy’s arrest, shedding light on unsettling demands he allegedly made of women attending his parties.
It’s come to light that Diddy reportedly enforced a weight limit of 140 pounds for the women invited to his gatherings. Insiders mentioned that he preferred his female guests to be “young and attractive,” dressed in revealing outfits.
An organizer, who claimed to have worked with Diddy during 2004 and 2005, recalled, “We sometimes had to weigh the girls,” adding that, “The girls needed to be young and attractive, so I always kept a scale nearby in case verification was needed.”
According to them, the “magic number” was 140 pounds and exceptions were rare even for taller girls who might weigh a bit more. “No flab, no cellulite,” the source elaborated. “Tattoos and piercings had to be minimal. Short hair was not welcome.”
Regarding the ages of these women, it was apparently a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The organizer noted, “At the time, I was quite young myself. I thought the lack of age verification was due to drinking laws.”
This same organizer mentioned having no knowledge of the sexual expectations placed on these women, stating, “I was never around for the ‘Freak Offs’ and was unaware of any such expectations.”
As for the dress code, the requirement was strict: “No pants. No jeans. No flat shoes,” the source explained. “Each girl had to wear a party dress, ideally very short—just enough to cover their posterior, but not extending below mid-thigh.”
High stilettos were mandatory and non-negotiable, with the source noting, “Every single one had to wear stilettos, with no flexibility on that front.”
A 20-year-old dancer from that time shared a “shady” proposal she received from Diddy. “I didn’t accept,” she said, “but other girls did, and they were usually quite tight-lipped afterward.”
The dancer disclosed that dancers could earn $250 for performing at these events, with an additional $1,000 offered for accompanying Diddy back to his residence.
