‘Diddy’ forced to use $1 cans of fish in prison as currency as he awaits trial on sex trafficking, ‘Freak-Off’ charges
Sean “Diddy” Combs, the music mogul who once boasted a net worth of $1 billion, is currently residing in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits his upcoming trial on sex trafficking charges. The once-iconic rapper, responsible for numerous chart-topping hits in the 1990s and 2000s, has reportedly resorted to using $1 cans of mackerel as a form of currency within the confines of the jail.
Inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center are allowed to spend up to $180 every two weeks by using funds that can be deposited into their commissary accounts by family and loved ones. Among the items available for purchase are six-packs of Snickers for $5.95 and Cheez-Its for $3.65, in addition to the popular $1 cans of mackerel, also referred to as “macks.”
This stark contrast in lifestyle marks a significant departure from the lavish and extravagant world that Combs once inhabited, where luxury and opulence were synonymous with his brand. Now, the disgraced mogul is navigating the reality of life behind bars, where simple commodities like canned mackerel serve as a form of currency.
As Combs prepares for his upcoming trial, the public eagerly awaits further developments in this ongoing saga. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as it unfolds.
