Suge Knight believes that Diddy is going through drug withdrawals in jail while awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
He shared his theory during an interview with Chris Cuomo on his NewsNation show, earlier this week. Over the last year, several lawsuits against the Bad Boy mogul have accused him of using cocaine, although he’s denied the allegations.
“Nobody’s stepping up [to defend him] for the fact that you know what’s going on,” Suge began, before saying that regardless, he doesn’t expect him to flip.
“I don’t think nobody is counting him out. I don’t think he’s going to crawl in a corner and die. He’s probably going through a lot of sh*t right now because he probably going through a lot of withdrawals from the drugs. But the industry got him on drugs.”
Diddy’s former lawyer, Mark Geragos, whose daughter is now on his legal team, told NewsNation afterward that the claims are baseless. “There’s no indication in the indictment that any of that is true,” Geragos told the outlet. “I don’t think Suge has any insight into anything that has happened within the last 10 years, other than the usual conspiracy scuttlebutt.”

Authorities arrested Diddy on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, last week while sharing a 14-page federal indictment against him. He’s since pleaded not guilty and continues to maintain his innocence.
He was unable to get approved for bail and will be residing behind bars until his next court appearance.
In other news, amid Diddy’s longwinded legal battle, one of his most vocal critics has been 50 Cent, who has consistently trolled the Bad Boy Records founder online and even began teasing a documentary about his legal woes late last year.
In May, 50 Cent made this a reality and sold the documentary to Netflix. Now, the Alexandria Stapleton-directed doc has been confirmed, and its proceeds will go towards helping victims of sexual assault.
