Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs (55) is having the worst time of his life at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (BMDC). However, it is not because of the food or the facilities. He’s reportedly angry because Luigi Mangione (26), who’s also currently serving time at BMDC, is now getting more attention than he is.

According to the Daily Mail, a source confirmed, “Diddy has been throwing tantrums over the fact that Luigi is getting all of the attention in prison and is being revered as a hero after literally murdering someone on camera.”

Diddy claims the real reason he’s upset is because he’s “innocent” of sex trafficking, yet he’s getting so much hate inside the prison. Whereas Luigi allegedly killed a man, but they love him.

“Even in prison, Diddy’s ego is bigger than life,” the source added.

However, to fully grasp why they love him, you need to understand the healthcare system in the US, which is why a majority of inmates and the public see Luigi as a hero.

'Not to mention the fact that the prison, itself, faces constant allegations of inadequate healthcare to those who are locked up,' the source told the Daily Mail.

It seems the inmates resonate with Luigi’s reasons for doing what he’s accused of. So, he kind of is a hero—in their eyes. Nobody likes a guy who allegedly violates the rights of other human beings for his own personal satisfaction.

Also, one crazy detail in this entire scenario is that Diddy and Luigi have the same legal team. Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, is the husband of Luigi’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo. Despite this, they haven’t actually crossed paths.

Diddy is simply hating on Luigi from the shadows because he isn’t getting attention from all the boys in the yard, according to observers.

It’s clear we can expect a whole lot more drama from Diddy this year. Aside from his upcoming trial, it seems Luigi’s presence at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Centre has Sean on the edge.
