According to a report from Daily Mail posted today, rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is said to be enraged that fellow inmate Luigi Mangione, the alleged CEO murderer, is receiving more admiration and support than he is at the federal prison. Both men are awaiting trial, but their vastly different reputations behind bars seem to be causing tension.
“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,” a source told Daily Mail.
The 54-year-old music mogul is reportedly frustrated because he believes he is innocent of the sex trafficking allegations he faces. Despite this, Diddy claims he is receiving a significant amount of hate from other inmates.
Mangione, 26, stands accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare’s CEO Brian Thompson, but his actions seem to have garnered sympathy among prisoners. According to the source, Mangione is “loved by the prisoners” and has gained respect after sharing his story about inadequate healthcare—a theme that resonates deeply within the prison.
