Sean Combs is currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. His environment is a far cry from his previous life of luxury, now dealing with conditions complained about in the facility.

His lawyers have fought for his release, concerned about community safety and witness tampering. As he approaches his 55th birthday, Mr. Combs expresses gratitude for family support, captured in a touching video message.
