The rapper is 'doing okay,' his lawyer said.

The singer's lawyer also dished on his well-being.

“He’s doing okay,” Agnifilo told People, adding that Combs “realizes he has flaws like everyone else that he never worked on.”

“He burns hot in all matters. I think what he has come to see is that he has these flaws and there’s no amount of fame and no amount of fortune that can erase them," the attorney continued. “You can’t cover them up.”

The star remains jailed in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The music mogul remains jailed in Brooklyn, N.Y., after his conviction on prostitution-related charges, which could put him in prison for several more years.

After Combs' homes in L.A. home and the Miami area were raided, Agnifilo predicted he would be arrested.

“I said: ‘Maybe it’s your fate in life to be the guy who wins,’” he shared. “They need to see that someone can win. I think he took that to heart.”

Combs, who has been in jail since September 2024, was denied bail by Judge Arun Subramanian.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex wrote a letter, saying she is fearful of him being released.

In a letter obtained by OK!, the mom-of-three's attorney penned to Judge Arun Subramanian, "We write as counsel for Casandra Ventura ("Ms. Ventura") to respectfully request that the Court deny Mr. Combs to be released pending his sentencing on his two convictions under 18 U.S.C. § 2421."

"Pursuant to the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1343(a)(2), detention is mandatory post-conviction on these charges, as Ms. Ventura believes that Mr. Combs is likely to pose a danger to the victims who testified in this case, including herself, as well as to the community," they concluded.
