Music manager and hip-hop commentator Wack 100 recently speculated that Sean "Diddy" Combs may consider converting to Islam if he remains in federal prison, a move Wack believes could offer the rapper increased protection.
During an interview with DJ Vlad, Wack explained, "I can see him turning to Islam, probably, preferably Sunni Muslims in that situation. You know, Diddy’s not going to… turn into a gang member, a gang beggar. If he’s associating himself with anything, it probably would be the Muslims."
Wack elaborated on how Diddy’s wealth and status could also offer him a degree of safety among inmates.
“He got a bag,” Wack said, adding that others would likely approach him with respect, recognizing that he could support not only himself but potentially others within the prison.
He continued, “They solidified and respected in the federal system,” referring to the prominence of Muslim communities in federal prisons.
As the discussion with DJ Vlad continued, Wack and Vlad addressed Diddy’s background as a Christian, with Wack sharing that a turn toward Islam could provide practical benefits within the prison environment.
"The Muslim card is real deep," Wack commented, noting that the choice could be a strategic one if Diddy needs an influential affiliation while incarcerated.
Diddy is currently held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn after being arrested in September on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and other serious accusations.
Despite pleading not guilty, he has been denied bail multiple times. Diddy resides in the 4 North dorm unit of MDC, where he shares space with other high-profile inmates, including Sam Bankman-Fried.
Reports suggest this unit provides relatively more lenient conditions compared to the general prison population, with amenities such as air hockey and extended call time.
While Wack 100’s remarks stirred speculation, it remains to be seen how Diddy might respond to the challenges of incarceration.
Known for his dedication to Christianity, Diddy once collaborated with producer Stevie J on a gospel album titled 'Thank You', though it was never released.
Wack’s comments have sparked conversation on social media about how celebrity inmates adapt and seek affiliations within prison communities.
