Sean "Diddy" Combs has been removed from suicide watch at Brooklyn's notorious Metropolitan Detention Center, according to multiple reports.

Combs, 54, was placed on suicide watch at the jail shortly after he was arrested on Sept. 16 at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Midtown.

His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said at the time it was simply a routine precautionary measure for famous prisoners . He described Combs as "not at all suicidal."

Combs has also been visited by several of his family members in the past two weeks, sources told People magazine. The family members have not been identified. Previously, Combs' seven kids were reportedly in "shock" and only "briefly" spoke with him in jail.

The Bad Boy Records founder's defense team attempted to put together a convincing bail package to get him out of jail, including a $50 million payment and electronic monitoring. However, two judges denied Combs' bail requests and ordered him held until trial.

"The government has proven a danger of obstruction and witness tampering and a danger to the community in general," Judge Andrew Carter said in denying Combs' appeal .

The feds argued that Combs' was accused of witness intimidation and tampering in multiple instances. He allegedly took videos of raucous sexual encounters dubbed "freak offs" and used them as leverage to keep people from speaking with police.

Separate from the federal charges — one count each of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution — Combs has been accused in several civil suits of physically and sexually abusing women .

The civil suits started in November 2023, when Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura sued him, and the two settled 24 hours later. That sparked several more suits, the federal investigation, the release of a video showing Combs attacking Ventura in a hotel hallway and eventually Combs' arrest in New York.
