Diddy reportedly unhappy with prison arrangements and jealous of cellmate Luigi Mangione

Diddy, the 54-year-old rapper and music mogul, is reportedly growing frustrated over the popularity of fellow inmate Luigi Mangione at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Center, where both men are awaiting trial. Diddy is facing sex trafficking charges, while Mangione is incarcerated for the alleged murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

Sources close to the situation claim Diddy is enraged by the attention Mangione has garnered from fellow inmates. Despite facing murder charges, Mangione is being revered as a hero by many of the prisoners, a fact that has left Diddy "throwing tantrums," according to one source. The rapper is upset because he feels that, despite maintaining his innocence, he is being met with hostility in prison, while Mangione is being celebrated.

Mangione held in custody after high-profile shooting

Mangione, 26, is in solitary confinement, but that hasn't stopped him from becoming a beloved figure among prisoners. He reportedly has gained support due to his tragic personal experiences, particularly losing loved ones to inadequate healthcare.

"Luigi's popularity is largely driven by the empathy inmates feel for his struggles," the source explained to the Daily Mail.

"They also sympathize with his situation, considering the prison's own alleged healthcare deficiencies."

Meanwhile, Diddy is in the general population, and while they share the same legal team, the two men have not crossed paths in the prison.

"They don't have anything in common, and Diddy hasn't had any contact with Mangione," the source added.

Despite the severity of his crime, Mangione has found himself gaining significant attention, even attracting a fanbase. A source revealed that Mangione is "extremely aware" of the support he has received, which he has expressed being "moved" by, providing him with confidence during his incarceration.

Meanwhile, Diddy's legal troubles are far from over. He is awaiting trial for sex trafficking and facing numerous lawsuits related to sexual assault. Over 150 individuals, both men and women, have accused Diddy of abuse and exploitation, particularly during parties in various states, often involving drug-laced drinks.

Though both men are facing serious charges, the stark contrast in their experiences inside the prison-one gaining widespread adoration and the other facing disdain-has become a point of contention for the rapper.
