Luigi Mangione set to move in close to Diddy in Brooklyn prison after upstaging him
Luigi Mangione and disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs become neighbors in Brooklyn’s most notorious prison.
The 26-year-old, who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, iIt is currently incarcerated in the Special Housing Unit of the Metropolitan Detention Center, a solitary confinement space specifically designed for high-risk inmates.
Meanwhile, the disgraced rapper is currently in the same prison in New York among the general population.
However, prison consultant Sam Mangel has now revealed that although the infamous pair are now on different floors, ‘at some point they will be on the same floor together’. Page six reported.
Mangione, an Ivy League graduate, was extradited from Pennslyvania to the Brooklyn Detention Center last week.
He faces both state and federal charges, including first-degree murder and stalking, following the December 4 daylight shooting in downtown New York City.
Mangione is “still kept under observation, or in the special housing unit,” Mangel explained to the outlet, calling the living quarters a “small solitary confinement cell.”
“Luigi has not yet entered the general population where Sean Combs is being held,” Mangel said.

Prison consultant Sam Mangel has since revealed that although the infamous couple are now on different floors, ‘at some point they will be on the same floor together’
“They are kept on a separate floor and at some point together on the same floor. But right now they are not placed on the same floor.”
Combs is incarcerated at MDC as a result of his September 16 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Federal law enforcement officials believe the rap star, who has pleaded not guilty, committed his sex crimes while hosting lavish parties, or “Freak Offs,” over a period of at least two decades.
The musician remains in custody as he awaits trial in May 2025, after withdrawing his latest bail appeal earlier this month.
As the two high-profile inmates prepare for their shared stay, a prison expert has revealed that Mangione is likely to face strict rules including a ‘fixed diet of anti-psychotic drugs’.
Larry Levine – director and founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants and who himself spent ten years in the prison system – told the American Sun that Mangione will soon go on the ‘antipsychotic diet’.
‘[Diddy] can handle his shit. I just know [Mangione] is fucking scared, and now they’re probably trying to force-feed him,” Levine said. ‘
They’re going to offer him psychiatric medication. He’ll be a fucking zombie. That’s a given.’
As for what food Mangione will actually eat, Levine said, “He can have cheese crackers and maybe a bottle of plastic soda.”
‘He’ll buy a honey bun. It’s like all knock-offs. They don’t sell the real stuff at the FBI,” Levine added.
‘[Luigi’s] the mind is a little confused. He never thought he would join the FBI,” Levine said. ‘He is getting used to his new environment. His lawyers thank God he is in New York, and they do not have to travel to Pennsylvania to visit him.”
