6ix9ine revealed that he once asked Sean “Diddy” Combs why he never got an invite to any of his infamous parties during their first encounter behind bars.
Speaking with DJ Vlad, the rapper explained that he, Combs, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, and former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández all shared the same jail unit. “We slept next to each other,” he recalled.
According to a 2024 NPR report, Combs, Hernández, and Bankman-Fried were among several high-profile inmates held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, alongside others like Martin Shkreli, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Fetty Wap.
“The first thing he said to me, he laughed and was like, ‘Yo, that’s crazy how we meet, right?’” 6ix9ine said, adding that they shared a hug. “That’s when I said, ‘Yo, why you never invited me to any of your parties?’” When Vlad asked if he meant Combs’ notorious freak offs, 6ix9ine confirmed, “Yeah, I’m like, ‘Yo, why you ain’t invite me?’”
Back in November 2024, the New York Daily News reported that 6ix9ine was being housed in the same unit as Combs and Bankman-Fried. His lawyer, Lance Lazzaro, said the rapper had initially been placed in solitary confinement for safety reasons after receiving a one-month sentence for violating his supervised release. He was later moved to Combs’ dorm-style floor. “He was transferred to that same unit that P. Diddy is in,” Lazzaro shared. “How they’re getting along, I have no information as to that.”
Earlier this year, Bankman-Fried told Tucker Carlson about his experience being locked up with Combs. “You know, obviously I’ve only seen one piece of him, which is Diddy in prison, and he’s been kind to people in the unit, he’s been kind to me,” he said. “It’s also a position no one wants to be in.”
Though he didn’t mention 6ix9ine, Bankman-Fried described the inmates in the unit as “a combination of a few other high-profile cases and then a lot of ex-gangsters—or alleged ex-gangsters.”
