Diddy’s 2001 Prison Costume Up for Auction Amid Federal Trial

Sean "Diddy" Combs' prison outfit from the 2001 Oscar-winning film "Monster's Ball" is going up for auction starting June 7 via GWS Auctions. The costume, worn by Diddy in his role as Lawrence Musgrove, includes a gray hoodie, jeans with one leg cut off, and black canvas shoes, accompanied by a production costumer's tag and a Letter of Provenance, sourced from Star Wares of Los Angeles. This auctioned film outfit contrasts with the orange prison jumpsuit Diddy currently wears while detained at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Testimonies in his ongoing trial include statements from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and a former assistant known as "Mia," who allege multiple instances of sexual abuse. While Diddy's real prison attire is not for sale, this iconic costume from one of his first major film roles attracts attention amid his current legal troubles. GWS Auctions is also offering other notable Hollywood memorabilia, such as the microphone stand from "Pulp Fiction."
