Talk about life imitating art. The prison outfit Sean “Diddy” Combs wore in the 2001 drama Monster’s Ball just sold at auction—at the same time he’s battling serious federal charges that could put him behind bars for life.

GWS Auctions sold the full look from his role as Lawrence Musgrove, a death row inmate who shares a heartbreaking goodbye with his family before execution. The outfit includes a white Hanes tee, cut-off gray sweatshirt, Faded Glory jeans, black canvas slip-ons, and a production tag confirming its use on screen.
Fast forward two decades, and the man once acting out a prison farewell is now facing serious federal charges—including sex trafficking and racketeering—that could land him behind bars for life.
And Diddy? He’s pulling every legal lever he can to escape that fate.
His legal team has been working overtime trying to get a mistrial—twice already. The first denied attempt pointed to destroyed fingerprint evidence from a reported arson attempt at Kid Cudi’s home—implying it could’ve helped clear his name. But again, the judge shut it down.
Then came a second push. This time, the defense accused prosecutors of misconduct, claiming they knowingly introduced false testimony about an alleged 2016 incident where Diddy reportedly dangled a woman off a balcony at Cassie’s apartment. Both Cassie and the woman, Bryana Bongolan, testified in court.
With his reputation already in freefall and a federal trial looming large, the timing of this costume sale is wild. What started as a Hollywood prop is now a chilling reminder that Diddy’s onscreen past might not be too far off from his real-life future.
