Sean “Diddy” Combs found himself in hot water this week for allegedly drinking booze behind bars in federal prison.
The 55-year-old Bad Boy Records founder, who last month started serving four years for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, was caught with homemade alcohol — consisting of fermented Fanta, sugar and apples — at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, sources told TMZ.
Two insiders said that officials at the low-security prison decided against moving Diddy to another unit from that of the special drug program unit where he reportedly resides.
At his October sentencing, Combs said in a letter to Manhattan federal court Judge Arun Subramanian that his time at Brooklyn’s infamous Metropolitan Detention Center, where he’d been held since his arrest in September 2024, resulted in his first bout of sobriety in over two decades.
“The old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn. … I choose to live,” Combs wrote to the judge.
Diddy was charged late last year in connection to the “elaborate sex performances” better known as “freak-offs.” He was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges which could have resulted in a life sentence.
At his sentencing, Combs was emotional when he claimed he was “not this larger-than-life person” but “just a human being” who “got lost in the excess” and his own ego.
“I lost my career. I totally destroyed my reputation,” he said. “I hate myself right now. I been stripped down to nothing. I really am truly sorry for it all, no matter what they say.”
Combs is currently expected to be a free man on May 8, 2028.
