Diddy’s Old Girlfriend Sending Him Illicit Nude Photos on Contraband Prison Phone: Report </a>
</p>

<p id=”par-2_60″>The disgraced hip-hop star has been placed in the Special Housing Unit at FCI Fort Dix, according to <a href=”https://www.tmz.com/2026/09/30/diddy-returns-to-solitary-confinement/#google_vignette” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TMZ</a>. The move comes as a response to a <a href=”https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/diddys-pampered-life-prison-massages-nude-photos-hennessy-rcna600343″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>NBC News</a> report earlier this week where insiders alleged that he had access to an illicit cellphone and high-end liquor behind bars and was paying other inmates to cook and clean for him.</p>
<p id=”par-3_33″>Sources told TMZ that it’s normal for an inmate to be sent to solitary <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/prison-allegedly-probes-diddys-lavish-lifestyle-at-fort-dix.html/”>during an investigation</a>. Earlier this year, Diddy was also sent to the SHU following a fight with another prisoner.</p>
<p id=”par-4_76″>Anonymous inmates who spoke to NBC said that the Bad Boy Records founder was spending thousands of dollar every month to live a lux life behind bars. Fellow prisoners cooked him elaborate meals and even gave him massages, sources said. The outlet also obtained footage of Diddy – who is serving a 50-month sentence on prostitution-related charges – using a contraband cellphone, on which he allegedly views explicit photos sent to him by an old girlfriend. </p>
<p id=”par-5_25″>“This is not some normal sh*t you see in jail. This is some rich sh*t,” one person said. “It looks crazy, but again, it’s Diddy.”</p>

<p id=”par-6_63″>The contraband problem at Fort Dix goes beyond Diddy. On September 16, the federal government charged five men for their roles in connection with a scheme to smuggle contraband into Fort Dix, including knives, marijuana, tobacco, cellular phones, vapes, cell phone chargers, tool kits, and a tattoo kit. Two of the men were inmates, while two others were current or former corrections officers. </p>
<p id=”par-7_18″>However, sources say that as a particularly high-profile inmate, Diddy is in a unique position at Fort Dix. </p>
<p id=”par-8_44″>“Diddy is running that prison like he owns the place,” an insider told Rob Shuter’s <a href=”https://robshuter.substack.com/p/exclusive-diddy-promises-prison-pals” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>Naughty But Nice</em></a> Substack. “Inmates wait on him, people compete to get close to him, and even some guards are starstruck. He’s basically created a VIP section behind bars.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_25″>A source who spoke to NBC confirmed that Diddy was using his wealth and fame to make his life in prison as comfortable as possible. </p>
<p id=”par-10_18″>“He’s a billionaire. People are in awe of him,” one person said. “Money is power, especially behind bars.”</p>
