Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly in hot water after being caught drinking alcohol in prison.
According to TMZ, officials at Fort Dix in New Jersey discovered that Diddy had been consuming contraband alcohol just a week into serving his 50-month sentence. Inmates allegedly made a homemade brew using Fanta, sugar, and apples. While there were talks about moving Diddy to another unit, authorities ultimately decided not to.
The 56-year-old mogul had previously emphasized his sobriety in a letter to the judge before sentencing, saying he’d been living sober for the first time in over 20 years. “The old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn,” he wrote. “Prison will change you or kill you—I choose to live.”
Diddy’s legal team had requested that he serve his time at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security facility, so he could focus on rehabilitation, family visits, and treatment for substance abuse. Reports say he’s been working in the prison laundry as his assigned job.
This latest incident comes shortly after a bit of good news for Diddy—his lawyers recently secured an expedited appeals process, with oral arguments potentially beginning as early as April 2026.
