Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly drinking alcohol in prison.
The music mogul has been in “troubles with prison officials” at Fort Dix for consuming “homemade alcohol,” a source told TMZ on Friday.
According to the report, the DIY recipe he was caught drinking contained sugar, Fanta soda and apples, which were mixed together and fermented for two weeks to create an alcoholic drink.
Officials at the low-security prison where Combs, 56, is serving a four-year sentence for prostitution-related charges, have reportedly decided to move Combs from his old unit to a new unit.
However, multiple sources told the media that the decision had been reversed and he would remain with his former unit.
Prison officials told the media they had “no information” about the incident.
Page Six has reached out to a representative for Combs.
Ahead of last month’s sentencing, designer Sean John claimed in a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian that he was “sober for the first time in 25 years”.
“You can’t change the past, but you can change the future,” he wrote at the time, pleading for “mercy.”
“I know God put me here to change me. Since being incarcerated, I’ve had a mental reset,” he continued.
“I am on a journey that will take time and effort. I am proud to say that I am working harder than ever before. I am committed to my journey of remaining drug-free, non-violent, and peaceful. I thank God that I have become stronger, wiser, cleaner, clearer, and sober. God makes no mistakes.”
The next day, October 3, a Manhattan federal court sentenced the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper to four years and two months in prison.
He was also ordered to participate in a substance abuse and mental health program and pay a $500,000 fine to the court. The rapper is currently scheduled for release on May 8, 2028.
Combs was originally held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, but was transferred last week to Fort Dix, New Jersey. Afterwards, he was seen smiling and shaking hands with inmates in the prison yard.
The Bad Boy for Life hitmaker celebrated his 56th birthday in prison on Tuesday, where he was offered a choice of navy bean or cheese pizza for his birthday dinner, People magazine reported.
