Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly been caught drinking alcohol in prison.
Diddy, who turned 56 on Tuesday, November 4, was caught with a homemade alcoholic substance by jail officials at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution at Fort Dix in New Jersey this week, sources claimed to TMZ on Friday, November 7. The alcohol was reportedly made of Fanta, sugar and apples, which inmates give two weeks to ferment before drinking.
According to the outlet’s insiders, prison officials initially planned to move Diddy to a new unit after he was busted, but they have since reversed their decision, so the record producer will remain in his current unit.
An official from the prison told the publication that they have “no information about the incident.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ prison release date has been revealed following his sentencing earlier this month. According to the Bureau of Prisons website, Diddy, 55, will be released on May 8, 2028. He is currently incarcerated at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center but may be moved to a different location to serve out the remainder of his […]
Us Weekly reached out to reps for Diddy and the prison for comment.
Following his September 2024 arrest, Diddy was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of three more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion in July. The “I’ll Be Missing You” singer, who has maintained his innocence, was sentenced to four years and two months in prison in October.
Prior to his sentencing, Diddy wrote a letter to the judge presiding over his case in which he apologized for “all of the hurt and pain that I have caused others by my conduct” and stated that he was “sober for the first time in 25 years.”
“Since incarceration, I have gone through a spiritual reset. I’m on a journey that will take time and hard work. I’m proud to say I’m working harder than I ever have before,” he wrote in his letter, which was obtained by Us. “I’m committed to the journey of remaining a drug free, non-violent and peaceful person.”

Diddy concluded, “I humbly ask you for another chance — another chance to be a better father, another chance to be a better son, another chance to be a better leader in my community, and another chance to live a better life. I am writing this not to gain any sympathy or pity, this experience is simply the truth of my existence and has changed my life forever and I will never commit a crime again.”
In late October, Diddy was transferred to FCI Fort Dix from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he had been behind bars since his arrest.
Seton Hall Law School professor Bill Baroni, who served three months in a similar facility for his involvement in the 2013 “Bridgegate” scandal before the Supreme Court reversed his fraud conviction, exclusively told Us on October 30 that the transfer would be “a dramatic change for the better.”
Attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs plan to appeal his federal conviction and prison sentence. Diddy, 55, was sentenced to just over four years in federal prison on Friday, October 3, after he was convicted of transporting people across state lines for sex. He was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering. “Both the guidelines calculation and […]
“His life will be so much easier where he is now,” Baroni said, adding that Diddy is “going from one of the most severe prisons in America to a low-security camp that has no cells or bars.” (Fort Dix, which holds more than 4,000 inmates, instead has dormitory units with bunk beds for 12 men in each.)
Baroni continued, “He will go from a very regimented life in Brooklyn to one where he can work out for hours at the gym, take classes, watch TV and walk the track. There are always challenges to going into prison, but he is going to a place where violence is nearly nowhere to be found. He will be safer here than at any time since he was charged.”
Diddy is scheduled to be released from Fort Dix on May 8, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ website. However, he could be released earlier if he remains on good behavior and completes certain programs while incarcerated.
