Sean “Diddy” Combs would have was placed in solitary confinement following allegations regarding his lavish lifestyle in federal prisons.
Action follows NBC NewsOn Tuesday, detailed accounts from four anonymous inmates alleged the 56-year-old paid men for special services including massages, used a contraband phone and kept an illegal stash of alcohol.
Combs is serving a 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Jersey, after being convicted of transporting prostitutes across state lines for drug-fueled sex shows, known as “freak-offs.”
Following the news, Combs was placed in a special housing unit (SHU), better known as solitary confinement, a source told the outlet.
This isn’t the first time the disgraced music mogul has set foot in the SHU. In July, the artist and music producer spent some time alone after fighting in prison, sources said. TMZ And NBC News.
According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ inmate database, allegations about Combs’ pampered incarcerated lifestyle emerged just as his release date moved forward again.
He is now scheduled to be released on January 21, 2028.
Sources told NBC News that Combs paid inmates to clean and prepare special meals for him, including chicken curry, pizza and empanadas, and that the hip-hop artist also received Chinese massages.
To pay for this work, inmates say individuals outside the prison deposit thousands of dollars into the commissary accounts of those who serve the “Bad Boy for Life” rapper.
A source told NBC: “This isn’t the normal shit you see in prison. This is some rich shit. It looks crazy, but again, it’s Diddy.”
The outlet also reviewed footage obtained inside the correctional facility that showed Combs using a phone, a prohibited item in state and federal prisons. Multiple inmates claim he uses it to scroll through Instagram and view explicit nude content shared by a former girlfriend.
Two sources also claim that Diddy has access to a “jailbroken” tablet on which he watches films and documentaries, including “Sean Combs: The Reckoning,” the Netflix documentary series produced by his opponent Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.

Other allegations indicate the “Mo Money Mo Problems” rapper buys an antidepressant known as Remeron, or “rem-roms,” from other inmates and keeps a stash of moonshine.
“Of course I drank with him,” one of the men, who described drinking Hennessy with Combs, told NBC.
Combs’ representatives said Friday that they were unaware of any action taken against the rapper: “We have no idea he’s out there. And we have no idea when he comes out, if he does. BOP doesn’t share that information with us.”
They also shared a statement Wednesday following the allegations against Combs.
“The scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs’ prison life has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news,” the spokesperson said via email. “The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence within the rules and is patiently awaiting the court’s decision on his appeal.”
The Federal Bureau of Prisons did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday; However, an FCI Fort Dix spokesperson said Wednesday that he could not comment on the “conditions of detention of any incarcerated person,” nor “confirm or deny the existence of a corresponding investigation.”
“Like all correctional agencies, contraband, particularly cell phones, narcotics and weapons, remains an ongoing challenge, and we continue to address the issue of contraband brought into our facilities,” the spokesperson said Wednesday. “Inmates are not allowed access to cell phones, and all Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) incarcerated individuals who violate the ‘Inmate Discipline Program’ policy are subject to sanctions.”
Last year, Combs participated in a lengthy public trial involving allegations of sexual assault and other violence. His former girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a civil lawsuit against the music mogul.
In July 2025, Combs was convicted of two prostitution-related charges, but the mogul was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, which carry harsher penalties, including a maximum sentence of life in prison.
