A representative for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ has shrugged off claims the disgraced rapper is living a life of luxury behind bars.
The 56-year-old rapper is currently serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and he’s being held at low security correctional facility FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. However, a new report by NBC suggests Combs has been living a life of “privilege” at the prison by paying other inmates to cook and clean for him while he’s also said to have been given a tablet to watch movies on as well as a cell phone and has a secret stash of “premium” booze.
However, a spokesperson for the star dismissed the gossip, telling the outlet: “The continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs’s life in prison has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news.
“The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence within the rules and he patiently awaits the court’s decision on his appeal.”
The NBC News report featured claims from four men who shared a unit with Combs at the prison. They suggested Combs paid one inmate to clean the toilet and shower areas before the star use them and he hired others to cook him special meals including pizza, curry and empanadas.
One of the men said: “This is not some normal s*** you see in jail. This is some rich s***. It looks crazy, but again, it’s Diddy.”
Another added: “He’s a billionaire. People are in awe of him. Money is power, especially behind bars.”
They suggest he’s able to watch TV shows and films on a tablet which was smuggled in and scroll Instagram and receive messages via a cell phone.
NBC reports Combs spends “thousands of dollars a month to bring his lifestyle to the low-security prison” and suggests his associates on the outside help him by adding cash to the commissary accounts of the inmates performing services for him on the inside.
A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons told NBC they wouldn’t comment on the specific claims due to “privacy, safety and security reasons,” with the representative adding: “Like all correctional agencies, contraband, particularly cell phones, narcotics, and weapons, remains a constant challenge, and we continue to tackle the problem of contraband being introduced into our facilities.”
Combs is due for release on 21 January 2028.
