Diddy Reportedly 'Still Thinks He's In Charge Behind Bars' At Fort Dix: 'He Acts Like It's A Luxury Rehab'

Sean "Diddy" Combs seems to be living it up at FCI Fort Dix, the facility where he was sent to serve his sentence for prostitution-related offenses.
According to reports, despite spending only a few weeks in prison, the music mogul has already violated several rules. The rapper has allegedly been warned repeatedly about his behavior, but appears uninterested in making any changes.
Sean "Diddy" Combs is currently appealing his case and recently won a decision to fast-track the appeal process.
The Rapper 'Hasn't Changed,' Prison Source Claims
Sources who spoke with Rob Shuter's #ShuterScoop have provided details about Diddy's life at the FCI Fort Dix.
The rapper was sent to the facility to serve his four-year, two-month sentence for prostitution offenses, which stemmed from his sex crime trial.
But rather than serving his sentence in humility as the changed man he claimed to be during his trial, the hip-hop mogul has reportedly shown no sign of remorse.
He has allegedly already begun flouting multiple prison rules and continues to behave as though his status before the scandal remains unchanged.
"He hasn't changed," one insider said about the disgraced rapper, who was reportedly caught drinking homemade booze, an allegation Diddy's rep has since denied.
The insider added, "Diddy still thinks he's in charge, even behind bars. It's the same arrogance — just with concrete walls."
Diddy Allegedly Snuck In Contraband Devices To Manage His Empire From Behind Bars
Beyond the alcohol allegations, the rapper has also reportedly become involved in the prison's contraband network.
He is said to have smuggled in unauthorized devices to monitor his business empire from behind bars and allegedly has access to a phone outside of what is permitted by the facility.
These privileges possibly came from either well-connected inmates or compromised staff members who are reportedly giving him special treatment.
"He knows how to work the system," said an insider. "He acts like it's a luxury rehab, not a federal facility."
The Rapper Has Already Received Multiple Warnings Due To His Actions
Diddy has reportedly received warnings from officials in the facility because of his behavior since arriving.
However, the HipHop star appears to have ignored them, with one source noting that he "laughs it off."
"He's Diddy — he's used to power," an insider said about Diddy's attitude. "And power's hard to surrender."
"He's not rehabilitating — he's reinventing the hustle from inside," one more source said about the rapper.
Diddy 'Bragged' To Inmates About Getting A Pardon Next Year
The revelation about Diddy's behavior comes days after reports claimed that he has been bragging to inmates about possibly receiving a pardon from President Donald Trump next year.
Insiders who spoke with TMZ shared the details, adding that the rapper has promised to take care of his fellow inmates if the pardon comes through from the Commander-in-Chief.
The possibility of a pardon first emerged during the rapper's trial, and one of his lawyers confirmed in August that they had approached POTUS over the issue.
"It's my understanding that we've reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon," Nicole Westmoreland told CNN at the time.
Trump later admitted that he was contacted about a pardon for the 56-year-old, whom he claimed was one of many to have asked him for a pardon.
However, at the time, he did not say whether he was interested in granting the request. Since then, there has been no confirmation from any White House representative regarding a pardon being considered.
The Disgraced Rapper Has Appealed His Sentence
Regardless of whether a pardon comes through, Diddy remains keen on reducing his sentence.
He recently filed an appeal in his case, which came as no surprise, as his lawyers had indicated after his sentencing that it would be the next step.
Earlier in the month, the rapper scored a small victory in the matter, as his motion to expedite the process was granted on Monday by U.S. Circuit Court Judge Beth Robinson.
The ruling also revealed that Diddy's team will begin with an opening brief due by December 23, 2025.
Next, the federal prosecutors will submit their brief, due by February 20, 2026.
After the government's reply, Diddy's team will be allowed to issue a response no later than March 13, 2026.
Opening arguments are then expected to be held as early as April 2026, subject to the judge's approval.
