Diddy is settling into what one former inmate describes as a “relatively sweet and easy bid” at Fort Dix federal prison in New Jersey, where the music mogul began serving his 50-month sentence.
Sean “Diddy” Combs is officially locked up at Fort Dix Federal Prison in New Jersey — but it looks like life inside ain’t exactly struggle meals and cold showers. A new report reveals what’s on Diddy’s commissary list, and it says a lot about power, privilege, and how prison really works for the rich and famous.
The 55-year-old Bad Boy Records founder was transferred to the low-security facility after spending 13 months at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center following his September 2024 arrest. Combs was convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and sentenced to just over four years behind bars. Former Fort Dix inmate, Philly rapper Dos Noun, recently completed a two-year stint at the facility. He provided some insight into what Diddy can expect during his incarceration:
“Diddy is going to have a relatively sweet and easy bid. Fort Dix is trash in some ways but anyone who has been up higher or even to other lows will say it’s known as being wide open and everything up for grabs. People will try to price gouge him but he can have a phone, a private chef, his room cleaned, custom clothes, extra commissary, and special food contracts for better ingredients etc. He’s from NYC. They’ll keep anybody from pressing him. My guess is his biggest issue is going to be the worship and Fandom. And yes I know what I’m talking about. I just lived there for two.”
The Federal Correctional Institution at Fort Dix houses approximately 3,800 inmates and has previously held high-profile figures, including Joe Giudice from The Real Housewives of New Jersey. The facility offers drug treatment programs, which Diddy requested access to as part of his rehabilitation. Diddy’s legal team is appealing both his conviction and sentence, with attorneys asking a federal appeals court to expedite the process. Diddy has also reportedly requested a presidential pardon from Donald Trump, though no decision has been made.
