Diddy hanging with Jamaicans at Fort Dix

Disgraced music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is reportedly relying on Jamaican inmates to cater to his needs behind bars after allegedly falling out of his usual prison routine.

According to reports from fellow inmates, Combs, 56, has been living a privileged lifestyle while serving a 50-month sentence at a federal prison in New Jersey. Sources claim the rap star has used his wealth and influence to have other prisoners clean, cook and run errands for him.

One inmate told reporters that, after some prisoners grew tired of preparing special meals, Combs “started going to the Jamaicans” for help.

The claims emerged as federal records showed Combs is now expected to be released on January 21, 2028, slightly earlier than a previous projected release date in February of that year.

Diddy is being held at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey, the same low-security federal prison where notorious Jamaican drug lord Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke is also an inmate.

Coke, the former leader of Jamaica’s feared Shower Posse gang, is serving a 23-year sentence after convictions related to racketeering and drug trafficking. He is scheduled for release in January 2029, a year after Combs is released.

Whether Combs and Coke have crossed paths inside Fort Dix remains unknown. The prison holds more than 4,000 federal prisoners, but the exact number of Jamaican nationals incarcerated at the Federal correctional institution based in New Jersey is not publicly disclosed by US authorities.

Meanwhile, tour men who have spent time in his unit spoke anonymously to NBC News, which also reviewed photos and videos taken inside the prison, including footage of the rapper seemingly using a contraband phone.

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.”

According to the sources, Combs spends thousands of dollars, with people outside prison putting money into the commissary accounts of inmates he has working for him, including one who cleans the toilet and shower areas before he uses them, and others who secretly cook him special meals such as curry and pizza using a makeshift heating element submerged in water.

One man said: “After a while, I got tired of cooking. He started going to the Jamaicans.”

Other inmates allegedly look after the rapper’s contraband phone and his fan mail.

One insider said: “It’s so much that he gets. He doesn’t have room for it.”

When he arrived at Fort Dix, Combs entered a drug treatment programme but allegedly used the network there to acquire his phone, alcohol and a number of inmates on his payroll.

One source said: “Pretty much the day he arrived, the party started.”

Another added: “You can pretty much get anything except a key to the front door and a female.”

Guards are alleged to have smuggled in premium alcohol for Combs, which he has shared with a group of inmates.

One who claimed to have drunk Hennessy with him said: “Hell yeah, I drank with him.”

A spokesperson for Combs insisted his “ordinary prison life” isn’t news.

The representative said: “The continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs’s life in prison has reached the point where the media characterises ordinary prison life as news.

“The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence while awaiting the court’s decision on his appeal.”

A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said the agency does not comment on particular inmates because of “privacy, safety and security reasons”.

They added in a statement: “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.”
