Looks like Diddy just couldn’t stop the party—not even behind bars. The music mogul was reportedly caught sipping homemade alcohol at Fort Dix, despite promising a judge he’d stay sober. The brew? A DIY cocktail of Fanta, sugar, and apples, left to ferment like a dorm room science experiment gone rogue.Sean Diddy Combs was caught drinking homemade alcohol at Fort Dix prison this week, breaking the sobriety commitment he made to a judge just weeks before his sentence. The incident landed him in trouble with prison officials, who initially planned disciplinary action before reversing their decision.
TMZ, citing sources, confirmed that Diddy possessed homemade alcohol inside the low-security New Jersey facility where he is currently serving time. The contraband beverage was created using a common prison recipe involving Fanta, sugar and apples that inmates allow to ferment for approximately two weeks until it becomes alcoholic.Prison officials discovered the alcohol and initially planned to move Diddy from his current unit to a new one as punishment for the violation. However, two sources said that officials have now reversed that decision, allowing the music mogul to remain in his original housing unit.The incident marks a significant departure from the sobriety narrative Diddy presented to the court prior to his sentencing last month. He emphasised to the judge that he was sober for the first time in 25 years and acknowledged that substances had caused him to lose his way.In a letter submitted to the judge, Diddy described a profound personal transformation during his time in custody. He wrote that the old version of himself died in jail while a new version was reborn, adding that prison either changes a person or destroys them, and he chose to live.Recent photographs showed Diddy appearing comfortable in the Fort Dix prison yard last week, suggesting he had adjusted to life behind bars. He appeared to be the life of the party in those images, laughing and smiling while conversing with fellow inmates.The alcohol incident reveals a more complicated picture of his adjustment to prison life and the temptations that exist even in controlled environments.Diddy was convicted on two counts of violating the Mann Act back in July and received a 50-month sentence in October. He was transferred to Fort Dix prison last week, beginning his sentence at the low-security facility in New Jersey.A prison official contacted about the incident stated they had no information to share about the alcohol discovery, following standard protocol for correctional facilities that typically decline to discuss specific incidents involving individual inmates.Whether this lapse represents a momentary weakness or deeper struggles with maintaining the changes he described to the court remains unclear. The violation will appear on his institutional record and could influence future decisions about privileges or early release considerations.
