Diddy Allegedly Faces Discipline for Prison Call Breach, Citing Legal Privilege
Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly facing potential disciplinary action after allegedly making an unauthorized three-way call while incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. This incident could result in a loss of phone privileges, as CBS News has reported based on prison documents.
Diddy’s Current Incarceration Status
Combs is serving a 50-month sentence following his conviction on two counts related to prostitution. He was initially incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn before being transferred to Fort Dix in September 2024.
Allegations of Rule Breach
According to reports, the music mogul made the call shortly after arriving at the low-security prison. However, Combs’ spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, clarified that the call was initiated by an attorney. Engelmayer asserted that the call fell under attorney-client privilege. Furthermore, he explained that Combs is currently participating in a drug treatment program and working in the chapel library.
- Inmate: Sean “Diddy” Combs
- Location: FCI Fort Dix, New Jersey
- Sentence: 50 months for prostitution-related charges
- Date of Sentencing: October 3, 2024
- Fine: $500,000
Previous Incidents in Custody
Prior to this incident, Combs faced rumors of drinking homemade alcohol while in prison, which his spokesperson also denied. Engelmayer emphasized that Combs is committed to maintaining his sobriety and self-discipline during his time behind bars.
Advocacy for Rehabilitation
Before his transfer to Fort Dix, Combs’ legal team advocated for the move to improve his access to rehabilitation and family visits. His attorney, Teny Geragos, suggested that staying at Fort Dix would better address Combs’ drug abuse issues.
As Combs continues to navigate prison life, maintaining his privileges and addressing his rehabilitation needs remain a priority for both him and his legal team.
