Diddy’s Personal Call: Music Mogul Drinks Behind Bars

Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently serving a four-year prison sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. This follows his federal conviction for transporting male escorts across state lines for prostitution. Diddy was transferred to Fort Dix on October 30, 2025, from Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

Diddy’s Personal Call: The Incident Unfolds

Shortly after his arrival, Diddy faced disciplinary action for violating prison rules. According to reports, he made a three-way call on November 3, which breached Bureau of Prisons (BOP) regulations that prohibit multiple participants on inmate calls. Inmates are restricted from such calls to prevent potential coordination of criminal activities.

Diddy was speaking with a woman about communication regarding his public image and potential blog engagements. The conversation shifted to arranging visits with family members, though the discussion included suggesting that visitors bring cash. Prison policies restrict visitors from bringing money, though coins for vending machines are permitted.

The situation escalated when the woman added a third person to the call, an unidentified man, leading to a violation of the rules. Diddy later explained to prison officials that his female lawyer had initiated the call and included his public relations representative to draft a statement for The New York Times. He denied discussing blog matters but did not clarify the purpose of contacting the newspaper.

Consequences and Penalties

• Prison officials are recommending a loss of 90 days of phone privileges.
• Diddy might also lose 90 days of commissary privileges.

This ruling was filed on November 4, but the outcome remains unclear. Despite this, Diddy has secured a job as a chaplain’s assistant at Fort Dix. This role is generally seen as preferable to other prison jobs, which often involve more labor-intensive duties.

Diddy’s Path in Prison

In addition to his work, Diddy is undergoing intensive treatment for substance abuse through the Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP). Participation in this program can lead to a sentence reduction of up to one year for inmates.

As Diddy adjusts to life in prison, the unique challenges he faces reflect the complexities of his situation as a high-profile inmate. His recent personal call highlights the issues that come with incarceration and the strict regulations in place within the prison system.
