Incarcerated music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs shells out thousands of dollars a month to replicate his former luxurious lifestyle behind bars, according to a new report.
A revolving “staff” of fellow inmates cook, clean, make his bed, do his laundry and give him Chinese-style massages, NBC News reported Tuesday, citing four men who have done the work, and drawing from photos and video.
Cuisine includes chicken curry, empanadas and pizza, fashioned using a makeshift heating element submerged in water, the sources told the network. Guards smuggle in high-end liquor, including Hennessy cognac.
Some of Diddy’s fellow inmates collect his fan mail in their own cells because “he doesn’t have room for it” given the volume, one of them told NBC News. They also safeguard his contraband cellphone, which he reportedly uses to ogle nude photos. They’re paid with funds deposited from outside the prison into their commissary accounts.
The billionaire hip-hop honcho also watches movies and documentaries on a “jailbroken” tablet he’s gotten hold of, two sources said. One of his viewing choices was the Netflix docuseries about him, Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which caused its producer and longtime Combs nemesis 50 Cent no end of amusement.
“Hahahahaha check out my Emmy award wing doc Sean Combs the Reckoning available on Netflix coming to a prison near you,” the rapper wrote on Instagram. “LOL STREET FIGHTER.”
50 Cent also reposted NBC’s Instagram video about the story, captioned, “lol this fool is not gonna listen to nobody, he is the gay jhon Gotti!”
Combs is about a year into serving an initial 50-month sentence at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, after being convicted in July 2025 of transporting people for prostitution.
He was acquitted of more serious racketeering and other charges that could have landed him in prison for life. An appeal on the convictions is still pending.
He also faces numerous civil lawsuits, many related to the “freak-off” sex parties he allegedly forced women to participate in with paid male escorts who were transported across state and international lines for the multiday, drug-fueled orgies.
In July Combs was placed in solitary confinement after brawling with another inmate. Upon rejoining the general prison population about three weeks later, he resumed his prison lavish lifestyle right where he’d left off, according to NBC News. – New York Daily News/TNS
