Sean “Diddy” Combs has hit back after reports surfaced alleging that the disgraced rapper was caught drinking homemade alcohol behind bars – just days after being transferred to a new correctional facility.

According to a report from TMZ published Friday, November 7, Combs (who is currently serving his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix in New Jersey) was allegedly caught drinking a DIY concoction made from Fanta soda, sugar, and apples.

The mixture, often dubbed “prison wine,” reportedly ferments for about two weeks before being consumed.

The outlet also claimed that prison officials briefly considered relocating the 56-year-old to another unit after the incident, but ultimately decided to let him remain where he was.

Diddy Responds to the Allegations

A spokesperson for Combs was quick to respond to the growing speculation, telling PEOPLE that the claims were completely untrue.

“There have been several false and reckless reports circulating about Mr. Combs,” the spokesperson said.

“He has not violated any prison rules. His sobriety and self-discipline are priorities, and he is taking them seriously.”

The statement continued, addressing the rumors directly: “This is only his first week at FCI Fort Dix, and unfortunately, rumors will surface throughout his time there.

"We ask the public and the press to give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth, and the grace to move forward in peace.”

A similar message appeared on Combs’ official X account on Saturday, November 8, calling the reports “completely false.”

“The rumors claiming Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false,” the post read.

“His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family.”

Inside Diddy’s Life Behind Bars

The Grammy-winning producer was sentenced to 50 months in prison in October after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

He was transferred from the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn (where he had been held since his 2024 arrest) to FCI Fort Dix on October 30.

Combs’ legal team had requested the transfer, citing harsh conditions at MDC and asking that he be placed at Fort Dix for better access to drug rehabilitation and family visitation.

“In order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts, we request that the court strongly recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be placed at FCI Fort Dix,” his attorney, Teny Geragos, wrote in the filing.

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, who presided over the case, supported the request and recommended that Combs be enrolled in any available substance-abuse treatment programs during his incarceration.

In the early hours of Sunday, (February 2) music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was reportedly rushed to hospital.

The founder of Bad Boy Records was cuffed by Homeland Security Investigations at a New York City hotel back in September and is currently facing federal criminal charges in an alleged sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

The music mogul, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, has been denied bail on three separate occasions.

According to sources who spoke to PEOPLE, Combs has settled into life at the detention center, spending time playing card games and basketball with fellow inmates during recreational hours. He also receives weekday visits from family members.

“He’s well-liked inside prison,” a former inmate told the outlet. “People are getting along with him."

Now, according to sources (via Page Six), the 55-year-old entrepreneur was taken to the emergency room around 3AM on Sunday by his security team.

He began experiencing severe stomach pains so the hospital conducted a series of tests and determined that Diddy was suffering from acute gastritis, likely triggered by a combination of stress and poor dietary choices. He was treated and released later that morning, with doctors advising rest and a modified diet.

A representative for Diddy has not yet commented on the incident.

Diddy, known for his influential career in the music industry and various business ventures, has maintained a busy schedule in recent months, including the launch of a new fashion line and ongoing work with his record label. It's unclear if this health scare will impact his upcoming projects.

Combs’ bid for bail has been denied three times. His first request was rejected during his September 17 arraignment, one day after his arrest in a Manhattan hotel room. On September 18, a second judge denied bail due to concerns about witness tampering. His third request, denied on November 27, cited the severity of the charges and the potential danger he poses to the community.

As more information becomes available, updates will be provided on Diddy's condition and any potential effects on his professional commitments.

Sean "Diddy" Combs’ Halloween prison meal has been revealed as the disgraced rapper will spend the holiday in jail.

Combs, who was convicted earlier this year on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, is serving a 50-month sentence.

He was acquitted of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges, but his incarceration has been anything but uneventful.

A Stark Contrast To Past Halloweens

This time two years ago, Diddy dominated headlines for his screen-accurate Batman costume, arriving in full character at The Highlight Room in Hollywood.

This year, his Halloween looked vastly different - featuring no costume, no guests, and certainly no champagne.

According to PEOPLE, the 55-year-old's October 31 begins at 6AM with a breakfast of fruit, a scoop of cereal, a breakfast pastry, and skim milk - sweetened only with a few packets of kosher sugar.

Lunch at 11AM will offer baked fish or black beans with rice pilaf, spinach, coleslaw, and whole wheat bread.

Dinner will follow after a 4PM headcount, and it will be a turkey roast with gravy, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, and bread and butter. Vegetarians could opt for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead.

Notably absent from the menu is Candy - a far cry from the indulgent spreads typically found at Combs’ lavish soirées.

He also missed a personal milestone this year: his youngest daughter, Love, recently turned three, and this Halloween marked her first trick-or-treating experience without her father.

Safety Fears After Alleged Knife Threat

Adding to the bleak atmosphere surrounding his incarceration, Combs is reportedly facing serious safety threats behind bars.

His longtime friend Charlucci Finney told the Daily Mail that the rapper awoke one night with a makeshift knife at his throat, the act allegedly carried out by another inmate.

“If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed,” Finney said. “It would only take a second to cut his throat with a weapon and kill him.”

Finney believes the attack was intended as a warning rather than an attempt on his life. “It was probably a way to say: ‘Next time you ain’t gonna be so lucky.’ Everything is intimidation. But with Sean, it won’t work. Sean is from Harlem.”

The incident has added urgency to ongoing efforts by Combs’ legal team to secure a transfer to FCI Fort Dix, a lower-security facility in New Jersey.

His attorneys, including Mark Geragos and Brian Steel, previously raised concerns about poor conditions and threats of sexual violence within MDC Brooklyn.

According to Finney, Combs has kept much of his prison experience private in an attempt to shield his family from worry. “But if you're in jail and you've been charged with anything sexual, it's not a good place to be,” he added.

Legal Battle Continues

Combs’ lawyers have filed an appeal challenging both his conviction and sentencing. Meanwhile, speculation swirled around the possibility of a presidential commutation.

While TMZ reported that Donald Trump was considering a pardon, the president told Newsmax, “I would say so,” when asked if he would deny clemency, citing a strained relationship with Combs during his time in office.

For now, Diddy remains imprisoned. His next Halloween and possible reunion with his children will have to wait until at least 2028.
