Music mogul Sean «Diddy» Combs has officially begun serving his federal prison sentence, marking the start of what will be more than two years behind bars. The hip-hop icon, sentenced to 50 months in prison, checked into FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal correctional institution in New Jersey, early Thursday morning.
According to law enforcement sources, Diddy was transferred to the facility overnight and began the standard check-in process shortly after arriving. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that his request to serve his sentence at this particular location was approved, following the decision of Judge Arun Subramanian.
Diddy's new reality at Fort Dix
Located about 40 miles from Philadelphia, Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution houses more than 3,000 inmates and is known for its relatively low-security environment. Inmates are typically allowed to work, take educational courses, and participate in rehabilitation programs while serving their time.
While the facility is considered one of the less restrictive in the federal system, privacy and luxury are non-existent, marking a dramatic change for Diddy, whose lavish lifestyle once defined hip-hop excess. He'll now share communal living spaces, follow strict schedules, and adjust to a far simpler daily routine.
The rapper and producer - who once stood at the center of music, fashion, and business empires - faces the biggest challenge of his career and life. Once known for his extravagant parties and multimillion-dollar ventures, Diddy now begins a starkly different chapter defined by confinement and rehabilitation.
His legal team has not commented since his transfer, but sources close to the artist suggest he plans to focus on reflection and personal growth during his incarceration.
The 50-month sentence represents a significant moment in the ongoing saga of one of the entertainment industry's most influential figures, whose downfall has captured worldwide attention.
While it remains unclear if Diddy will serve the full term, early release for good behavior is possible under federal guidelines, meaning he could regain his freedom in just over two years.
For now, the man who once sang about «Can't Nobody Hold Me Down» must face a very different reality - one that's bound by rules, routine, and reflection.
