Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of maintaining an unusually comfortable lifestyle behind bars, with fellow inmates allegedly handling personal chores for him while he accesses contraband and receives special treatment.

Combs, 56, is serving a 50-month federal sentence at the low-security Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey after being convicted in 2025 on two counts involving transportation for prostitution. He was acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

Four men who spent time in Combs’ prison unit said he has other inmates cooking for him, cleaning his living area, making his bed and doing his laundry. One inmate allegedly provides him with Chinese-style massages.

Photos and videos obtained during a recent investigation appear to show Combs using a contraband cellphone inside the facility. Sources also alleged that he has used illicit phones to browse Instagram and view sexually explicit photographs sent by a former girlfriend.

Combs has also been accused of purchasing the antidepressant Remeron from other inmates and sharing premium liquor that was allegedly smuggled into the prison.

His alleged privileges reportedly come at a high cost. People outside the prison are said to transfer thousands of dollars each month to commissary accounts belonging to inmates who perform services for Combs.

Those services allegedly include cleaning bathroom facilities before Combs uses them and preparing special meals such as curry chicken, pizza and empanadas.

The allegations come as Fort Dix faces a broader contraband problem. Federal prosecutors this month charged five people, including a current and former corrections officer, in an alleged scheme to smuggle cellphones, marijuana, knives and other prohibited items into the prison. Prosecutors allege that more than $100,000 was transferred among the alleged conspirators through payment applications.

A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said the agency does not discuss individual inmates because of privacy and security concerns but acknowledged that contraband, including cellphones and narcotics, remains a persistent challenge.

Combs’ spokesperson disputed the portrayal of his time in prison, arguing that media scrutiny has turned “ordinary prison life” into news and emphasizing that Combs remains incarcerated while awaiting a decision on his appeal.

Combs initially entered Fort Dix’s drug treatment program after arriving at the facility but was later removed from it. He also spent time in solitary confinement following a fight with another inmate.

After returning to the general population, sources said the group of inmates providing services to Combs quickly reassembled, highlighting the influence money can have inside the federal prison.
