Sean Combs, known as Diddy, 55, was reportedly caught drinking homemade prison moonshine in his cell despite claiming sobriety to a judge. Guards at Fort Dix in New Jersey allegedly saw him with the makeshift alcohol, prompting authorities to consider moving him to another unit as punishment.
Sources revealed to TMZ that the homemade drink is made from Fanta, sugar, and apples, which ferments for weeks to produce alcohol. Although officials initially planned to transfer him, they later reversed their decision, allowing him to remain in his current unit.
During his trial, Diddy repeatedly told the court that his time in custody had given him clarity and helped him become sober. He admitted to being high or drunk every day for 25 years and blamed substance abuse for losing his way in life.
"The old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you - I choose to live," he wrote in a letter to the judge before sentencing.
Photos emerged showing Diddy behind bars for the first time, with a scraggly beard and grey hair, contrasting with his usual well-groomed image as he interacted with other inmates.
Summary: Despite insisting on sobriety, Diddy was reportedly caught drinking homemade alcohol in prison, reflecting ongoing struggles amid his efforts for personal change during incarceration.
