In a dramatic twist that contradicts his courtroom statements, music mogul Diddy has been allegedly caught drinking homemade prison alcohol in his cell.
The Contraband Discovery
Guards at the Fort Dix federal facility in New Jersey reportedly discovered the disgraced rapper with the illicit booze. According to sources speaking to TMZ, Diddy was caught making the alcohol using a concoction of Fanta, sugar, and apples. This mixture is typically left to ferment for several weeks by inmates to create a potent, homemade moonshine.
The incident prompted authorities to initially seek a punitive transfer, looking to move him to a new unit within the prison. However, in a surprising reversal, officials reportedly later decided to let him remain in his current housing.
A Stark Contradiction in Court
This alleged infraction stands in stark contrast to the image Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, presented to the court during his high-profile trial. He had repeatedly insisted that his time in custody had finally allowed him to achieve sobriety after decades of substance abuse.
He told the court that he had been continuously high or drunk for 25 consecutive years, blaming substances for leading him astray. In a heartfelt letter to the judge before his sentencing, he wrote, '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.'
Fallout and Implications
The discovery of the homemade moonshine now throws his claims of a sober rebirth into serious question. This incident not only highlights the challenges of contraband control within the prison system but also potentially undermines the narrative of personal reform that was a central theme of his legal defence.
It remains to be seen what, if any, further consequences Diddy will face from the prison authorities or the court following this report.
