Sean “Diddy” Combs denied allegations that he was caught drinking alcohol while serving his prison sentence at the low-security Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute in New Jersey. “The rumors claiming Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false,” the Bad Boy Records founder’s team wrote in a statement posted via X Saturday. “His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family.” Combs’ team spoke out after he was accused of drinking a “homemade alcohol” recipe, which includes mixing and fermenting sugar, Fanta soda and apples, TMZ reported Friday. Despite sources telling the outlet that the disgraced music mogul was in “trouble with prison officials,” an official for the prison claimed there was “no information” about the allegations. Additionally, a rep for Combs told Page Six that he was “focused on adjusting, working on himself, and doing better each day” after relocating to the prison site late last month. “As with any high-profile individual in a new environment, there will be many rumors and exaggerated stories throughout his time there—most of them untrue,” the spokesperson said. “We ask that people give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth with grace and purpose.” Combs, 56, alleged that he was “sober for the first time in 25 years” ahead of being sentenced to four years and two months in prison last month. “I’m on a journey that will take time and hard work,” he wrote in a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian. “I’m proud to say I’m working harder than I ever have before. I’m committed to the journey of remaining a drug-free, non-violent and peaceful person. I thank God that I’m stronger, wiser, clean, clear and sober. God makes no mistakes.” As a part of his sentencing, Combs was also ordered to partake in mental health and substance abuse programs and pay a $500,000 fine. Combs was initially arrested in New York City in September 2024 and found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution in July. At the time, the Revolt co-founder was held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY.
