Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ gray hair, beard on display in new mugshot from New Jersey prison
Sean “Diddy” Combs’s latest mugshot since being sentenced to 50 months in prison has been released.
In the snap, obtained by CBS News and taken at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey, the “Act Bad” rapper looked stoic as he faced the camera.
Combs sported a gray beard and hair, a notable difference from his pre-prison look.
Combs’ new mugshot was taken upon his arrival at his new prison, where he works as a chaplain’s assistant and is enrolled in an intensive drug treatment program, according to court documents obtained by CBS News.
However, the transition to his new home hasn’t been smooth sailing.
Last week, TMZ reported that Combs, 56, got in “trouble with prison officials” at Fort Dix for consuming “homemade alcohol.”
The outlet reported that the DIY recipe he was caught drinking involves sugar, Fanta soda and apples, which are mixed and fermented for two weeks to make an alcoholic beverage.
A rep for Combs, however, denied the allegations, writing on the rapper’s official X account that the “rumors” were “completely false.”
“His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family,” the tweet read.
Additionally, CBS reported that Combs made an unauthorized three-person phone call on Nov. 3, which he claimed was to his legal team. As a result of the call, the “I’ll Be Missing You” emcee now faces disciplinary action.
In July, Combs was found not guilty on two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and on racketeering conspiracy. However, he was convicted on two counts of prostitution.
Last month, the first photos of the rapper since his arrest last September were released.
In the snap, Combs was photographed laughing as he enjoyed his recreation time outside FCI Fort Dix.
The Bad Boy Records founder is set to be released from prison on May 8, 2028.
