Diddy Looks Unrecognizable In Shocking Photo Behind Bars

A newly released photo of Sean “Diddy” Combs shows a drastically changed man, looking far removed from the celebrity image he once had. The picture was taken at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Jersey, and marks the first public glimpse of Combs since his arrest and conviction earlier this year.

Combs, now 56, was taken into custody on September 16, 2024, following federal charges that included racketeering conspiracy and offenses related to trafficking. After an eight-week trial, the jury convicted him only on prostitution-related counts, clearing him of the more severe allegations.

He was transferred to Fort Dix on October 30 to begin serving his 50-month sentence.

During the trial, jurors heard emotional accounts from two of Combs’ former partners, including singer Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura. Both described years of manipulation and abuse, as well as pressure to participate in troubling “freak-off” events coordinated by Combs.

Inside the prison, Combs is reportedly working in the laundry department and has enrolled in a drug rehabilitation program. Finishing the program successfully and staying out of trouble could reduce his sentence by up to a year, according to officials.

Some media reports allege he has already broken prison rules by drinking illicit alcohol and joining a prohibited three-way phone call. His team denies these accusations, insisting that many claims are inflated due to his fame.

The new mugshot shows him in simple prison attire, with noticeably gray hair and beard, and a fatigued expression — a stark contrast to his former high-profile lifestyle.
