Sean “Diddy” Combs looked weary and grayer in his first public appearance since being arrested in September 2024. The disgraced musical mogul was seen with a graying beard, dressed in a puffy jacket and orange beanie in photos obtained by TMZ of him at Fort Dix prison in New Jersey, where he was talking in the yard with other inmates. The 55-year-old music mogul requested that he be transferred to Fort Dix to serve his 50-month sentence for his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Previously, Combs was held at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, known for its “grim” conditions, but requested a transfer to the New Jersey facility to be closer to his family and participate in a drug treatment program. At MDC, Combs created a course called “Free Game With Diddy,” where he taught fellow inmates business skills. During his October sentencing, Judge Arun Subramanian told Combs, “You will have the chance to show your children and the world what real accountability and healing look like.” TMZ reports that Combs’ first assignment at the new prison is working in the laundry room, washing and drying clothes. The rapper’s lawyers filed an appeal on Wednesday seeking to reduce his sentence.
