Diddy's Secret Prison 'Payroll': Inmates Allegedly Paid To Cook, Clean and Make His Bed

Sean 'Diddy' Combs has allegedly assembled a network of fellow inmates who cook his meals, clean for him, make his bed and do his laundry as the music mogul serves his sentence at Fort Dix federal prison in New Jersey.

Four men who spent time in the same unit as Combs told NBC News that the 56-year-old has been able to maintain an unusually catered lifestyle behind bars, allegedly spending thousands of dollars a month on services and other comforts.

'This is not some normal s--- you see in jail. This is some rich s---,' one former inmate said. 'It looks crazy, but again, it's Diddy.'

Diddy Allegedly Spends Thousands on Prison 'Payroll'

Combs has allegedly spent thousands of dollars each month maintaining his lifestyle at the low-security facility, according to the report. Sources claimed money from people outside Fort Dix is transferred into the commissary accounts of inmates who perform tasks for Combs.

Those services reportedly range from basic chores to preparing food, with one inmate allegedly cleaning toilet and shower areas before Combs uses them. Others reportedly make his bed, wash his clothes and hold on to his phone and large amounts of fan mail.

'He's a billionaire. People are in awe of him,' one source told NBC News. 'Money is power, especially behind bars.'

Inmates Reportedly Cook Special Meals for Diddy

Combs has also allegedly paid inmates to prepare food beyond standard prison meals.

Sources said prisoners secretly cooked curry chicken, pizza and empanadas using a makeshift heating element submerged in water.

'After a while, I got tired of cooking,' one man who said he prepared food for Combs recalled. 'He started going to the Jamaicans.'

Another inmate reportedly provided Combs with Chinese-style massages.

The claims form part of a wider NBC News investigation based on interviews with four men who spent time alongside Combs, as well as photos and videos reviewed by the outlet.

Contraband Phones and Alcohol Alleged at Fort Dix

Combs has also allegedly gained access to contraband while incarcerated.

Multiple sources claimed he used mobile phones to browse Instagram and obtained Remeron, an antidepressant that they said is also traded on the prison black market.

Sources further alleged that premium alcohol was smuggled into the facility and shared among a small group of inmates. One man claimed he drank Hennessy with Combs.

Two sources also said Combs obtained a 'jailbroken' tablet and used it to watch films and documentaries, including Sean Combs: The Reckoning, the Netflix docuseries produced by his longtime rival 50 Cent.

Fort Dix Faces Wider Contraband Problem

The allegations emerge as Fort Dix faces broader scrutiny over contraband.

Federal prosecutors announced on 16 September that five people, including a current and former Fort Dix corrections officer, had been charged over an alleged scheme to smuggle prohibited items into the prison. Prosecutors said the alleged contraband included mobile phones, marijuana and knives.

The charges are accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told NBC News that contraband, particularly phones, narcotics and weapons, remains a 'constant challenge' for correctional agencies.

Diddy's Spokesperson Responds to Prison Claims

Combs' spokesperson pushed back against the attention surrounding his conditions at Fort Dix.

'The continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs's life in prison has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news,' the spokesperson said.

'The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence while awaiting the court's decision on his appeal.'

Combs is serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution. A New York jury acquitted him of sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
