A rep for Sean “Diddy” Combs has defended the imprisoned rapper amid allegations he was caught consuming alcohol while in custody at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.
Combs had been caught consuming a concoction of fermented Fanta, sugar and apples, sources said. TMZ Friday.
The disgraced music mogul “did not violate any prison rules,” his spokesperson said, adding that the music artist was seeking to remain clean while serving his sentence.
“His sobriety and self-discipline are priorities,” they said, adding “and he takes them seriously.”
Combs’ rep also said that “this is only his first week at FCI Fort Dix, and unfortunately, rumors will surface throughout his time there.”
The rapper’s spokesperson also said, “We ask the public and press to give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal development, and the grace to move forward in peace.”
A separate statement was posted to the Combs X account on Saturday, but it appears to have been deleted.
It read: “The rumors that Mr. Combs was caught drinking alcohol are completely false. His only goal is to become the best version of himself and return to his family.”
Last month, the producer was sentenced to four years and two months in federal prison in connection with his July prostitution conviction.
On October 30, Sean “Diddy” Combs was transferred from the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) to the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix (FCI Fort Dix) in New Jersey.
