Well, it appears fans would get their answer over the Halloween weekend as new pictures of him in his new prison home surfaced online. As we previously told you, at the top of October, Diddy was sentenced to 50 months in prison after he was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was also ordered to pay a $500,000 fine and would be subjected to five years of supervised release.

At first, he was spending his days at the infamous Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. But over the weekend, the disgraced music legend was transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey where he’ll live out the rest of his sentence for the foreseeable future. But don’t worry, as evidenced by new photos obtained exclusively by TMZ, it appears Diddy is acclimating just fine to this new change.

In the first few pictures, the “It’s All About the Benjamins” artist could be seen rocking a nearly full gray beard and wearing a dark blue jacket, gray sweatshirt, matching bottoms, and a gray beanie on his head. He’s surrounded by other inmates outside as he was pictured smiling.

In another snapshot, Diddy switched out his gray beanie for an orange one and can be seen looking in deep thought while standing outside.

As additionally noted by TMZ, despite the friendships Diddy appears to be forging in the yard, he won’t have too much time to socialize as he’ll be responsible for washing and drying dirty laundry at Fort Dix. The prison has also been described as a “low security” institution with its location reportedly being more conducive to family visits for Diddy.

Once the pictures began to make the rounds on social media, fans were quick to comment.

“Dude’s smiling like he already secured the baby oil in prison,” wrote one user on X, formerly Twitter.

“From mansions to prison yards…life has a way of humbling folks,” said another.

“In Fort Dix washing dirty draws is crazy,” one other user added.

Even rapper and Diddy’s nemesis 50 Cent chimed in, writing on Instagram in part on Monday (Nov. 3): “He look happy to me, with all them handsome men around. GOOD MORNING NEW YORK CITY!”
