Diddy has officially traded luxury for laundry duty. The music mogul, whose lavish lifestyle once made headlines, is now assigned to wash, dry, and fold clothes inside FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Jersey. According to insiders, this marks his first work assignment since his transfer, a stark shift from the days when he relied on assistants to handle even the simplest tasks. During his criminal trial, prosecutors revealed that Diddy often had staff members charge his phone and bring him water, illustrating just how far removed his current circumstances are from the life he once lived.
Combs arrived at FCI Fort Dix early Thursday morning to begin the intake process after being moved from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he had been held since his September 2024 arrest. The transfer represents a noticeable improvement in conditions. Unlike the stricter Brooklyn facility, Fort Dix allows inmates more freedom within the compound, along with access to work programs, recreation areas, and educational opportunities.
Under federal prison regulations, nearly all inmates are required to work unless they qualify for a medical exemption. Jobs like Diddy’s laundry role keep daily operations running smoothly while offering structure and basic skill development. His duties now include sorting, washing, and folding garments using industrial-grade equipment before returning them to the general prison population. Instead of designer wardrobes, he’s now handling durable prison uniforms and linens built to withstand heavy use.
The Bureau of Prisons has estimated Combs’ release date for May 8, 2028, based on his 50-month sentence. However, that could change depending on his conduct and participation in rehabilitation programs. His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, remains hopeful, saying he believes Diddy will regain his freedom before that projected date — though he didn’t provide specifics on how soon that might be.
