American musician and businessman Sean “P. Diddy” Combs looked almost unrecognizable in a new image released by the American television channel CBS. He was arrested in the United States and appears in court with gray hair and a beard.
This photo was taken days after he was transferred to a low-security prison at a federal facility in Fort Dix, New Jersey. Previously, he was in a prison in the Brooklyn area of New York.
Diddy was found guilty in July on two Mann Act-related charges and sentenced in October to 50 months, or four years and two months, followed by five years’ probation. A jury has found the music mogul guilty of transportation for the purpose of prostitution in two incidents involving two of his ex-girlfriends.
According to CBS, the rapper is being disciplined for violating rules against phone calls in prison. The outlet also claims he has a job in the prison chapel and is participating in a chemical dependency program.
TMZ recently reported that Diddy was consuming alcoholic beverages in prison. An American website states that inmates were caught drinking a homemade drink made with soda, sugar and apples and fermented.
Diddy’s family, which manages his social media, released a statement denying the news. “Rumors that Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false. His focus is on becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family,” the text reads.
