Sean “Diddy” Combs is getting down and dirty in federal prison, where his first job as an inmate is cleaning and drying laundry.

TMZ reports that the 55-year-old disgraced Bad Boy Records mogul will be stationed in the laundry room — a far cry from the height of his hip-hop and entrepreneurial glory days — at New Jersey’s FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison about 80 miles southwest of Midtown Manhattan.

The outlet previously reported that Combs, who is serving four years for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, started his prison sentence Tuesday at Fort Dix. There, he will reside in the special drug program unit, rather than amongst the general population, sources told ABC News.

Diddy was held for more than a year at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, following his September 2024 arrest. He has a projected release date of May 8, 2028.

“I’m not this larger-than-life person. I’m just a human being. … I got lost in the excess. I got lost in my ego,” an emotional Combs said earlier this month at his sentencing. “I lost my career. I totally destroyed my reputation. But most of all, I lost my self-respect. … I hate myself right now. I been stripped down to nothing. I really am truly sorry for it all, no matter what they say.”

Combs was facing life behind bars, had he been found guilty on the counts for sex trafficking and racketeering when his trial concluded in early July.

The charges stem from the “freak-offs,” or “elaborate sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, and often electronically recorded.”
