Sean Combs, better known as Puffy or P Diddy, is back in the headlines this week as he marks his fifty-sixth birthday from behind bars at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute in New Jersey. The music mogul and entrepreneur has reportedly been telling fellow inmates that a presidential pardon from Donald Trump is on the horizon, claiming Trump will help secure his early release by 2026, as reported by TMZ and Us Weekly. These claims have sparked debate both inside and outside the prison, while the White House has already labeled the reports “fake news,” adamantly denying any ongoing pardon discussions, according to The National News Desk.

Diddy was sentenced in October 2024 to fifty months in prison after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution under the Mann Act. Crucially, he was acquitted of more severe charges such as racketeering and sex trafficking. After his conviction, Combs was moved from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to Fort Dix. The new facility is reportedly more comfortable, with dormitory-style housing, outdoor time, and a variety of commissary items, noted in reports from Us Weekly and RadarOnline.com.

Behind the scenes, Combs is said to be vowing to look after his fellow inmates once freed, reinforcing the rumors of his optimism for an early exit. He has also been spotted spending time in the prison yard with former NBA player Sebastian Telfair, who is serving time at the same facility, as detailed by RadarOnline.com.

In the business world, Diddy’s partnership with Diageo over the popular vodka brand Cîroc continues to draw attention. AfroTech highlights his recent comments about not having equity in Cîroc, describing it as part of the often challenging journey faced by Black entrepreneurs in corporate America. Despite legal battles and setbacks in the spirits industry, Combs shared that he has no regrets, emphasizing the value of the journey and his ownership over other ventures.
