From multimillion-dollar mansions to the prison yard, Sean “Diddy” Combs was spotted walking outside FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey in the first photos published since he was arrested last September.
In the snapshots obtained by TMZ, the All About the Benjamins hit maker was seen wearing an orange prison beanie and a navy blue jacket while walking around during his recreation time in the brisk 10-degree weather on Saturday.
Combs also displayed a full face of grey hair.
Page Six has reached out to Combs’ rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Last month, Combs, 55, was sentenced to serve four years and two months behind bars after he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He was also ordered to pay the court a fine of $US500,000 ($A765,000) as well as participate in programs for his mental health and substance abuse issues.
While Combs’ punishment drew criticism for how light it was, one of his friends claimed the Act Bad singer hasn’t exactly had an easy time behind bars.
Last week, Charlucci Finney — a known longtime acquaintance of Combs — claimed the rapper once “woke up with a knife to his throat” in his Metropolitan Detention Centre jail cell in Brooklyn, New York.
“I don’t know whether he fought him off or the guards came,” Finney added, without specifying when this allegedly took place. “I just know that it happened.”
Finney went on to speculate that the frightening encounter was meant as a threat, but Combs’ attacker wasn’t actually intending to harm him.
“If this guy had wanted to harm him, Sean would have been harmed,” Finney claimed. “It would only take a second to cut his throat with a weapon and kill him.
This past Monday, it was revealed that Combs’ expected release date is set for May 8, 2028.
The dad of seven was held in the Metropolitan Detention Centre jail throughout his trial.
He was later moved to the New Jersey federal prison after receiving his 50-month sentence.
