Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly imbibing in prison.
The music mogul has been in “trouble with prison officials” at Fort Dix for consuming “homemade alcohol,” sources told TMZ on Friday.
The outlet reported that the DIY recipe he was caught drinking involves sugar, Fanta soda and apples, which are mixed and fermented for two weeks to make an alcoholic beverage.
Officials at the low-security prison — where Combs, 56, is serving four years for prostitution-related charges — had reportedly decided to move him from his old unit to a new one.

However, multiple sources told the outlet that the decision has been reversed and he will remain in his original unit. A prison official told the outlet that they had “no information” about the alleged incident.
“Mr. Combs is in his first week at FCI Fort Dix and is focused on adjusting, working on himself, and doing better each day,” a rep for Combs told Page Six on Friday.
“As with any high-profile individual in a new environment, there will be many rumors and exaggerated stories throughout his time there—most of them untrue. We ask that people give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth with grace and purpose.”
Prior to his sentencing last month, the Sean John designer claimed in a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian that he was “sober for the first time in 25 years.”
“I can’t change the past, but I can change the future,” he wrote at the time, while pleading “for mercy.”
“I know that God put me here to transform me. Since incarceration, I have gone through a spiritual reset,” he continued.
“I’m on a journey that will take time and hard work. I’m proud to say I’m working harder than I ever have before. I’m committed to the journey of remaining a drug free, non-violent and peaceful person. I thank God that I’m stronger, wiser, clean, clear and sober. God makes no mistakes.”
A day later, on Oct. 3, the Manhattan federal court sentenced the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper to four years and two months in prison.
