Sean “Diddy” Combs’ first job in prison at Fort Dix is reportedly taking care of prisoners’ laundry needs.
Per TMZ, the music mogul will earn his keep in federal prison by washing and drying clothes. The job is somewhat poetic, as federal prosecutors claimed during his trial that Diddy's personal assistants were doing practically everything for him while he sat behind bars.
Reports of Diddy’s new job come a little over a day after law enforcement sources said he was transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to begin his 50-month prison sentence.
When Diddy’s legal team requested that he serve his sentence at the facility, they alleged that he would be able to “address drug abuse issues” and “maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts.”
Diddy will serve the 50-month sentence for violating the Mann Act until May 8, 2028, his scheduled release date. That takes into account that he’s already been behind bars since last September, plus federal rules mandating that he has to serve at least 85 percent of his time.
The only way that Diddy will be free of prison and folding inmates’ clothes is if he’s able to get a presidential pardon, but that seems unlikely based on President Donald Trump’s latest comments about the situation.
Earlier this month, when asked about pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell while speaking with the media, Trump revealed that Diddy had asked him about receiving one.
"I have had a lot of people ask me for pardons," said Trump. "I call him Puff Daddy, he has asked me for a pardon."
Prior to that, TMZ reported that the president was mulling over the idea of pardoning Diddy. The White House then denied that Trump was considering commuting the mogul’s sentence.
In August, Trump spoke about Diddy’s actions toward him as the reason he wasn’t ready to think about a pardon.
"I got along with him great," Trump told Newsmax. "Seemed like a nice guy. I didn't know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile. ... It's hard."
