In the clip, he wore a brown knit cap, a scarf over his shoulder, and a blue coat. However, he soon removed the scarf and coat to reveal his gray prison uniform.
After a while, the “Finna Get Loose” rapper put the jacket back on before taking his leave.
This isn’t the first time Diddy has been seen going about his life in prison, as a previous video showed him without his cap, chatting with other inmates in the hall. He was also seen talking to a group of men outside the prison yard when he first arrived at Fort Dix several weeks ago.

The Rapper Was Recently Moved To FCI Fort Dix After His Stint At MDC
Diddy is currently serving a 50-month prison sentence at the New Jersey jail after he was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He was also ordered to pay a fine of $500,000 and is expected to be released in the summer of 2028, as the year he spent locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn counts toward his sentence.
The music mogul was transferred to the low-security prison after requesting a move because he wanted to participate in rehabilitation programs, particularly the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), and to be closer to his family.

Diddy Has Already Gotten Into Trouble Behind Bars
According to the news outlet, inmates would allow it to ferment for up to two weeks, thereby turning it into an alcoholic substance.
He was also revealed to have participated in a three-way call, which the Bureau of Prisons frowns upon for fear that inmates could coordinate criminal activities with it.
In prison documents obtained by CBS News, Diddy allegedly planned to use the call to issue a statement to the New York Times as he spoke with an unnamed woman about contacting “the digital person” about blogs. The woman then asked if she should add the said person, to which Diddy replied, “Yes.”
The Rapper Demanded Cash Be Brought For Him During The Phone Call: ‘200 Singles’
In the November 3 call, Diddy also spoke with the woman about arranging visitors for the weekend, and suggested they bring “200 singles.” It’s unknown how he intends to spend the cash, as prison guidelines bar visitors from bringing any currency other than coins for the vending machine.
According to the news outlet, Diddy later shared that he was talking to his lawyer and that she added the head of legal communication to work on a statement for him to veto and send to the publication.
However, the Bad Boy Records founder claimed no one told him about the phone regulation and that he never received the prison admission and orientation handbook.
Prison officials recommended he lose 90 days each of phone and commissary privileges, but it remains unclear if the punishment has been implemented.

Diddy’s Rep Denies The Reports That He Drank Alcohol
Sources close to the “I’m Coming Home” rapper have since denied reports he violated prison guidelines with his family, saying they’re “completely false,” and that his “only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family.”
In a statement shared with People Magazine, a spokesperson said, “There have been several false and reckless reports circulating about Mr. Combs. He has not violated any prison rules. His sobriety and self-discipline are priorities, and he is taking them seriously.”
“This is only his first week at FCI Fort Dix, and unfortunately, rumors will surface throughout his time there,” they went on. “We ask the public and the press to give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth, and the grace to move forward in peace.”
However, sources close to Diddy told TMZ that the reports he drank homemade alcohol in prison “is 100 percent true.”
As for the three-way call, they noted that it was strictly personal and that he was chatting with two family members, claiming that the call had nothing to do with issuing a statement to the NYT.
Diddy’s release date has now been extended by almost a month from the initial May 8, 2028, to June 4, 2028.
