\n\tSean Combs<\/a> was reportedly placed back in solitary confinement following a NBC News<\/a> report that the music mogul was using a contraband cellphone to scroll on Instagram, kept a private stash of premium liquor, and had access to a jailbroken tablet where he watched a Netflix documentary about himself. <\/p>\n \n\tThe 56-year-old was put in a special housing unit, both NBC<\/a> and TMZ<\/a> have reported, after footage was released of Combs seemingly using a cell phone while serving his 50-month sentence at Fort Dix in New Jersey. This would be Combs\u2019 second time placed in isolation, following a physical fight with a fellow inmate in July<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tLast year, Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution following a high-profile criminal trial. Combs recently had his release date bumped up to January 2028, though it is unclear if the apparent violation will push back his homecoming.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tIn a statement, Combs\u2019 spokesperson chalked up the reporting of Combs\u2019 time behind bars as sensationalization of \u201cordinary prison life,\u201d adding that \u201cthe only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence while awaiting the court\u2019s decision on his appeal.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAccording to NBC News, Combs had been enjoying a relatively pampered stay at the low-security federal correctional facility. The one-time billionaire reportedly had been directing thousands of dollars to fellow inmates in exchange for favors, including cooking him gourmet meals, and scrubbing down showers and toilets before he uses them. \u201cHe\u2019s a billionaire. People are in awe of him,\u201d one source told the outlet. \u201cMoney is power, especially behind bars.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBut beyond basic \u201cpampering,\u201d Combs allegedly has managed to secure contraband. He reportedly has a stash of Hennessy liquor, buys Remeron pills, a mood-boosting antidepressant drug, possess a jail-breaked tablet that he used to watch Netflix\u2019s 50 Cent-produced docuseries about him, and has a cell phone that he uses to scroll on Instagram and view nude photos from an ex-girlfriend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
