Former Phoenix Suns guard, Sean 'Diddy' Combs seen hanging out in prison

Sean "Diddy" Combs and former NBA player Sebastian Telfair are both incarcerated at FCI Fort Dix federal prison in New Jersey, where they were photographed together in the prison yard, as reported by TMZ on November 3. The two share a connection as New York City legends who have become prison mates.

Combs, a 55-year-old renowned rapper and entrepreneur famous for Bad Boy Records, Sean John clothing line, Ciroc Vodka, and Revolt TV, began serving a 50-month sentence on October 30. His sentence includes participation in a drug treatment program and is intended to allow him to be near his family. In a letter to the judge, Combs expressed remorse, stating, "I lost my way," and his lawyers are currently appealing his conviction and sentence, with a scheduled release date of May 8, 2028.

Telfair, a 40-year-old former NBA guard who played from 2005 to 2015, started a six-month prison sentence in August following his March 2023 conviction for involvement in a $4 million NBA healthcare fraud scheme. He had agreed to a plea deal but was imprisoned for allegedly failing to report to the U.S. Probation Office and not meeting the terms of his supervised release. Telfair gained fame as a high school phenom featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated in 2004 and played for multiple teams, including the Phoenix Suns, where he appeared in 106 games from 2011 to 2013.

Both Combs and Telfair are seeking a pardon from Donald Trump to expedite their release from prison, adding to their shared circumstances as inmates at Fort Dix.
