Sean “Diddy” Combs has apparently broken a prison rule.
According to a TMZ report published Friday, November 7, the disgraced music mogul, 56, indulged in “homemade alcohol” made from Fanta soda, sugar and apples behind bars. (TMZ explained that the mixture is then fermented for two weeks to become alcohol.)
Per the outlet, correctional officers caught the rapper drinking the substance and initially planned to move him into a new unit, but allegedly decided against it.
According to September court documents obtained by TMZ, Diddy declared he was sober for the first time in 25 years at the time — but that no longer seems to be the case.

As the National Enquirer previously reported, the musician is currently serving a four-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey, as he was convicted on two counts of transporting individuals to engage in prostitution in July.
The former Bad Boy Records founder was transferred from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York — where he remained during his trial — to Fort Dix on October 30.
“He really believed he’d get out with time served, his lawyers promised,” the source explained, noting “he’s terrified of coming out of jail totally broke.”
