Diddy Begins Term at Fort DIX as Appeal and Rehab Plan Take Shape

Sean “Diddy” Combs has begun serving the remainder of his 50-month federal sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison in southern New Jersey. The move follows a court filing by his lawyers and places the hip-hop mogul in a residential drug-treatment unit closer to his family and New York legal team.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons lists his projected release date as May 8, 2028, accounting for time already served and potential good-time credit.

Combs, 55, was convicted in July of two counts of transporting individuals for commercial sex and was sentenced Oct. 3 to four years and two months in prison, fined $500,000, and ordered into five years of supervised release. He was acquitted of racketeering and coercive sex-trafficking charges.

At sentencing, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said a “substantial sentence must be given to send a message … that exploitation and violence against women is met with real accountability.”

In an Oct. 6 filing, attorney Teny Geragos asked that Combs be placed at Fort Dix so he could “address drug-abuse issues” and “maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts.” Sources confirm he is now housed in a separate unit for inmates in treatment programs.

Before transferring, Combs spent more than a year at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting trial and sentencing. There, he reportedly led a weekly business and leadership course for other inmates called "Free Game with Diddy."

In an interview conducted by journalist Lauren Conlin and published on YouTube in October 2025, former inmate Raymond Castillo — who said he lived in the same unit as Combs — recalled that the artist “brought unity” to the housing block through his program and “showed us that peace is stronger than pride.” Castillo also disputed viral accounts of a “knife-to-the-throat” attack, telling Conlin that no stabbing occurred and that Combs had calmly defused an argument between inmates.

Superthrowbackparty was not able to independently verify any stabbing incident, and Castillo’s account remains the only first-hand description from inside MDC Brooklyn.

Combs has filed a notice of appeal and, according to public statements by Donald Trump, has also requested a presidential pardon. No decision has been announced.

50 Cent Reacts to “Bmf” Cancellation With Viral Lil Meech Post

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson wasted no time turning bad news into internet comedy after Starz officially canceled his hit crime drama “BMF.”

Within hours of the announcement, the G-Unit mogul posted a photoshopped image of actor Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. looking disheveled and homeless, captioned, “What next season, little 🥷🏾 @50centaction,” sparking laughter — and controversy — across social media.

The image, shared Tuesday on Instagram, marked another chapter in 50’s long-running feud with the Flenory family, whose real-life story inspired “Black Mafia Family.” Fans and fellow celebrities flooded the comments — from “50 see a roach & demolishes the building 😂” to “Two things I don’t play with…the IRS and 50 Cent.” Even “BMF” star Kris Lofton chimed in, writing simply, “Sheesh.”

The cancellation ends one of Starz’s most popular crime sagas. “BMF” debuted in 2021 and dramatized the rise and fall of Detroit brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, founders of the Black Mafia Family. The real-life Big Meech remains incarcerated; his son Lil Meech portrayed him in the series.

Despite star-studded cameos from Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Lil Baby, 2 Chainz, Saweetie and others, ratings began to flatten in later seasons. Industry sources told Deadline that Starz’s cost-cutting strategy — shifting toward new, cheaper shows — ultimately sealed “BMF’s” fate, not the behind-the-scenes tension between Jackson and the Flenorys.

Still, the drama between 50 Cent and his former lead actor added fuel. Their relationship reportedly soured after Lil Meech appeared in a promo with Rick Ross, one of 50’s longest-standing rivals. 50 later accused Big Meech of cooperating with federal authorities — an allegation the elder Flenory publicly denied — widening the rift even as production continued.

The series finale, “Dreams Deferred,” aired Aug. 15, 2025, ending with Lil Meech’s character being arrested by Detective Von Bryant (Steve Harris). The real-life ending has been just as dramatic: a hit show abruptly cut short and its creator celebrating online while the cast absorbs the fallout.

Despite the cancellation, 50 Cent retains ownership of the “BMF” film rights and says he’s far from finished. He previously teased plans for an expanded “BMF Immortal Universe” and confirmed multiple spin-offs in development under his G-Unit Film & Television banner, which continues to collaborate with Starz on other “Power” franchise series.

‘How Ya Do Dat’ Rapper Young Bleed Hospitalized in Critical Condition

When Baton Rouge’s own Young Bleed stepped on stage at the Cash Money–No Limit Verzuz event in Las Vegas, the crowd erupted as he launched into his timeless anthem “How Ya Do Dat.” Just days later, the 47-year-old rapper — born Glenn Clifton Jr. — was rushed to the hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm.

According to TMZ, the emergency occurred on October 25, shortly after Bleed’s performance weekend at ComplexCon. He was taken to the ICU, where doctors continue to monitor him around the clock. His family confirms he remains in critical condition.

In the chaos that followed, false reports of his death spread online — prompting a forceful statement from his sister, Tedra Johnson-Spears, who took to social media to set the record straight.

“THIS WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST POST,” she wrote. “WE ARE RECEIVING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CALLS ABOUT MY BIG BROTHER GLENN, TANK, YOUNG BLEED. … HE IS STILL CURRENTLY IN ICU … OUR FAMILY ASKS THAT YOU ALL RESPECT OUR PRIVACY AND NOT MAKE ANY RIP POSTS.”

Her plea came after Bleed’s mother was flooded with calls and condolences from fans who mistakenly believed the rapper had passed away. The family has since asked the public to stop contacting them directly and wait for official updates.

Fellow Baton Rouge legend Master P, who collaborated with Bleed during No Limit’s late-’90s run, confirmed the rapper’s condition and asked followers to pray. “Keep my brother Young Bleed in your prayers,” he posted. “He’s a fighter.”

Bleed’s influence runs deep. Emerging from Louisiana’s underground in the late ’90s, he helped connect No Limit’s street realism with Cash Money’s mainstream polish. His 1998 album "My Balls and My Word" debuted in Billboard’s Top 10, driven by “How Ya Do Dat,” a record that became an anthem from Baton Rouge to the Bayou.

As of Tuesday evening, his family says Young Bleed remains hospitalized and “still fighting.” They’ve asked for continued prayers — and peace — as he battles through the toughest verse of his life.
