- Diddy Sentencing TODAY: Listen to Daily Mail's The Trial of Diddy podcast now
Even in a prison cell, Sean 'Diddy' Combs is living like a king.
According to NBC News, Diddy, 56, has been receiving the VIP treatment from inmates willing to do his bidding – from cooking, cleaning, to even offering massages.
uncertain
Diddy → get → massages
One inmate claimed Diddy even has access to a cell phone where he receives nude photos from a former girlfriend as well as a 'jail broken' tablet that he's used to watch his archnemesis 50 Cent's damning documentary about him.
asserted
he → claim → him
Four men who spent time in Diddy's unit opened up to the publication about his allegedly luxurious lifestyle – revealing how the music mogul has been living it up during his years-long prison sentence.
According to the insiders, Diddy enjoyed premium liquor smuggled in by guards, has purchased a mood-boosting antidepressant from inmates, and has fellow prisoners store his fan mail and phone for him.
One inmate provides him with Chinese-style massages.
uncertain
inmate → spend → massages
Maintaining such a lifestyle doesn't come cheap; Diddy apparently splashes thousands of dollars a month to continue enjoying the luxury prison lifestyle.
asserted
Diddy → maintain → lifestyle
Even from behind bars, Sean 'Diddy' Combs is enjoying VIP perks that most prisoners could only dream of
The funding apparently comes from prisoners who work for Diddy, who have their commissary accounts replenished from people on the outside.
uncertain
accounts → enjoy → outside
Photos obtained by the publication show the meals prepared by inmates specifically for him and others – pizza and a plate of meat with rice.

'This is not some normal s*** you see in jail.

This is some rich s***,' according to one of the men.

In response to the article, his spokesperson Juda S Engelmayer told The Daily Mail: 'The continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs's life in prison has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news.
asserted
media → tell → news
The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence within the rules and he patiently awaits the court's decision on his appeal.'
asserted
he → continue → appeal
Diddy was sentenced to four years and two months in prison last year on two prostitution charges following a widely publicized trial.

During Combs's trial, his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura delivered graphic testimony, alleging that the music mogul abused her over more than a decade.
asserted
mogul → deliver → decade
The once Hollywood power player endured a major fall from grace after Cassie accused him of rape and repeated physical abuse in a bombshell $30 million lawsuit that was quickly settled – and prompted others to come forward with claims.
uncertain
that → endure → claims
But now, it seems he has been embraced by prisoners.

uncertain
he → picture → luxuries
Thanks to a 'jailbroken' tablet he somehow retrieved, Diddy has been watching movies and documentaries – including 50 Cent's Sean Combs: The Reckoning – and scrolling on Instagram on a cell phone.
'Pretty much the day he arrived, the party started,' a source said.
asserted
source → retrieve → phone
The report alleges Diddy has purchased Remeron, an antidepressant known for being a mood booster and one that is prescribed to inmates struggling with depression and anxiety.
asserted
that → allege → depression
Nicknamed 'rem-roms' by prisoners, the medication is also available in the prison's black market, a source said.
asserted
source → nickname → market
Inmates have also taught Diddy the ropes; in the early days of his sentence, he was allegedly seen wearing just a towel or boxer shorts after a shower, sparking inmates to issue him a warning about how the minimal clothing would make him a target for sex.
uncertain
him → teach → sex
Diddy has endured a major fall from grace after his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura came forward with allegations of rape and repeated sexual abuse.
