Is Sean “Diddy” Combs actually missing from his prison cell?
A viral post claiming the rap mogul has escaped from custody has caused shock and confusion across social media.
The rumor started after a post by a page called “Hoops Crave” began circulating on platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
At the time of writing, the post has gained nearly 10 million views and thousands of shares.
Many fans expressed disbelief, with some asking, “How is this even possible?”
However, official records show there is no truth to the claim that Diddy is missing.
The account that started the rumor, Hoops Crave, describes itself as a “parody account.”
Official sources confirm that Diddy remains in federal custody.
He is currently serving his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix in New Jersey.
The disgraced mogul was sent there in October 2025 following a high-profile trial.
A jury found him guilty in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
While he dodged more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges, he was sentenced to 50 months behind bars.
AI fact-checking tools like Grok have also flagged the “missing” claims as false.
Current records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons show Diddy’s projected release date is in 2028.
Authorities have not reported any escapes or unauthorized absences from the New Jersey facility.
It appears the viral report is simply a social media prank that gained massive traction.
