Diddy Transferred To Fort Dix To Begin Four-Year Prison Sentence For Federal S3x Crimes
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been moved to the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, to begin serving his prison term for federal s3x-related offenses. The 55-year-old music executive was sentenced in October to just over four years behind bars after being found guilty in July on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution. His expected release date is May 8, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. In addition to his 50-month prison term, Diddy will spend five years under supervised release and pay a $500,000 fine. Prosecutors had initially sought a much harsher penalty of 135 months, arguing that he showed no remorse for his actions. Before his transfer, Diddy had been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest on September 16, 2024. His attorney, Teny Geragos, had requested that Judge Arun Subramanian recommend Fort Dix, noting that the facility’s drug rehabilitation program would help him “address drug abuse issues” and allow more opportunities for family visits. Combs was convicted on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution but was acquitted of the more severe racketeering and s3x trafficking charges. Prosecutors maintained that the rapper deserved a lengthy prison term, describing him as “unrepentant” in their sentencing submission.

Hilda Baci Donates ₦2 Million To Support #JusticeForOchanya Campaign
Guinness World Record–holding chef Hilda Baci has joined the growing #JusticeForOchanya movement, pledging ₦2 million to support survivors of rape and sexual abuse in honour of the late 13-year-old Elizabeth Ochanya Ogbanje. In a moving Instagram post, Baci expressed heartbreak over Ochanya’s story — a young girl who, she said, was “failed by the very people meant to protect her.” “As I read through her story, I couldn’t stop thinking about how many girls carry wounds like hers,” she wrote. “Some have found their voice, some are still silent, and some didn’t get the chance to make it through.” Baci said true justice goes beyond social media campaigns, stressing the need to create safe spaces, fund recovery programs, and hold abusers accountable. “To support that cause, I’m pledging ₦2,000,000 to organisations working with rape and sexual abuse survivors,” she announced. “Please help me choose two trusted NGOs to receive this donation—drop your nominations in the comments or tag them below.” She also revealed she had contributed to the GoFundMe campaign seeking justice for Ochanya, urging others to take action in any way they can. “If you can’t give financially, you can still lend your voice,” she said. “Lawyers can offer legal advice, content creators can amplify verified updates, and brands can support survivors. This isn’t about social media relevance — it’s about standing together for something bigger than all of us.” Hilda Baci’s gesture has drawn widespread praise online, with many Nigerians commending her compassion and commitment to justice for vulnerable girls across the country.
