Sean “Diddy” Combs was captured in his first prison photo since beginning his sentence at FCI Fort Dix, showing the Hip-Hop mogul bundled up during recreation time in the New Jersey facility’s yard.

The exclusive image obtained by TMZ shows Combs wearing an orange prison beanie and navy blue puffy jacket as he walked around the prison yard Friday (October 31). With temperatures in the 50s, the Bad Boy Records founder appeared dressed for the cold weather during his designated outdoor time.

Combs’ graying beard is clearly visible in the photograph, marking the first clear public glimpse of the music executive since his arrest in September 2024. The 55-year-old has been in federal custody since then, initially held at MDC Brooklyn before his recent transfer to the low-security Fort Dix facility.

The Hip-Hop icon was sentenced to 50 months in prison after being convicted on two counts of interstate prostitution under the Mann Act. He will also serve five years of supervised release and pay a $500,000 fine upon completion of his sentence.

Combs has already been assigned his first prison job at Fort Dix, working in the facility’s laundry department. The prison houses over 4,100 inmates and offers various rehabilitation programs.

Former Fort Dix inmate Joe Giudice previously told TMZ that Combs’ financial resources will make his time behind bars significantly easier compared to other inmates.

The music mogul’s legal team had initially sought a more lenient sentence, but prosecutors had recommended 135 months. His conviction stems from charges related to transportation for prostitution purposes, marking a dramatic fall from grace for one of Hip-Hop’s most influential figures.

Combs founded Bad Boy Records in 1993 and built a multimedia empire spanning music, fashion and spirits. His imprisonment represents one of the most high-profile celebrity convictions in recent entertainment history.

NBA Youngboy got some support from his mother, Sherhonda Gaulden, who wasted no time torching NLE Choppa after the Memphis rapper took aim at her son in a diss track that dropped October 30, reigniting a dormant feud with venomous bars and a Tupac-inspired visual.

Gaulden clapped back on Instagram Stories just hours after Choppa released “KO,” a diss track that borrows the beat from Tupac’s “Hit’ Em Up” and features the rapper dressed like the late West Coast legend.

She dismissed the record and questioned Choppa’s relevance with a scathing post: “I would be upset if this was coming from someone who matters like someone people actually listen like someone who is not in the closet.”

The track, which surfaced unexpectedly, marks a sharp escalation in a rivalry that had been quiet since 2022.

Choppa’s lyrics take direct shots at YoungBoy’s influence, accusing him of setting a harmful example.

The diss landed while YoungBoy is in the middle of his Make America Slime Again tour, which has already drawn attention for rowdy incidents involving concertgoers.

At recent stops, fans have reportedly thrown objects at the rapper and clashed with venue staff, adding to the tension of an already volatile tour.

The beef between Choppa and YoungBoy originally surfaced in 2022 through subliminal jabs but had mainly faded until now.

Choppa’s surprise release caught the Hip-Hop world off guard and reignited a feud many thought was over.

YoungBoy has not responded publicly; instead, he let his mom do the talking.

B.G. set the record straight about why Lil Wayne was nowhere to be found during the highly anticipated Cash Money versus No Limit Verzuz battle at ComplexCon Las Vegas on October 26.

The Hot Boys rapper appeared on The Breakfast Club to address speculation surrounding Wayne’s absence from the massive rap showdown that had fans buzzing across social media. According to B.G., health issues kept the Young Money boss away from the stage.

“I talked to Wayne yesterday, man,” B.G. told Charlamagne Tha God during the interview. “And I talked to Wayne the morning before the Verzuz. Shorty wasn’t feeling good. He had a concert the same night. And he canceled that as well.”

The New Orleans native revealed that Swizz Beatz was particularly disappointed by Wayne’s last-minute withdrawal, especially since the Verzuz co-founder had specifically organized the event with Wayne’s participation in mind.

“Swizz was even hurt behind it. Because for real, for real, that’s the reason Swizz pulled the trigger on it. Because Wayne agreed,” B.G. explained. “Shorty… He got muscle. But yeah, man, I think it was [that] shorty wasn’t feeling good. He definitely was supposed to be there.”

B.G. went on to share more details about Wayne’s condition, stating that the rapper had to seek medical attention. “He told me that he wasn’t feeling good and he had to go to the hospital or something like that. People be thinking that it was whatever, whatever, whatever. But at the end of the day, like I told him, man, we ain’t spring chickens no more.”

The Cash Money veteran emphasized the importance of prioritizing health over business, especially given Wayne’s decades-long career. “You got to make sure your health… Get your rest, you been running 35 years strong.”

When asked about Wayne’s potential involvement in an upcoming Cash Money and No Limit tour, B.G. remained diplomatic but hopeful. “I mean… I can’t answer that, I really can’t answer that,” he replied. “Shorty be on what shorty be on. I would love to see him out there with us and on the tour.”

However, B.G. acknowledged the financial realities that might influence Wayne’s decision-making. “I don’t think, you know, that shorty would turn down the bag that’s on the table. But then, you know they already rich forever. I’m playing catch-up, you know what I’m saying? We’ll see.”

The Verzuz battle proceeded without Wayne, featuring performances from Cash Money artists including Birdman, B.G. and Juvenile facing off against No Limit legends. The event was particularly notable as it marked Verzuz’s return after a three-year hiatus.

Meanwhile, the Cash Money camp continues to deal with internal drama involving Turk, who has filed a lawsuit against the 30th anniversary tour promoters and agents, with Birdman publicly calling him out during the Verzuz performance.

Gayle King used her national platform on CBS Mornings on Friday to set the record straight after AI-generated photos falsely claimed she was newly married and flashing a diamond ring.

“Been getting a lot of texts, a lot of messages, stories online that I got engaged,” King said during the broadcast. “Take a look at me with a big ring on my finger. There’s a lucky man — I have no idea who he is.”

The 70-year-old journalist addressed the viral images that showed her in a wedding gown beside a mystery groom, calling out the growing trend of manipulated visuals spreading misinformation.

“These (AI-)generated images have been making their way across the internet. So I’m here to say exclusively on CBS Mornings, I’m not married, not even engaged.”

King, who is currently single, admitted the images were so convincing that even her inner circle bought into the fantasy.

“People have been saying, ‘Congratulations,’ ‘Love really happened to you,’ ‘I’m so happy for you,’” she told co-host Nate Burleson. “That isn’t me. But Nate, even I looked at it and go, ‘Is that me?’”

Reading one of the fake reports on air, King chuckled at the description of her supposed husband, who was described as a “prominent figure in the business world” with a philanthropic streak and a discreet public presence.

“Where is he? I would like to see you, sir! Show yourself!” she joked. “Even my kids said, ‘Mom, who is this?’ Well, I have no idea!”

She wrapped up the moment by reiterating the truth one more time: “I’m not married or engaged… Believe me, if I was, you’d hear it here first.”

King shares two adult children with her ex-husband, William Bumpus. The pair were married from 1982 to 1993.

One Costco shopper got way more than she was looking for in the produce aisle, and it definitely wasn’t on the shopping list. 

TikTok creator Heather Sumrall (@heartofheather) posted the now-viral video, which has pulled in over 415,000 views since it hit the app on Oct. 18.

What started as a grocery run has since turned into a full-blown PSA for anyone grabbing grapes at Costco or any major retailer. The clip zooms in on a bunch of green grapes, and right there, crawling between them, is the signature red hourglass on the shiny black body of a large black widow spider.

The on-screen caption tagged Costco and warned other shoppers, then jokingly included, “At this point I’ll just eat a Little Debbie.”

How Often Are Spiders Hiding in Grapes?

Apparently, this isn’t anything new. Black widows, which are notoriously venomous, have been showing up in grocery store grapes for years. Back in 2015, a woman up in Vermont was hospitalized after one crawled out of her bag of grapes and bit her.

Every year, reports pop up about wandering and huntsman spiders, known as “banana spiders,” found in store bananas, along with black widows hiding in bunches of grapes.

The reason is simple. Grapes make the perfect hiding spot for spiders. Vineyards are packed with fruit-eating bugs. Grape arbors give spiders plenty of space to settle in and spin their webs.

The Comment Section Is in Shambles

The comments were a mix of jokes, spider trauma, and straight-up nightmare fuel.

“Donuts would never do this to you,” one person joked.

Another warned, “Wait until you are looking through the bananas and find a huge banana spider.”

“New fear unlocked omg! [loudly crying face emoji],” someone said.

Other viewers added even more fuel to the fire by displaying advanced insect knowledge.

“Hi, so they actually use black widows in a lot of vineyards to help with natural pest control,” a person wrote. “This is like the 8th post I’ve seen in the last couple months about this.”

Another chimed in, “As a retired inspector, that’s very common.” 

Sumrall declined to comment for the story. We also reached out to Costco for a statement.
