Sean 'Diddy' Combs will spend an extra month behind bars after his prison release date was reportedly pushed back by authorities

According to PEOPLE, no reason has been given for the change.

It comes after a representative for the shamed star insisted Combs is taking his sobriety "seriously" during his stint behind bars.

The spokesperson dismissed claims Combs had been caught drinking homemade alcohol behind bars - insisting his client is focusing on remaining clean and sober.

The representative told PEOPLE: "There have been several false and reckless reports circulating about Mr. Combs. He has not violated any prison rules. His sobriety and self-discipline are priorities, and he is taking them seriously.

"This is only his first week at FCI Fort Dix, and unfortunately, rumors will surface throughout his time there. We ask the public and the press to give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth, and the grace to move forward in peace."

A statement denying the booze rumours was also posted on Combs' X account. It reads: "The rumors claiming Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false. His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family."

Combs was transferred from Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York City to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on October 30.

FCI Fort Dix is a low security facility and said to have better conditions than MDC Brooklyn, where Combs had been behind bars since his arrest on various sex crime charges in September 2024.

His legal team had requested he be moved to the facility in New Jersey because of its access to drug rehabilitation schemes.

His attorney Teny Geragos had written in a court filing: "In order to address drug abuse issues and to maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts, we request that the court strongly recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be placed at FCI Fort Dix."

The Bad Boy Records founder had complained about the conditions in MDC and recently his friend Charlucci Finney claimed Combs had suffered a terrifying incident at the prison when he woke up "with a knife to his throat".
