Combs is also staying active by playing basketball in the prison yard.<\/p>\n<p>As part of Combs\u2019 prison sentence, he is participating in Fort Dix\u2019s Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). When Combs was arrested in September 2024, federal agents found ketamine, MDMA and prescription drugs in the musician\u2019s New York City hotel room. During his trial, Combs\u2019 former employees testified that they were tasked with procuring illegal substances, including cocaine and marijuana, for him.
