Diddy to Teach Entrepreneurship in Prison with "Free Game" Curriculum
Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to continue instructing aspiring business owners during his incarceration at Fort Dix, and Us Weekly has exclusively obtained the specifics of this six-week program.
His public relations representative, Juda Engelmayer, verified to Us that the “Free Game With Diddy” curriculum, which the 56-year-old music mogul taught at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center while imprisoned, “will be the same or very similar” to the one he will be leading at his new correctional facility.
“He’s just launching it now,” Engelmayer stated, further noting that there will be no segregation of inmates based on religion, race, affiliations, or personal beliefs.
“It’s one class for all,” he clarified.

As per the “Free Game With Diddy” curriculum from MDC, exclusively acquired by Us, the course will run multiple times weekly for two hours per session, extending over a total of six weeks, with one specific lesson dedicated to the concept of ego.
“The course offers exclusive insights into the journey of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, tracing his rise from humble beginnings to becoming a globally recognized icon and influential business mogul,” the syllabus outlines.
The objective is to equip incarcerated aspiring entrepreneurs with “foundational knowledge” in “business management, entrepreneurship and personal development” and to provide them with the “tools and strategic insights to launch, manage and grow successful business ventures” upon their release.
Enrollment operates on a “first-come, first-served basis” and includes stringent attendance policies.
Those who opt to participate in Diddy’s program must attend “100 percent of the scheduled sessions over the six-week period” and “actively engage in class discussions, group activities and mentorship opportunities,” according to the course outline.
All assignments must be submitted by their designated due dates, and students will be required to compose an essay incorporating “lessons learned from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ journey, personal insights gained throughout the program and methods of achieving long-term goals.”
They will also need to successfully complete the final evaluation to be granted a certificate of completion.
Us also procured the detailed lesson plans for each class at MDC, which revealed that one course Diddy instructed was titled “Successful People Do What Unsuccessful People Won’t Do.”
The curriculum indicated Diddy advised his fellow inmates to “never be embarrassed – no ego” and explored “the conscious self vs. extreme” aspects of ego.

Other subjects he covered included “Just Do it” (concentrating on short-term objectives), “Execute” (focusing on checks and balances), “Time Waits for No Man” (emphasizing the importance of deadlines), “Failure” (addressing outcomes when plans deviate), and “The Marathon” (stressing belief in the process).
Diddy also led an extra session called “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop” which focused on persistence.
Prior to his arrest in September 2024, Diddy was a highly successful businessman and entrepreneur. He faced charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He maintained his innocence and denied all accusations against him.
In July, he was found guilty on two counts of transportation but acquitted on all other charges. Last month, he received a cumulative sentence of 50 months in prison. The 13 months he spent at MDC will be credited towards his sentence.
The rapper was transferred to New Jersey’s Fort Dix in late October. His projected release date is May 8, 2028.
