The first video of Diddy behind bars has surfaced, offering a clear look at how the music mogul spends his days in Fort Dix. Footage obtained by TMZ shows him finishing an evening shift at the prison’s media library, located in the chapel, where he helps distribute films and religious materials to fellow inmates. He wears a brown knit cap over his gray hair, takes off his scarf and blue jacket, revealing a standard gray prison uniform before putting the jacket back on and heading outside. Additional clips show him without his cap, his gray locks on full display as he pauses for a brief, seemingly friendly conversation in the hallway with other inmates.
These clips mark the first moving images of Diddy since he began serving a 50-month prison sentence after being found guilty of violating the Mann Act, with an expected release date in 2028. While photos of him in the yard have circulated, capturing everything from somber moments to signs of levity, the new videos offer a more candid look at his daily routine behind bars. They also follow earlier reports that prison officials reprimanded him for incidents including consuming homemade alcohol and making an unauthorized three-way call, violations that have already brought scrutiny to his time at Fort Dix.

An extensive investigation has uncovered harrowing evidence that police and gunmen fatally shot unarmed or lightly armed protesters in Tanzania following last month’s highly disputed presidential election. Through geolocated videos, forensic audio analysis and eyewitness accounts, the investigation documents multiple incidents in which security forces opened fire on protesters contesting the re-election. Samia Suluhu Hassanwho claimed a 98% win after excluding major rivals from the race. Verified footage shows mortuaries in Dar es Salaam and Mwanza being flooded with bodies, some lying on the floor or left outside as storage facilities fill up. Meanwhile, doctors describe a wave of young victims with fatal gunshot wounds to the head, chest and extremities. Witnesses also described the killings of a pregnant woman and a young man who were shot from long range as they fled or stood unarmed, contradicting the government’s initial denial that protesters had been killed.
The investigation further reveals satellite images and on-site videos indicating recently disturbed soil at Kondo Cemetery, consistent with reports of mass graves where victims of the crackdown are believed to have been buried. Local human rights groups, opposition figures and witnesses say the bodies of protesters have been discreetly transported and buried there, heightening concerns about the scale of the violence. The government has dismissed the findings as biased even as it launches an investigation into the unrest, while the United Nations Human Rights Office suggests hundreds may have been killed, injured or detained. With viral videos showing uniformed officers and suspected plainclothes police shooting at civilians in multiple cities, the unfolding revelations have cast a dark shadow over Tanzania’s reputation as one of East Africa’s most stable democracies.

Real Madrid star Vinรญcius Jรบnior has reportedly informed the club that he does not intend to renew his contract due to his relationship with manager Xabi Alonso remains tense, according to reports. Although his current contract runs until 2027, the Brazilian forward is said to be deeply dissatisfied with Alonso’s methods and joins a group of senior players. Judas Bellingham, Fede Valverde, Eindrick, And Rodrygo, which have also been linked to tensions with the new coach. The rift between Vinicius and Alonso first became public during Madrid’s Clรกsico win over Barcelona, โโwhen the winger reacted angrily to his substitution. Although Vinicius later publicly apologized, he notably omitted any mention of Alonso, fueling speculation of a deeper rift.
Alonso has repeatedly tried to play down the conflict, insisting this was the case โestablishedโ after a team meeting and in which he praised Vinicius for his sincerity. Yet results on the pitch have put a strain on the situation, with disappointing performances including a Champions League loss to Liverpool and back-to-back draws in La Liga putting the coach under early scrutiny. Vinicius has also been on the bench in recent games, with Alonso insisting the decision was mutual and tactical. As Real Madrid prepare for a crucial Champions League match against Olympiacos before taking on Manchester City, all eyes will be on whether the fractured relationship between star player and manager can be mended or whether the tension signals a deeper crisis within the Bernabeu.
