Disgraced music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been moved to a new federal prison in Pennsylvania. The transfer from FCI Fort Dix to FCI Allenwood Low, a low-security facility, was confirmed by a person familiar with the matter on Friday.
The move follows reports that Combs was hospitalised with a head injury after an alleged fight at his previous New Jersey lockup. TMZ reported that the altercation involved convicted drug lord Christopher "Dudus" Coke, who reportedly confronted Combs over fellow inmates getting into trouble.
According to TMZ, Dudus and other inmates were reportedly angered by an NBC News report alleging Combs was living a lavish life in prison, including using a contraband phone and drugs. Following this report, prison officials reportedly raided the facility twice, confiscating cell phones from Dudus and other inmates.
Combs, 56, is serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution last July. His spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, stated that Combs "remains focused on moving forward." The federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer but did not provide further details, citing privacy, safety, and security reasons. The BOP has denied reports of fights and lavish living, according to TMZ.
Combs has reportedly been docked 41 days of good-conduct credit, which has pushed his release date back to March 2, 2028.
