Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the hip-hop mogul, has been transferred to a federal prison in Pennsylvania following reports of a luxurious lifestyle and an injury incident at his previous facility in New Jersey. The move comes after the Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer of the 56-year-old entertainer from FCI Fort Dix to FCI Allenwood Low, a low-security prison located south of Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Transfer and Official Statements
A person familiar with the matter revealed that the Bureau of Prisons is relocating Combs, who is serving a four-year, two-month sentence for his conviction on prostitution-related charges. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the transfer but did not provide further details. The Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on the reasons for the transfer, citing privacy, safety, and security concerns.
Combs’ spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, stated that the decision about inmate placement was made by the Bureau of Prisons and that Combs remains focused on moving forward. The spokesperson emphasized the hope that his time at the new facility would be productive and without unnecessary disruption.
Reports of Luxury and Injuries
Recent reports indicated that Combs was enjoying aspects of his millionaire lifestyle at FCI Fort Dix, including smuggling in Hennessy, having fellow inmates cook and clean, and using a contraband cellphone to view social media and nude selfies of an ex-girlfriend. These allegations were reported by NBC News last month.
On Wednesday, TMZ reported that Combs was injured in a fight with another inmate at Fort Dix and had to be taken out of the prison for treatment. However, the Bureau of Prisons refuted the report, stating that the story was false and did not happen.
Disciplinary Actions and Legal Challenges
In response to the NBC report, Combs was placed in the prison’s special housing unit, a heavily secured area away from the general population. He has also been docked 41 days of good-conduct credit, which pushed his release date back to March 2, 2028, according to the person familiar with the matter.
In April, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in Combs’ bid to overturn his conviction and sentence, which his lawyers argued was too harsh. The court has yet to rule on the case.
