Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is currently serving a 50-month federal prison sentence on two counts of prostitution charges, was reportedly placed in solitary confinement this week after he got into a fight with another inmate.
As reported by TMZ, multiple sources said that Diddy got into a fight with another inmate at New Jersey’s Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix. The fight allegedly kicked off after the other inmate dissed the disgraced Bad Boy Records founder, who escalated the argument into a physical altercation. Sources added that Diddy “held his own” during the fight, which involved both of them throwing punches at each other, but it was broken up by prison staff.
After the fight was broken up, Diddy is said to have been placed into solitary confinement.
When reached for comment by Complex on Friday (July 24), a Federal Bureau of Prisons rep offered the following:
“The Federal Bureau of Prisons does not comment on the conditions of confinement, disciplinary matters, or other information regarding individual inmates due to privacy, safety, and security concerns.”
In 2025, Diddy was found guilty on two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution and was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release. Because he was already in holding for 12 months at the time he was sentenced, he is currently expected to be released in February 2028. At his trial, he was also found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.
Earlier this month, footage surfaced showing the 56-year-old taking a walk inside FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison. More recently, he managed to sell his waterfront Star Island estate in Miami for $55 million in an off-market deal. The sale represents a $20 million gain over the $35 million he paid for the property in 2021 when he purchased it from Gloria Estefan and her husband, Emilio Estefan.
