Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs was allegedly placed in solitary confinement after a prison fight with a fellow inmate, it has been claimed.
Sources have claimed the rapper and record producer, 56, had a scuffle with another prisoner at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey. According to the publication, the two inmates started pushing each other and throwing jabs.
The sources claimed Diddy “held his own” during the brawl until prison staff separated the men and ended the fight. Sources alleged that Diddy was immediately thrown into solitary confinement – but it’s unclear whether he still remains there this morning. It comes just weeks after Diddy sold one of his properties on Miami’s Star Island, where he held his infamous White Parties, for $55 million.

A representative for FCI Fort Dix told TMZ after they obtained the source quotes, “We are not at liberty to disclose or provide internal information pertaining to any inmate in our custody. Such information would not be available for the public domain.”

Diddy is incarcerated at the federal prison and is scheduled for release in 2028. He was convicted under the Mann Act, which bans transporting people across state lines for any sexual crime. He was also fined $500,000 and sentenced to serve five years of supervised release.
However, he was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking at a trial that ended in July last year.

At sentencing, Judge Arun Subramanian said that when calculating the prison term, he considered Combs’ treatment of two former girlfriends who testified that the Bad Boy Records founder beat them and coerced them into having sex with male sex workers while he watched and filmed the encounters, sometimes masturbating.
At the trial, former girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura testified that Combs ordered her to have “disgusting” sex with strangers hundreds of times during their decade-long relationship that ended in 2018.
Jurors saw video of him dragging and beating her in a Los Angeles hotel hallway after one such multiday “freak-off.”

The second former girlfriend, who testified under the pseudonym “Jane,” said she was pressured into sex with male workers during what Combs called “hotel nights,” drug-fueled sexual encounters from 2021 to 2024 that also could last days.
Earlier this month, while in prison, the disgraced media mogul sold his massive waterfront property in Miami nearly four years after acquiring the property for $35 million from Gloria and Emilio Estefan. According to reports by The Real Deal, Diddy sold the mansion to JFStar LLC, a Newport News-based company led by John A. Franklin of Virginia Beach.

The expansive property, located at 1 West Star Island, features six bedrooms and eight-and-a-half bathrooms and sits in an exclusive, man-made gated community in Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach. The property sold features a 1.3-acre lot that has 240 feet of waterfrontage as well as a pool, spa, and a dock. The residence is two stories that spans 8,000 square feet and includes a guest house.
While the rapper has sold this property, he still owns his main estate next door at 2 Star Island Drive, according to property records. Star Island is famously known for being one of the most expensive zip codes in the US and features 30 ultra-luxurious waterfront properties, owned by the rich and famous.
