Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs released from solitary following prison fight, report says

Federal prison officials moved the music mogul back to open housing after a fight with another inmate led to a brief stay in isolation.

  • Federal prison authorities at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey moved Sean Diddy Combs back to open housing on Thursday, ending his solitary confinement following a late July physical altercation with another inmate.
  • Correctional staff isolated Combs following a sudden fight sparked when another prisoner allegedly dissed him, demonstrating the rapid institutional response to physical violence at the New Jersey facility.
  • Serving a 50 month federal sentence, the disgraced music executive has a projected release date of February 20, 2028, according to updated records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
  • His 19 year old daughter Jessie revealed that he remains focused on self-improvement; Combs shares Jessie, her twin sister Lila, and three other children with his late former partner Kim Porter.
  • Correctional staff and fellow inmates at FCI Fort Dix are watching to see whether he avoids further disciplinary trouble before his 2028 release, as Federal officials maintain silence on additional penalties.
