Sean "Diddy" Combs Shareif Ziyadat/Getty Images/Sean "Diddy" Combs Sean Combs was involved in a fight with another inmate at Fort Dix earlier this week, resulting in the Bad Boy founder being sent to solitary confinement, a source familiar with the incident confirmed to Rolling Stone.
A fellow inmate at the low-security federal prison in New Jersey allegedly taunted Combs, who reportedly lashed out at the man, TMZ first reported. The pair are said to have exchanged shoves and throws, before prison guards were able to separate them. Afterwards, Combs was reportedly put in solitary confinement. It is not clear if the other inmate was also reprimanded for his part in the scuffle.
A representative for Combs said they were “unable to confirm this [report] at the moment” when asked for comment.
A spokesperson for Fort Dix declined to comment when approached by Rolling Stone. “We are not at liberty to disclose or provide internal information pertaining to any inmate in our custody,” said a prison representative. “Such information would not be available for the public domain.”
Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence after his conviction on transportation to engage in prostitution charges last July. It followed a high-profile, eight-week long federal criminal trial in New York where Combs was acquitted of more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
The 56-year-old’s notorious temper and his propensity for physical violence played a dominant role in his trial last year. Combs was accused of routinely beating his then-girlfriend, the singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura throughout their decade-long relationship, which ended in 2018. Former staffers alleged they also were subjected to violence at the hands of their boss.
