Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Transferred to New Prison After Contraband Scandal
The rapper, serving 50 months for Mann Act violations, will land at a low-security Pennsylvania facility after being sanctioned for “disruptive conduct.”
The Bureau of Prisons confirmed Friday that Sean “Diddy” Combs has been transferred from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to FCI Allenwood Low, a federal prison in Pennsylvania. Combs is serving a 50-month sentence for prostitution-related offenses and is currently awaiting a ruling on his appeal. He will remain in a low-security setting at the new facility.
Federal officials have not disclosed the reasons for the transfer, and the Bureau of Prisons stated that privacy and security rules prevent them from discussing the circumstances of an individual prisoner's placement. Combs’ spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, noted that decisions regarding inmate placement are made by the Bureau of Prisons and stated that Combs remains focused on moving forward.
Newsweek reported that the move follows allegations published by NBC News that Combs obtained prohibited items at Fort Dix and paid other prisoners to perform chores, prepare meals, and provide other services. Rolling Stone reported that the 56-year-old was transferred following reports that he had been placed in solitary confinement and suffered a head injury.
