Sean Combs was reportedly placed in solitary confinement after an alleged fight with another inmate at Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Jersey. The incident is significant because it could affect conditions of his imprisonment, although prison officials did not confirm details and Combs’s representative said they could not verify the report.

A source told Rolling Stone that an inmate taunted Combs, after which the pair allegedly exchanged shoves and throws before guards intervened; it is unclear whether the other inmate faced discipline. Combs, 56, is serving a 50-month sentence following his conviction for transportation to engage in prostitution, while he was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking charges; Bureau of Prisons records list his expected release as February 2028. Previous reports of alleged prison infractions, including homemade alcohol and an unauthorised call, were denied by his team.
