Sean "Diddy" Combs has moved. The Federal Bureau of Prisons informed media outlets on October 16 that the rapper was transferred to an FCI in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, shortly after many publications claimed that he had suffered a brain injury while incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey.

Combs' representative thanked the BOP for considering his client's "safety and security" throughout the relocation.

"His transfer from one low-security facility to another is an important distinction, and while we cannot speak to the BOP's specific reasons for the move, it is consistent with a decision made with safety and security in mind,” news organizations received a comment from Combs' representative. "We are grateful for the attention being given to his well-being and hope he can continue serving his time without unnecessary disruption."

Combs was removed from Fort Dix just one day after the BOP informed news sources that rumors that he and fellow prisoner Dudus (real name Christopher Coke) got into a fight there were "false" and "did not happen."

For "privacy, safety, and security" concerns, the BOP stated at the time that they were unable to comment on "the conditions of confinement for any individual" in custody.

Combs' move also coincides with news reports confirming that his prison release date has been rescheduled from January 21, 2028, to March 2, 2028.​‌

In the meanwhile, Combs, who is incarcerated on two charges of transportation to participate in prostitution, paid his fellow prisoners thousands of dollars to gain access to illegal goods including cellphones and Hennessy cognac, according to a report published earlier this month by NBC News, which cited unnamed inmate sources.

The publication said that Combs had allegedly hired other prisoners to clean and cook for him, as well as to receive "Chinese massages" from one of them.

Combs' representative, Juda Engelmayer, responded to the reports by telling Oxygen that there was no new information.

“The continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs’s life in prison has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news,” they released in a statement. “The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence within the rules and he patiently awaits the court’s decision on his appeal.”

The BOP stated that they "continue to tackle the problem of contraband" within its institutions even if they "do not comment on anecdotal allegations."

“Like all correctional agencies, contraband, particularly cell phones, narcotics, and weapons, remains a constant challenge," the department told Oxygen in a statement. “We are fully committed to safeguarding everyone in our custody and to maintaining the safety and security of our correctional staff and surrounding communities. To this end, we operate under a controlled environment that is both secure and humane.”

Combs was convicted guilty of two counts of transportation to participate in prostitution during a two-month trial in 2025, although he was found not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking. His release date has been revised many times after he was given a 50-month jail term in September 2025.
