Sean 'Diddy' Combs transferred to low-security facility in Pennsylvania

The full report

Sean 'Diddy' Combs, a 56-year-old music mogul, has been moved to a low-security federal prison in Pennsylvania after reports of perks and fight injuries at his previous New Jersey lockup.

According to reports, Combs was transferred from FCI Fort Dix to FCI Allenwood Low, a low-security facility south of Williamsport and about 155 miles west of New York City.

Combs was given a four-year-and-two-month sentence for his 2025 conviction on prostitution-related charges for transporting people across state lines for sexual encounters.

The case featured harrowing testimony about violence and sex parties he called 'freak-offs', and it was a forceful reckoning for one of music and entertainment's most influential figures.

In September, NBC News reported that Combs was continuing to enjoy aspects of his millionaire lifestyle at FCI Fort Dix, smuggling in Hennessy cognac and having fellow inmates cook, clean, make his bed, and give him massages.

Combs was also involved in two fights, according to NBC, and was placed in the prison's special housing unit, a heavily secured part of the facility away from the general population for inmates with disciplinary issues or security concerns.

He has also been docked 41 days of good-conduct credit, pushing his release date back to 2 March 2028, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke to the AP.
