Rapper Sean Combs, known as Diddy, was placed in solitary confinement at a federal prison in New Jersey, where he is serving a sentence for prostitution-related charges, after getting into a fight with another inmate.
According to ABC’s Channel 7, which cites a source familiar with the matter, the popular artist got into a fight with another inmate over a comment the inmate made to him.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Is Risking His Prison Sentence After a Fight With Another Inmate
It is unknown how long the singer and successful businessman was sentenced to serve; he faced trial last year in federal court for the Southern District of New York after being accused of staging “elaborate sexual performances,” known as “freak-offs,” in which he allegedly forced various women to have sex with male sex workers, often while under the influence of drugs.
The jury acquitted him of the most serious charges—organized crime, which would have resulted in a life sentence, and sex trafficking—but found him guilty on two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution.
Combs, who has been serving his sentence at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in New Jersey since October of last year, has appealed his four-year-and-two-month sentence, according to Agencia EFE.
