Sean 'Diddy' Combs was involved in a physical altercation with another inmate at the federal prison where he is serving his sentence, a source familiar with the incident told ABC News.

The incident occurred at the federal correctional institution where Combs began his 50-month sentence in October 2025. The source indicated that the fight was instigated by a remark made by the other inmate.

Following the altercation, Combs was placed in solitary confinement. The duration of his confinement, whether temporary or long-term, remains unclear. A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons stated that the agency does not comment on individual inmate conditions, disciplinary actions, or other related information due to privacy, safety, and security concerns.

Combs is currently serving time for a conviction of transporting prostitutes. He was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. His conviction and sentence are currently under appeal. He is projected to be released in 2028.

At the time of his arrival at the New Jersey facility, sources told ABC News that Combs was not housed in the general population but in a special drug program unit. The conviction stemmed from a trial last year in Manhattan federal court, where jurors heard allegations related to drug-fueled encounters with former girlfriends and male sex workers.

This incident adds another chapter to the legal troubles of the music mogul, who was convicted on one count after a high-profile trial. The appeal process for his conviction and sentence is ongoing.

ABC News has reached out to a representative for Combs for comment on the alleged fight. This is a developing story, and further updates are expected.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons maintains a policy of not disclosing specific details about inmate status or disciplinary measures, citing the need to protect the safety and security of individuals and the institution.
