Combs, 56, is currently serving a four-year sentence at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey for prostitution-related charges.
Last week, TMZ reported that the disgraced rapper got into a heated altercation with a fellow inmate after being dissed and took “matters into his own hands.”
Prison staff members separated the men during the fight, and Combs was tossed in solitary confinement.
Combs “held his own” during the incident, an insider alleged.
An FCI Fort Dix rep told TMZ, “We are not at liberty to disclose or provide internal information pertaining to any inmate in our custody. Such information would not be available for the public domain.”
The Federal Bureau of Prisons, meanwhile, would not comment on “disciplinary matters, or other information regarding individual inmates due to privacy, safety and security concerns.”
In October 2025, Combs was sentenced to 50 months for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was transferred from Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center to Fort Dix.
His initial May 8, 2028, release date was pushed to June 4, 2028, in November 2025 after he allegedly violated multiple prison rules.
The “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker reportedly got in “trouble with prison officials” for consuming “homemade alcohol,” before he was busted again for allegedly participating in a three-way phone call, which is prohibited.
Combs claimed to have not known that “third party or three-way calls are not authorized.”
His release date was subsequently moved up again and was set at Feb. 23, 2028 before the prison fight.
Combs previously filed to appeal his four-year sentence in December.
Lawyers demanded his immediate release and either reversal of the conviction or a reduced sentence, according to appeal court papers.
Prosecutors opposed the appeal request in February.
Combs has been imprisoned since his September 2024 arrest.
He was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs was found guilty in July of last year on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and was acquitted of the other charges.
