Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs gets into fight with fellow inmate, is tossed into solitary confinement

Diddy has reportedly been involved in a prison fight that got him sent to solitary confinement.

The disgraced rapper, real name Sean Combs, brawled with another inmate at New Jersey’s Federal Correctional Institution (FCI), Fort Dix, earlier this week, multiple sources told TMZ on Friday.

They claimed that the 56-year-old – whose estimated release date has been moved up in recent months – lashed out at the other inmate after he insulted the rap mogul.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Diddy’s representative for comment but has not yet received a response.

A spokesman for FCI Fort Dix declined to share information about the alleged incident.

‘For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not release information regarding the conditions of confinement for any inmate, including housing assignments, nor do we discuss whether a particular inmate is the subject of allegations, investigations, or sanctions,’ they told the Daily Mail.

Sources claimed that Diddy and the other inmate began pushing each other at first, before punches started flying between the two.

Diddy was said to have ‘held his own’ in the fight, though prison guards quickly separated the two men.

Guards reportedly sent Diddy to solitary confinement in response to the brawl.

It’s so far unclear on which day the rapper allegedly had his prison fight, and it’s unknown if he is still being held in solitary confinement as of Friday morning.

The brawl could ultimately have long-term repercussions for Diddy, including possibly delaying his release date.

He had most recently been set to be released on February 8, 2028, but it’s unknown if potential punishments for the fight could push that date back.

The latest conflict for Diddy comes after a disturbing clip resurfaced that showed him inviting the late child star Daveigh Chase, then 12, to an ‘afterparty.’

The clip went viral in the wake of the Donny Darko actress’s death from AIDS last month.

The latest conflict for Diddy comes after a disturbing clip resurfaced that showed him inviting the late child star Daveigh Chase, then 12, to an ‘afterparty.’

The clip went viral in the wake of the Donny Darko actress’s death from AIDS last month.

In October 2025, he was sentenced to four years and two months in federal prison, along with five years of supervised release and a $500,000 fine.

In the clip, which was filmed backstage after the awards, Diddy is seen speaking with Chase and asking whether she is ‘coming to the after-party tonight.’

Chase nods in response, after which Combs reacts with laughter and an audible ‘Yeah!’

The clip has sparked huge backlash online, with many users sharing their reactions in the comments to a version posted on Reddit.

They wrote: ‘God, please keep your kids away from the entertainment industry. Vultures in human form. She’s a child.

‘Why have these 2 men with her on the podium at all? It could be given by someone her own age or an older teen.’

‘This is so incredibly disturbing.

‘I’d also like to point out that Daveigh was so talented – she scared the absolute s**t out of me as a child.

The Ring will forever be one of the greatest horror flicks ever, and that is largely because of her performance. I’m very sorry that her life ended the way it did, and that she was evidently surrounded by creeps from a young age.

‘Hindsight is 20/20. Shewww.’

Other users said on X: ‘No one that young is prepared to handle what she experienced. It’s heartbreaking

‘Poor girl. Diddy was creepy back then as he is now;’

When I look at the clip as an adult, it’s more disturbing and sick.’

A representative for Combs previously addressed the resurfaced footage in a statement to Page Six in 2024, denying wrongdoing and describing the exchange as misinterpreted.

‘It’s disappointing to see the media and social media commentators twist moments into something they were not,’ the statement said.

The team maintained that the interaction was part of a scripted onstage segment and not inappropriate in nature.

It has not been confirmed whether Chase attended the after-party in 2003 or any other events hosted by Diddy.

Daveigh’s mother has also shared her ‘guttural’ reaction to her daughter’s tragic passing with the Daily Mail. You can read the full story here.

The actress died in hospital from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), per an autopsy report by the LA County Medical Examiner.

Chronic polysubstance use – the repeated use of more than one drug over a short period of time – was also listed as a significant condition contributing to her death.

Her manner of death is listed as natural.

Chase found fame as a child star in 2002 with her haunting portrayal of Samara Morgan in The Ring.

She later appeared in a number of film and television projects, including Lilo & Stitch, Donnie Darko, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, ER, and Big Love.
