Sean "Diddy" Combs is out of FCI Fort Dix.
The federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed to both NBC News and TMZ on Friday, Oct. 16, 2026, that Combs was transferred out of the New Jersey prison. TMZ reports he is now at the Federal Correctional Institution in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, a low-security prison, and that he was moved Friday morning.
The BOP did not give a reason for the move.
The transfer comes days after a medical emergency at Fort Dix. TMZ reported Combs was taken out by ambulance early Saturday, Oct. 10, for a head injury and returned before sunrise. TMZ's sources tied the injury to a clash with inmate Christopher "Dudus" Coke, but the BOP told TMZ that fight "is false and did not happen." Page Six reported he hit his head on a bunk bed.
It also comes roughly two weeks after NBC News reported Combs had access to cellphones, liquor and other contraband at Fort Dix. TMZ says prison staff wrote him up multiple times for phone violations and fights, twice sent him to the Special Housing Unit, and that he lost 41 days of good-time credit. Those disciplinary details come from TMZ's sources and have not been confirmed by the BOP.
Allenwood carries the same security level as Fort Dix but holds about 1,000 inmates compared with Fort Dix's 4,000, according to TMZ.
Combs is serving a 50-month sentence after his 2025 conviction on two prostitution-related counts. He was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering. Bureau of Prisons records have listed his projected release date as March 2, 2028.
