'For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any individual in our custody, including reasons for transfer.'Diddy's spokesman Juda Engelmayer told The Daily Mail in a statement: 'The Bureau of Prisons has confirmed Sean's relocation to Allenwood.'He added: 'Decisions about inmate placement are made by the BOP, and we are not in a position to speak to the circumstances surrounding this transfer. Sean remains focused on moving forward, and we hope that his time at the new facility will be productive and without unnecessary disruption.' Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been transferred to a new federal prison, after officials denied a report that he brawled behind bars with a Jamaican drug kingpin Earlier this week, insiders alleged to TMZ that Diddy sustained a 'serious' head injury in a fight with Jamaican drug lord Christopher 'Dudus' Coke last Friday Earlier this week, TMZ claimed Diddy had sustained a 'severe' head injury on Friday in a fight with Jamaican drug lord Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, who succeeded his late father Lester Coke as the leader of the cartel Shower Posse.The Federal Bureau of Prisons then told the Daily Mail no such fight took place, and it remains unclear whether Diddy was even injured. The prison has refused to clarify.In a statement denying the prison brawl, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Prisons told the Daily Mail: 'While, for privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any individual in our custody, we can tell you that the story you are referring to is false and did not happen.'Sean Combs is in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons and is incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix. 'Beyond this, we have no additional information to provide.'At that time, Engelmayer told the Daily Mail: 'We appreciate the BOP's clarification, which confirms our concerns about the accuracy of the initial reports. 'We have not independently verified the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident, and I don't want to speculate about what may or may not have happened. 'At this point, we have no verified information indicating that Sean was attacked by Christopher Coke or anyone else, or that he sustained injuries.' He was previously held at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey (pictured) but has been moved to FCI Allenwood in Pennsylvania, the Federal Bureau of Prisons told The Daily Mail FCI Allenwood (pictured) is a low security facility that houses 1,044 inmates, by contrast to the 4,234 at FCI Fort Dix, per Federal Bureau of Prisons recordsDudus was said to be angry with Diddy over the recent explosive report about the 'VIP' lifestyle the latter was purportedly enjoying at FCI Fort Dix, via NBC News. Sources had claimed to TMZ that the NBC report resulted in a minimum of two raids, as well as phones being confiscated from Dudus and other inmates.Dudus was sentenced in 2012 to the maximum of 23 years after pleading guilty to drug and gun-trafficking charges in the United States.He was extradited to America after a five-week operation to capture him that roiled the Jamaican capital Kingston, where he controlled the neighborhood Tivoli Gardens.More than 70 civilians were killed in the fighting that erupted between Jamaican security forces and Shower Posse during a mission known as the 'Tivoli Incursion.'Diddy was acquitted last July of the most serious charges against him, sex trafficking and racketeering, but was found guilty on two lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.Sources at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey told TMZ last week that the rapper was taken via ambulance out of the prison upon sustaining his head injury Saturday, and was 'conscious and speaking' when he was taken back to the prison before sunrise.Diddy was originally set to be released in May 2028 before the date was moved around multiple times. The insider added that Diddy struck his head on the bunk above him, but is doing a lot better now. Above, in 2023Last week, it was revealed the disgraced rapper was expected to spend even more time in prison after his release date was pushed back.According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records viewed by the Daily Mail, Combs is now scheduled to be released on March 2, 2028, six weeks later than his previous release date of January 21, 2028. The setback for the disgraced rapper is interestingly timed, as the update comes a little over a week after it emerged that he had been sent back to solitary confinement amid reports that he had allegedly been receiving lavish 'VIP' treatment in prison.According to People, which first reported on the release date change, Diddy remains in solitary.'For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including reasons for a change in release date,' the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement to the publication. It comes after a recent NBC News report about the alleged special treatment he's been receiving from inmates willing to do his biddingThe latest update follows claims about Diddy's alleged special treatment behind bars.The disgraced hip-hop mogul was returned to solitary confinement in response to a recent NBC News report about the alleged special treatment he's been receiving from inmates willing to do his bidding, including cooking for him, cleaning his cell and even offering massages. Sources told TMZ that moving Diddy aligns with the standard procedure for an inmate while prison officials conduct an investigation.However, it's unclear if an investigation is still ongoing, and if his ongoing stay in solitary confinement is standard procedure. The rapper was previously put in solitary back in July after getting into a fight with another inmate.In the new NBC report, one inmate claimed Diddy has access to a cell phone where he receives nude photos from a former girlfriend as well as a 'jail broken' tablet that he's used to watch his archnemesis 50 Cent's damning documentary about him. Diddy's representative Juda S Engelmayer told the Daily Mail about the recent reports: 'There is no way we can independently verify those rumors.' Four men who spent time in Diddy's unit opened up to the publication about his allegedly luxurious lifestyle – revealing how the music mogul has been living it up during his years-long prison sentence. According to the insiders, Diddy enjoyed premium liquor smuggled in by guards, has purchased a mood-boosting antidepressant from inmates and has fellow prisoners store his fan mail and phone for him. One inmate provides him with Chinese-style massages. Maintaining such a lifestyle doesn't come cheap; Diddy apparently splashes thousands of dollars a month to continue enjoying the luxury prison lifestyle. The funding apparently comes from prisoners who work for Diddy, who have their commissary accounts replenished from people on the outside. In the NBC report, one inmate claimed Diddy has access to a cell phone where he receives nude photos from a former girlfriend. One inmate also reportedly provided him with Chinese-style massages Diddy is currently serving his time at Fort Dix in New Jersey, abovePhotos obtained by the publication show the meals prepared by inmates specifically for him and others, pizza and a plate of meat with rice. 'This is not some normal s*** you see in jail. This is some rich s***,' according to one of the men. In response to the article, Engelmayer told The Daily Mail: 'The continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs's life in prison has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news.''The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence within the rules and he patiently awaits the court's decision on his appeal.'
