Sean "Diddy" Combs hospitalized after altercation with inmate Christopher Coke at Fort Dix prison
Sean "Diddy" Combs was treated for a head injury after a reported fight with inmate Christopher Coke at a New Jersey federal prison, where both were in custody.
Sean "Diddy" Combs, 56, was taken to a local hospital after sustaining a head injury during an alleged physical confrontation with inmate Christopher Coke, known as "Dudus," at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey. The incident reportedly occurred during Combs' daily break while he was housed in the Special Housing Unit.
According to reports, the dispute stemmed from tensions after NBC News highlighted Combs' alleged use of contraband items while incarcerated. Prison officials have since conducted raids and confiscated cell phones from several inmates, including Coke, who has been serving a 23-year sentence since 2012.
A spokesperson for Combs told Page Six that the rapper's representatives could not independently verify the details of the altercation, but emphasized concern for his health and well-being. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has not responded to requests for comment.
Combs, who was convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution in July and sentenced to 50 months, is scheduled for release on March 2, 2028.
