Hip-Hop Mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs Transferred After 'Luxury Prison Life' Scandal

Hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who was reportedly enjoying a so-called "luxury prison life," has ultimately been transferred to a different correctional facility.

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons announced via NBC News that Combs was moved from the Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix in New Jersey to the Federal Correctional Institution, Allenwood in Pennsylvania.

However, the bureau declined to disclose specific reasons for the transfer or details regarding his conditions of confinement, citing privacy and security concerns.

According to U.S. media reports, the transfer comes after revelations that Combs had been living a lavish lifestyle behind bars, smuggling in premium liquor to drink, bringing in a contraband smartphone to use social media, and streaming video content.

Local media also reported that he had other inmates cook for him, clean his bathroom, and do his laundry, and even received traditional Chinese massages.

Inmates who provided these services to Combs reportedly received compensation from outside the prison in the form of commissary deposits.

Shortly after these allegations were reported, Combs was isolated from a dormitory-style housing unit into solitary confinement before being transferred.

Combs, a hip-hop mogul and founder of Bad Boy Records, is currently incarcerated after being sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in prison for transporting individuals across state lines for the purpose of prostitution.

Separately, Combs has also faced allegations that he ordered the murder of famous rapper Tupac Shakur 30 years ago by a gang leader who is currently serving a de facto life sentence. However, prosecutors have decided not to bring additional charges at this time, citing insufficient evidence.
