The 56-year-old rapper was moved from the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix to FCI Allenwood Low, a low-security prison located near Williamsport, Pennsylvania, according to The Associated Press (AP), which cited a person familiar with the matter.

The US Bureau of Prisons confirmed the transfer but declined to explain the reasons behind the decision.

“Decisions about inmate placement are made by the BOP, and we are not in a position to speak to the circumstances surrounding this transfer,” Combs’ spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, said.

He added that Combs remained focused on moving forward and expressed hope that his time at the new facility would be productive and free from unnecessary disruption.

The transfer comes after NBC News reported in September that Combs had allegedly maintained aspects of his wealthy lifestyle while imprisoned at Fort Dix.

The report claimed he had access to prohibited items, including alcohol and a cellphone, and that other inmates prepared meals, cleaned for him and provided massages.

The allegations raised questions about whether the music executive was receiving preferential treatment in prison.

Earlier this week, entertainment news outlet TMZ reported that Combs had been injured in a fight with another inmate and taken out of the facility for medical treatment.

However, the Bureau of Prisons rejected the report. In a statement to AP, the agency said: “The story you are referring to is false and did not happen.”

Following the NBC News report, Combs was placed in a special housing unit, a more restricted area used for inmates facing disciplinary issues or security concerns.

A person familiar with the matter also told AP that Combs had lost 41 days of good-conduct credit, pushing his projected release date to March 2, 2028.

Combs is serving a four-year, two-month prison sentence after being convicted in 2025 on prostitution-related charges involving the transportation of people across state lines for sexual encounters.

He was acquitted of more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

In April 2026, his lawyers asked the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn his conviction and sentence, arguing that the punishment was too harsh. The court has yet to issue a ruling.

The transfer marks another development in the legal troubles of one of the most influential figures in American hip-hop, whose criminal case has drawn widespread public attention.
