Sean “Diddy” Combs, the disgraced mogul who is behind the bars after he was convicted of sex trafficking and prostitution charges, is back in the headlines. Sean Diddy Combs reportedly suffered a head injury during an alleged prison altercation. According to New York Post, the “Act Bad” emcee got into a fight with a kingpin known as “Dudus” at the Fort Dix prison in New Jersey. Combs, 56, and “Dudus” — whose real name is Christopher Coke — got into a physical altercation last Friday.
Sean “Diddy” Combs also went to the hospital after getting into a fight with a convicted drug lord, PEOPLE reported citing sources. The latest development has brought back attention on the disgraced music mogul’s life behind bars, including the luxury properties he once owned and his unsuccessful attempt to secure bail using a multimillion-dollar Miami mansion.
When Sean Diddy sold his $55 million Miami mansion
Sean Diddy's prison altercation with the drug lord has renewed attention to Combs’ $55 million Miami mansion, which he sold in July 2026. During that time, he was serving his prison sentence. The waterfront property had previously featured in his failed bid for release on bail after he was arrested in 2024. The multi-dollar Miami mansion became closely linked to Sean Diddy Combs’ legal battle after his arrest in September 2024. His legal team proposed a $50 million bail package and offered the waterfront property as collateral to support his release.
His lawyers also proposed several conditions for his release including restricting his travel to New York City and Miami, keeping his private jet grounded in Los Angeles while it was being sold, and needing him to wear a GPS monitoring device. Before the bail hearing, he paid off the remaining mortgage on the property, reportedly worth around $18 million, to make it available as security. But prosecutors did not agree and opposed his release and a federal judge denied the bail request, citing concerns about the risk he posed if released.
Inside the luxury Star Island property
Sean Diddy's property is located on Miami Beach’s exclusive Star Island, the mansion was a waterfront estate spanning more than an acre. The property featured around 10 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms and approximately 240 feet of waterfront along Biscayne Bay.
The amenities of the luxury star Island property included a swimming pool, private dock, guesthouse, basketball court, spa and outdoor entertainment spaces, with views of the Miami skyline. Sean Diddy Combs purchased the property in 2021 for $35 million from Gloria and Emilio Estefan, the singer and music producer couple. He subsequently carried out extensive upgrades to the estate.
Mansion was raided too
The mansion also came under scrutiny in March 2024, when federal agents searched the property as part of the investigation into Combs. The Homeland Security agents searched the Miami property as part of the federal investigation that later resulted in criminal charges against the music producer. The mansion remained under public scrutiny throughout the legal proceedings because of its connection to the investigation and the repeated bail hearings
While Combs remains behind bars, the Miami property changed hands in an off-market transaction reported in July 2026. The sale price was $55 million, significantly above the $35 million he paid for the home in 2021.
According to property reports, the buyer financed part of the purchase through an $18.5 million mortgage from Axos Bank. The transaction followed reported disputes over closing documents and mortgage-related issues, which were subsequently resolved.
Which property does Diddy still own?
Despite selling the $55 million estate, Sean Diddy Combs continues to own another property on Star Island, next to the mansion he sold. He purchased the neighbouring property in 2003 for $14.5 million. The larger estate spans around 11,000 square feet and was also searched by federal agents in March 2024.
The two properties had formed a significant part of Combs’ Miami real estate holdings. With one mansion now sold and the other still in his portfolio, his property story continues to draw attention alongside developments in his criminal case.
Sean Diddy behind bars
Sean Diddy Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison after he was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution (and acquitted of more serious charges) last year. He was credited for the more than a year he spent in jail following his arrest in 2024.
The music mogul is serving the remainder of his sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security facility on a military base in New Jersey. He is currently set to be released on March 2, 2028, after his release date was pushed back from January 2028.
