TMZ has revealed details of the prison fight that landed Sean “Diddy” Combs in the hospital with a head injury over the weekend.
According to a new report, the disgraced rap mogul and a Jamaican drug lord named “Dudus” got into the altercation on Friday, October 9th, after a recent NBC News exposé about Diddy’s lavish prison lifestyle led to inmates’ illicit privileges being taken away.
TMZ’s sources inside New Jersey’s Fort Dix federal prison allege that officials have conducted at least two raids — seizing contraband and confiscating cell phones from inmates, including Dudus — since the NBC report.
Dudus, born Christopher Coke, has been incarcerated in Fort Dix on a 23-year sentence since 2012. TMZ described him as the “real kingpin” of the Federal Correctional Institution.
Both Diddy and Dudus were placed in isolation in the special housing unit (SHU) for two weeks. Diddy had already been sent to solitary confinement earlier this month following the NBC report; the fight occurred during his daily break.
