Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been "moved to a new prison" after a scuffle with another inmate, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The disgraced rapper was allegedly caught fighting with a Jamaican drug lord at Fort Dix, resulting in a head injury. He was moved to a low-security prison in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Diddy's Prison Move

The rapper was recently ensnared in a brawl with a drug lord, according to reports.
After a flurry of alleged disciplinary infractions, Combs was thrown out of FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, the facility where he had asked to be transferred to serve out his four-year sentence. Over the last few months, Combs' prison release date has been changed multiple times.
He was transferred to the new facility on Friday, October 16.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons did not specifically cite a reason for his move, according to TMZ. However, a source previously indicated his behavior came with a risk.
Juda Engelmayer, Combs' representative, told Radar, "We appreciate the Bureau of Prisons taking the safety and security of Sean and everyone involved seriously. His transfer from one low-security facility to another is an important distinction, and while we cannot speak to the BOP's specific reasons for the move, it is consistent with a decision made with safety and security in mind.
"We are grateful for the attention being given to his well-being and hope he can continue serving his time without unnecessary disruption."
The concern for Combs' safety comes after an alleged "jail hit bounty."
Sean 'Diddy' Combs Injured in Prison Fight

Combs allegedly fought with a drug lord named Dudus.
Early Saturday, October 10, Combs was rushed out of Fort Dix and reportedly taken to the hospital, returning the next morning. He was conscious and able to speak upon his return.
The injury was reportedly the result of a fight with a Jamaican drug lord known as "Dudus," who was unhappy about added eyes on inmates due to recent allegations about Combs' behavior.
Sources claimed the Bad Boy Records founder took most of the blows, leaving him with an injury. A source close to Combs told Radar that details about the fight were murky and not yet confirmed to his team. Information about inmate injuries are typically just restricted to the family.
Rapper's Disciplinary Records Exposed

Combs was allegedly caught fighting multiple times.
Combs was caught fighting before, too, according to his disciplinary records, which were leaked by Jose Rojas, a union secretary representing Bureau of Prisons employees. He was allegedly caught fighting on July 31, September 30, and October 1. He was also allegedly found with contraband items.
Rojas warned his rule violations could earn him a "disruptive" inmate tag, forcing prison officials to move him to a new facility. However, it's unclear if disciplinary issues had any weight in the decision to send Combs packing.

Combs allegedly funneled money into other prisoners' commissary accounts.
In addition to the already documented issues, explosive claims were made by former inmates regarding the I'll Be Missing You hitmaker's life behind bars. They claimed he was living large, paying other inmates to do his laundry and cook for him. He allegedly topped off their commissary accounts in exchange for favors.
The ex-inmates alleged he had a contraband phone and tablet. Some inmates even claimed they were drinking alcohol with Combs in prison.
After the report dropped, an investigation into the allegations was conducted. The trained eyes looking at inmate behavior were apparently what sent the drug lord over the edge.
