Sean 'Diddy' Combs' family ‘break silence on prison fight claims’

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' family ‘break silence on prison fight claims’

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ family have apparently denied reports the jailed music mogul was involved in a violent confrontation with a notorious Jamaican drug lord, and are said to have insisted claims about a prison fight are “completely false”.

The 56-year-old rapper and former record executive was taken to hospital on Saturday (10.10.26) after suffering a head injury while serving a 50-month sentence at the federal prison complex at Fort Dix, New Jersey.

The incident prompted conflicting accounts about how he was injured, including a report alleging an altercation with convicted Jamaican drug trafficker Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, 57, which has since been denied by both a family source and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Speaking on Thursday’s (15.10.26) edition of The Breakfast Club, entertainment journalist Loren LoRosa said she had

Loren explained that the relative insisted “there was not a fight at all”, contradicting allegations published by TMZ about the circumstances surrounding the injury.

The dispute emerged after Page Six reported on Tuesday (13.10.26) Combs had struck his head on a bunk bed while in custody.

TMZ subsequently alleged the injury was connected to a confrontation with Coke, who has been imprisoned in the United States for drug trafficking and racketeering offences.

Loren challenged the account, explaining Combs is “guarded” when outside the prison’s Special Housing Unit, commonly known as SHU.

She also said the two prisoners were housed on “completely different sides” of the facility, questioning how the alleged confrontation could have occurred during a daily recreation period.

Although the family member could not establish precisely what caused Combs’ injury, Loren said relatives were “not 100 percent certain what” had happened.

Loren also confirmed Combs had returned to the prison after receiving medical attention.

She said he “was brought right back to jail”, where he “is currently sitting right now”.

The journalist added Combs’ relatives were concerned about how details of his medical treatment had become public.

Loren continued: “They don’t know where this [information] came from.”
