US hip-hop icon Sean “Diddy” Combs has been moved to a federal prison in New Jersey to serve a jail term of four years and two months for prostitution-related offenses, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Combs is now being held at the low-security Fort Dix facility, located roughly 130 kilometers (80 miles) south of New York, which is also known for its drug treatment programs.

His lawyers had requested the transfer, where he is expected to remain until May 8, 2028.

Arrested in September 2024, Combs was convicted in July 2025 of two counts of transporting people across state lines for prostitution, but a jury acquitted him of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

Before the judge delivered his sentence, Combs addressed the court, tearfully saying he was “truly sorry” for his actions.

He also apologized to his family and victims, describing his behavior as “disgusting, shameful and sick.”

Combs has appealed both his conviction and his sentence, which includes credit for the time he has already served in a notorious Brooklyn lockup.
