Pop culture · Heat 1.0 / 10 · 2 shows · 25m airtime

On October 11, sources told TMZ that Diddy was injured in a fight with inmate Christopher "Dudus" Coke at Fort Dix and taken to a hospital. Coverage since reports a head injury and names Coke, a Jamaican drug trafficker serving 23 years. Separately, his release date moved back 41 days after contraband was found in his cell, with some corrections officers disciplined and the warden under scrutiny. No official account has confirmed the fight details, and the cause remains unestablished.
