Imprisoned music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been released from solitary confinement at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey following a prison yard altercation, only to immediately launch a new counter-lawsuit against his former videographer. Court records confirm that the disgraced hip-hop titan is taking direct legal aim at Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones, accusing his former employee of stealing private hard drives containing confidential personal video footage.

In case you missed it, the former rap star was placed into isolated lockdown weeks ago after getting into a wild scrap with a fellow inmate who allegedly insulted him in the recreation yard. According to reports from law enforcement sources, Combs managed to defend himself and landed several punches before prison guards intervened, though it remains unclear whether he will face further internal disciplinary action over the physical fight.
