Sean 'Diddy' Combs, once one of the most powerful figures in hip-hop, has begun serving his federal prison sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey.
The 55-year-old music mogul was transferred early on Thursday from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Centre to begin a two-and-a-half-year term after being convicted on charges linked to drug and assault offences. Federal prosecutors had initially sought an 11-year term, arguing that Combs' conduct showed he remained 'unrepentant'. The transfer marks a significant shift from luxury to incarceration for a man long associated with excess and influence.
