Sean “Diddy” Combs was transferred to the federal prison at Fort Dix, New Jersey, on Thursday, where he will begin to serve the rest of his 50-month sentence, a spokeswoman from the Bureau of Prisons said.

Combs, 55, had been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. Representatives for Combs said they would not comment on the transfer.

He was sentenced this month to 50 months in prison on two counts of interstate prostitution.

After an eight-week trial, he was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. He pleaded not guilty and has maintained his innocence.

The Fort Dix prison is a large, low security federal prison for men located in New Hanover Township. It houses approximately 4,000 inmates.
