A 56‑year‑old former rap mogul has been placed in solitary confinement after a physical altercation with another inmate at a federal correctional facility in New Jersey.
The incident began when the two men exchanged verbal insults, leading to a brief push before punches were thrown. Staff intervened quickly, separating the parties and placing the defendant in solitary as a result of the brawl.
The fight could affect the defendant’s scheduled release, originally set for February 8, 2028, as disciplinary measures may extend his sentence.
He has also filed an appeal against his conviction and sentencing, though court officials have expressed skepticism regarding his arguments.
