Sean “Diddy” Combs was transported from federal prison to a hospital on Saturday morning after suffering a head injury. The 56-year-old music mogul is currently serving a 50-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution, Fort Dix, in New Jersey.
According to reports from TMZ and confirmed by sources to People, Combs was taken away in an ambulance around 1 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 10. The injury was described as non-life-threatening. Combs was reported to be conscious and speaking before his hospitalization and was returned to the prison facility later that same day.
A spokesperson for Combs, Juda Engelmayer, addressed the incident in a statement provided to multiple outlets, including Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. “We are aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs and are working to confirm the circumstances,” Engelmayer said. “Sean’s health and well-being are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out.”
A spokesperson for FCI Fort Dix did not comment on the medical incident. The cause of the injury remains unknown.
This hospitalization follows a period of heightened scrutiny regarding Combs’ conduct behind bars. In late September, NBC News reported allegations that Combs had access to contraband items, including cellphones and alcohol, and had paid other inmates to perform services such as cleaning and cooking.
Following these reports, prison officials sanctioned Combs for “disruptive conduct.” As a result, he was stripped of 41 days of good conduct time, which delayed his projected release date from January 2028 to March 2028. People reported that Combs was placed in solitary confinement following the initial reports of his alleged privileges.
Combs was convicted in October 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of more serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. He is currently awaiting a decision on his appeal.
His legal team has faced recent setbacks as well. Last week, Combs was ordered to pay NBCUniversal $477,700 in legal fees after losing a $100 million defamation lawsuit related to the documentary “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.”
The incident highlights the ongoing legal and personal challenges facing Sean Combs as he serves his sentence. The combination of the recent head injury, the loss of good conduct time, and the pending appeal decision marks a turbulent period for the former music executive, whose release date is now set for March 2, 2028.
