Sean “Diddy” Combs was reportedly taken by ambulance from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey around 1 a.m. on Saturday, October 10, after suffering a head injury. According to TMZ, sources said he returned to the prison before sunrise conscious and speaking. The injury was reportedly not life-threatening, but how it happened and where he received treatment have not been confirmed. His representative said the team was working to establish the circumstances and that his health remained the immediate concern.
The reported medical incident follows months of controversy surrounding Combs’ incarceration. In July, he allegedly became involved in a physical confrontation with another inmate and was reportedly placed in solitary confinement afterward. No public confirmation established whether the incident affected his good-behavior credits. Prison officials declined to discuss individual disciplinary matters, citing privacy and security concerns
Scrutiny intensified after an NBC News investigation cited former inmates who alleged Combs received special services, including meals prepared by other prisoners, cleaning, massages and access to prohibited items. The allegations also included claims involving a cellphone, prescription medication and alcohol. Combs’ spokesperson criticized the coverage and raised questions about how information and recordings were reportedly leaving the facility. These accounts remain allegations, and prison officials have not publicly confirmed the specific claims.
Combs was also reportedly moved to the prison’s Special Housing Unit, where inmates can face stricter restrictions while allegations are investigated. He is serving a 50-month federal sentence after a 2025 jury convicted him of two prostitution-related transportation offenses while acquitting him of more serious charges. His reported release date has been moved to March 2, 2028. The circumstances surrounding the head injury remain unclear.
