Sean Combs was taken by ambulance from FCI Fort Dix prison to hospital for treatment of a head injury.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was taken by ambulance from FCI Fort Dix prison in New Jersey to a nearby hospital at around 1am on Saturday for treatment of a 'non-threatening head injury', according to TMZ. It is unclear how the rapper was injured. He was conscious and speaking when he returned to the prison before sunrise.

Combs, aged 56, was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July 2025 and is serving a 50-month sentence. His release date has been scheduled for 2 March 2028, though it has changed multiple times since being first set. A representative for Combs said the Bureau of Prisons does not provide explanations for how it calculates or adjusts projected release dates.

A representative for the rapper told the New York Post that they were aware of reports concerning Combs and were working to confirm the circumstances. 'Sean's health and wellbeing are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out,' the statement said. NBC News has previously reported that Combs spends thousands of dollars a month paying fellow inmates for massages, cooking, cleaning and laundry, and that he has had contraband mobile phones and alcohol smuggled into the prison.
