Sean “Diddy” Combs was transported from the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix in New Jersey for medical treatment early Saturday after suffering a reported head injury, according to TMZ. A representative for Combs stated that his legal and management team was actively working to confirm the circumstances surrounding the medical incident.
Sources at the New Jersey federal facility told TMZ that an ambulance carrying the 56-year-old music mogul departed the prison grounds at approximately 1 a.m. Reports indicated that it remained unclear exactly how the injury occurred. It has not been officially confirmed whether Combs was transported to an external hospital. However, sources noted that Combs was conscious and speaking when he returned to the prison facility before sunrise.
Federal Bureau of Prisons Responds
When contacted for details regarding the incident, the Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to discuss Combs’ medical status, citing standard policy protocols.
“For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including quarters assignment or medical status,” the agency said in an official statement.
Meanwhile, a representative for Combs released a brief statement addressing the situation: “We are aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs and are working to confirm the circumstances. Sean’s health and well-being are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out.”
Recent Scrutiny and Prison Conditions
The reported medical emergency occurs amid heightened scrutiny regarding Combs’ life behind bars. An investigative report published by NBC News alleged that Combs had access to contraband items, including cellphones and alcohol, within his unit at FCI Fort Dix. The report cited statements from four men who spent time in his housing unit, alongside photographs and videos reviewed by the news outlet.
Following the publication of the investigation, NBC reported that Combs was placed in the Special Housing Unit, commonly known as solitary confinement. This follows a previous stint in solitary confinement over the summer following a physical confrontation with another inmate, according to prior reports.
Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence following his conviction in July 2025 on two counts of violating the Mann Act by transporting individuals for prostitution. He was acquitted by a Manhattan federal jury on more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and trafficking. His legal team has appealed the conviction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and Bureau of Prisons records currently list his projected release date as March 2, 2028.
