Sean 'Diddy' Combs Hospitalized After Prison Head Injury

Sean "Diddy" Combs, 56, was transported by ambulance from the federal prison at Fort Dix, New Jersey, on Saturday morning after suffering a head injury. Prison sources told the Daily Mail he was conscious and speaking when moved, and was returned to the facility before sunrise.

The rapper's spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, confirmed awareness of the reports and stated Combs's health is the immediate priority. The Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on the specific circumstances or the inmate's condition, citing privacy and security reasons.

“Sean's health and well-being are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out.”

People magazine reported the injury resulted from a fight with another inmate identified as a convicted drug trafficker. The Daily Mail and TMZ initially described the incident as a fall, and the exact cause remains unconfirmed by authorities.

Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence after being convicted on two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution. He was acquitted of more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

According to Bureau of Prisons records viewed by the Daily Mail, Combs's projected release date was recently pushed back six weeks to March 2, 2028. The change followed reports last week that he had been returned to solitary confinement amid allegations of receiving preferential treatment.
