Sean “Diddy” Combs left the FCI Fort Dix federal prison in New Jersey in the early hours of Saturday, Oct. 10, to receive treatment for a head injury, and returned hours later. The case came to light Monday, Oct. 12, when TMZ reported it.
What Happened to Diddy at FCI Fort Dix
An ambulance took Combs out of the prison around 1:00 a.m. Saturday. He was back before dawn, conscious and speaking, and the injury does not appear to be life-threatening, as Newsweek details. The date of the transfer was also confirmed to People by another source.
The hospital he was taken to has not been made public. Several outlets describe a facility near the prison, but neither TMZ nor the Bureau of Prisons confirmed it, and no details have emerged about the tests or treatment he received. The only thing reported is that he was away from Fort Dix for a few hours.
What Is and Isn’t Known About Diddy’s Head Injury
It is not known how the injury happened. The Bureau of Prisons gave no details and responded: “For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement.”
Diddy’s Team Responds
Combs’ spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, told XXL:
“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.”
Why Diddy Is at FCI Fort Dix
Combs is serving a 50-month sentence because a jury found him guilty in July 2025 of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, in a case that involved his ex-partner Cassie Ventura. The same jury acquitted him of the most serious charges: sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. He was sentenced in October 2025 and received a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release. He then moved from the Brooklyn detention center to FCI Fort Dix, in New Jersey, where he is serving the rest of his term. His release is projected for March 2028, and his defense has appealed the conviction. Follow more U.S. rap news on Urban Street.
