What happened
Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken out of FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey for treatment after a head injury early Saturday, October 10, according to TMZ’s prison sources. They say an ambulance left around 1 a.m. and Combs returned before sunrise, conscious and speaking. The sources described the injury as not life-threatening.
The cause of the head injury, treatment details and a hospital destination remain unclear. TMZ also reports recent special housing placement amid prison-life allegations, an earlier July fight with another inmate, and a projected release timetable moving from January to March 2028.
Combs received a 50-month federal prison sentence in October 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The court judgment provides for five years of supervised release after imprisonment.
