Diddy Rushed Out of New Jersey Prison After Medical Emergency

Sean “Diddy” Combs was reportedly taken from his New Jersey prison for medical treatment on Saturday, October 10, after sustaining a head injury.

TMZ reported that sources at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix said an ambulance left the prison at 1 a.m. The circumstances surrounding the injury remain unclear, and no official account has explained how Combs sustained IT. Reports by the Los Angeles Times described the injury as non-life-threatening.

According to TMZ, Combs was conscious and speaking when he returned to the prison before sunrise. However, the outlet did not confirm which hospital, if any, treated him or how the injury occurred.

Combs’ representative, Juda Engelmayer, acknowledged the reports but said more information was needed to establish what happened.

“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.”

The representative did not provide further details about the injury or Combs current medical condition. Prison officials also declined to comment on his medical status, citing privacy, safety and security concerns.

The 56-year-old is serving a 50-month sentence after a jury convicted him in October 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. 

Combs was first held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn before being transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey in October 2025.

In September 2026, there were allegations that Combs had received special meals, massages and access to prohibited electronic devices while incarcerated. The report also included claims that he had obtained alcohol inside the facility.

The claims concern his reported prison conditions and are separate from the criminal charges for which he was convicted.

TMZ reports that Combs had been involved in an altercation with another inmate in July. Subsequent coverage said he had been placed in a special housing unit. However, the circumstances surrounding the reported head injury have not been publicly linked to that altercation. His release date has been moved from January 2028 to March 2, 2028. 

Combs is also pursuing an appeal of his conviction. His representative said the team is working to confirm the circumstances, while prison officials have refused to provide any detailed medical care.
