American rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was reportedly taken from prison for medical treatment after sustaining a head injury over the weekend.
According to reports published on Monday, October 12, 2026, Combs was transported from the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Fort Dix in New Jersey early Saturday morning after suffering the injury.
Sources cited by TMZ said an ambulance left the prison at about 1 a.m. The rapper was reportedly conscious and able to speak when he returned to the facility before sunrise. The injury was described as non-life-threatening, although the circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear.
A spokesperson for Combs said his team was aware of the reports and was working to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident. The representative added that his health and well-being remained their immediate concern. Prison officials declined to comment on his medical condition, citing privacy and security reasons.
The reported incident comes amid increased scrutiny of Combs’ time behind bars, following allegations that he enjoyed special privileges and access to contraband in prison. He was reportedly placed in a special housing unit amid the controversy.
Combs, 56, is serving a 50-month federal prison sentence after being convicted in 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. His projected release date was recently moved to March 2, 2028.
Further details about the cause of his head injury have not been confirmed.
