Sean 'Diddy' Combs rushed out of prison after an injury: Here's what happened to the music mogul as he receives emergency medical treatment

Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken out of federal prison early Saturday morning after suffering a head injury, according to reports from TMZ and PEOPLE. The rapper was reportedly transported by ambulance from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey for medical treatment. Although the circumstances surrounding the injury remain unclear, sources said it was not life-threatening.

Combs was later returned to the prison, where he is serving a 50-month federal sentence, as per several repots by TMZ, PEOPLE, and Newsweek.

What happened to Diddy inside prison?

TMZ reported that an ambulance left FCI Fort Dix at around 1 a.m. on Saturday, October 10. The outlet cited sources at the prison who said Combs had suffered a head injury.

TMZ initially said it had not confirmed whether he was taken to a nearby hospital. However, PEOPLE later reported that a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed he had been taken to the hospital.

According to the reports, Combs was conscious and speaking when he returned to the prison before sunrise. PEOPLE also reported that he was placed in solitary confinement after his return.

It remains unclear how the rapper sustained the injury. His spokesperson, Juda Engelmayer, told Newsweek that Combs' team was working 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 spokesperson said.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to discuss Combs' medical situation. In an email to Newsweek, the agency said, "For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including quarters assignment or medical status."

Why has Diddy been in the news behind bars?

The reported medical emergency comes after several weeks of attention surrounding Combs' time in prison. He was previously placed in the special housing unit following reports about alleged contraband items, including alcohol, a cellphone with explicit pictures and access to massages. He also reportedly got into a fight with another inmate in July.

Combs is serving his sentence after a federal jury convicted him in 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The women involved in the case were identified in court as Cassie Ventura and “Jane.”

The reason behind Combs' head injury has not been made public, and his representative has said the team is still working to confirm the circumstances. Diddy is being held at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison about 40 miles outside Philadelphia.
