Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the 56-year-old rapper and music mogul, was hospitalized on Saturday after suffering a head injury during a fall at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security federal prison in New Jersey. Combs was transported by ambulance to a nearby medical facility and was conscious and speaking when he left the prison, according to reports. He is currently receiving treatment for the injury, which is described as non-life-threatening.
A representative for Combs stated in a release that the team is aware of the reports and is working to confirm the circumstances, emphasizing that his health and well-being are their immediate concern. A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on the incident. Combs was originally scheduled for release on January 21, 2028, but his release date was later pushed back to March 2, 2028, following reports of alleged lavish prison conditions and a return to solitary confinement.
The incident follows recent scrutiny of Combs’ time in prison, including allegations that he had access to special meals, contraband items, and unauthorized services. These claims emerged in a report by NBC News last month, which detailed accusations of inmates cleaning and cooking meals for him, as well as receiving Chinese-style massages and using a smuggled phone. The Bureau of Prisons has not publicly addressed these allegations but confirmed in a statement that it does not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including reasons for changes in release dates.
Combs was sentenced to four years and two months in prison in 2023 after being found guilty on two counts of transporting prostitutes across state lines for the purpose of sex. He was acquitted on more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking. His legal team has not issued a public statement regarding the hospitalization or the ongoing conditions of his confinement.
