Sean “Diddy” Combs was transported by ambulance from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey early Saturday morning to receive medical treatment for a non-life-threatening head injury, according to TMZ. The 56-year-old music mogul left the federal correctional institution around 1 a.m. and returned before sunrise after being treated.
Medical Transport From FCI Fort Dix
Prison sources told TMZ that an ambulance pulled out of the New Jersey federal lockup at approximately 1 a.m. on October 12, 2026. Page Six confirmed that Combs was treated for a head injury at a nearby hospital. It remains unclear how Combs sustained the injury or which specific medical facility treated him. According to Page Six, his representative stated they were aware of the reports and working to confirm the circumstances while prioritizing his health and well-being.
Prison Conditions and Recent Sanctions
The medical emergency follows a turbulent period behind bars for Combs, who is currently serving a 50-month sentence on a prostitution-related conviction following his July 2025 trial. According to the New York Post, prison officials recently sanctioned him for disruptive conduct after allegations surfaced that he had access to a contraband cell phone used to view racy content sent by an ex-girlfriend. NBC News reported that inmates claimed Combs paid for preferential treatment, including alcohol, massages, and assistance with cleaning his living quarters. Following these revelations, prison officials placed him in the special housing unit, as noted by TMZ. After his pampered lifestyle made headlines, Combs was thrown back into solitary confinement. His trial in July 2025 followed a two-month proceeding featuring graphic and sensational testimony about how he conducted years of “freak off” sex sessions with his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and other women, where he allegedly hired male prostitutes to have sex with women forced to take drugs during multi-day, lube-laden parties. While acquitted of sex-trafficking and racketeering, he was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Back in July, he also got into a fight with another inmate.
Adjusted Prison Release Date
As a result of the disciplinary sanction for disruptive conduct, prison officials stripped Combs of 41 days of good conduct time, which can be earned through compliant behavior to secure an early release. Page Six reported that his scheduled release date from FCI Fort Dix has been officially postponed from January 21, 2028, to March 2, 2028.
