Sean 'Diddy' Combs Suffers Head Injury in Prison
Mogul struck his head on a bunk bed and was taken to a New Jersey hospital.
Sean "Diddy" Combs, 56, was hospitalized Saturday morning after sustaining a head injury from striking himself on a prison bunk bed. A source told Page Six that the incident occurred at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, and that Combs is now recovering.
Combs was transported by ambulance from the federal prison and was conscious and speaking upon his return before sunrise. Representatives for Combs and FCI Fort Dix have been contacted for further comment. His spokesman previously stated they were "aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs and are working to confirm the circumstances," adding that "Sean’s health and well-being are our immediate concern."
Diddy is currently serving a sentence of four years and two months following his conviction on two counts of transporting prostitutes across state lines. He was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
His projected release date was recently pushed back to March 2, 2028, from January 21, 2028. This update came shortly after reports emerged that Combs had been returned to solitary confinement amid allegations of receiving preferential treatment. These reports cited claims of inmates performing tasks for him, such as cooking, cleaning his cell, and providing massages. Additionally, it was reported that Combs had access to a cell phone and a modified tablet.
Combs' representative has stated that "there is no way we can independently verify those rumors" regarding the special treatment. The Bureau of Prisons has declined to comment on the specifics of any incarcerated individual's confinement or changes to their release dates, citing privacy, safety, and security reasons.
This is not the first time Combs has been placed in solitary confinement. He was previously moved to solitary in July after an altercation with another inmate. The ongoing scrutiny of his prison conditions has been met with a statement from his representative suggesting that "the continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs's life in prison has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news." The statement concluded that "the only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence within the rules and he patiently awaits the court's decision on his appeal."
