Diddy Rushed Out of Prison for Head Injury Medical Emergency

Sean “Diddy” Combs was transported out of FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey early Saturday morning on Oct. 12, 2026, for a medical emergency involving a head injury, according to TMZ. An ambulance pulled out of the low-security federal prison at approximately 1 a.m. ET, and while the music mogul was believed to have been taken to a nearby hospital, outlets have not officially confirmed the destination.

Medical Treatment and Return to Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix

Sources at the New Jersey facility told TMZ that the injury was not life-threatening. Page Six reported that insiders confirmed Combs was conscious and speaking when he was returned to the prison before sunrise on Oct. 12, 2026. The exact circumstances surrounding how Combs sustained the head injury remain unclear. A representative for Combs told Page Six that they were aware of the reports and working to confirm the circumstances.

Recent Conditions at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix

The medical transport follows a series of reports regarding Combs’s living conditions and disciplinary status while in custody. NBC News reported that Combs has been enjoying a pampered lifestyle behind bars, which included Chinese-style massages from men, alcohol, and scrolling through nude pictures from an old girlfriend. Four men who spent time in Combs’s unit told NBC News that the rapper spent thousands of dollars a month to have men cook and clean for him. KTVU reported that Combs was also involved in a fight with another inmate in July and was subsequently placed in the special housing unit.

Sentencing History and Projected Release Date

Combs has been in federal custody since September 2024. He was convicted at trial of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, though he was acquitted of more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges. In October 2025, he received a $500,000 fine and a 50-month prison sentence. According to TMZ, his projected release date has been pushed back several weeks from January 2028 to March 2028.
