Diddy's head injury caused by striking his head on prison bunk bed as new details emerge about incident that prompted hospital visit

The cause behind Sean 'Diddy' Combs' recent head injury, which prompted an emergency hospital visit, has been revealed.

The disgraced mogul, 56, was rushed out of federal prison to a New Jersey hospital on Saturday morning after he hit his head on a prison bunk bed, a source told Page Six on Tuesday.

The insider added that Diddy struck his head on the bunk above him, but is doing a lot better now.

Sources at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey told TMZ that the rapper was taken via ambulance out of the prison, and was 'conscious and speaking' when he was taken back to the prison before sunrise Saturday.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Diddy and FCI Fort Dix for further comment. 

Diddy's spokesman Juda Engelmayer previously told The Daily Mail: '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.

Diddy was sentenced to four years and two months in prison last year on two prostitution charges following a widely publicized trial.

A jury found Diddy guilty of two counts of transporting prostitutes across state lines for the purpose of sex at his federal trial. He was acquitted by the jury on the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Diddy was originally set to be released in May 2028 before the date was moved around multiple times.  

Last week, it was revealed the disgraced rapper was expected to spend even more time in prison after his release date was pushed back.

According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records viewed by the Daily Mail, Combs is now scheduled to be released on March 2, 2028, six weeks later than his previous release date of January 21, 2028. 

The setback for the disgraced rapper is interestingly timed, as the update comes a little over a week after it emerged that he had been sent back to solitary confinement amid reports that he had allegedly been receiving lavish 'VIP' treatment in prison.

According to People, which first reported on the release date change, Diddy remains in solitary.

'For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including reasons for a change in release date,' the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement to the publication.

The latest update follows claims about Diddy's alleged special treatment behind bars.

The disgraced hip-hop mogul was returned to solitary confinement in response to a recent NBC News report about the alleged special treatment he's been receiving from inmates willing to do his bidding, including cooking for him, cleaning his cell and even offering massages. 

Sources told TMZ that moving Diddy aligns with the standard procedure for an inmate while prison officials conduct an investigation.

However, it's unclear if an investigation is still ongoing, and if his ongoing stay in solitary confinement is standard procedure. 

The rapper was previously put in solitary back in July after getting into a fight with another inmate.

In the new NBC report, one inmate claimed Diddy has access to a cell phone where he receives nude photos from a former girlfriend as well as a 'jail broken' tablet that he's used to watch his archnemesis 50 Cent's damning documentary about him. 

Diddy's representative Juda S Engelmayer told the Daily Mail about the recent reports: 'There is no way we can independently verify those rumors.' 

Four men who spent time in Diddy's unit opened up to the publication about his allegedly luxurious lifestyle – revealing how the music mogul has been living it up during his years-long prison sentence. 

According to the insiders, Diddy enjoyed premium liquor smuggled in by guards, has purchased a mood-boosting antidepressant from inmates and has fellow prisoners store his fan mail and phone for him. 

One inmate provides him with Chinese-style massages.  

Maintaining such a lifestyle doesn't come cheap; Diddy apparently splashes thousands of dollars a month to continue enjoying the luxury prison lifestyle. 

The funding apparently comes from prisoners who work for Diddy, who have their commissary accounts replenished from people on the outside. 

Photos obtained by the publication show the meals prepared by inmates specifically for him and others, pizza and a plate of meat with rice. 

'This is not some normal s*** you see in jail. This is some rich s***,' according to one of the men. 

In response to the article, Engelmayer told The Daily Mail: '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 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.'
