Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was reportedly rushed to hospital after suffering a head injury in the New Jersey prison in which he has been serving his 50-month sentence.
The 56-year-old rapper, who was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July 2025, was taken by ambulance from FCI Fort Dix to a nearby hospital at around 1am on Saturday morning (10.10.26), for treatment for a “non threatening head injury”, according to TMZ.
The outlet, which said it was unclear exactly how the musician was injured, also reported that Combs was conscious and speaking when he returned to the prison before sunrise on Saturday.
A representative for the disgraced star told the New York Post’s Page Six of the report: “We are aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs and are working to confirm the circumstances.
“Sean’s health and wellbeing are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out.”
Combs was originally set to be released from prison in June 2028, but the date has changed multiple times since it was first set, and the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) are believed to have now scheduled it for 2 March 2028.
A representative for the I'll Be Missing You hitmaker insisted they don't know why his release date keeps changing.
The spokesperson said: “We are never given any explanation for how the BOP calculates or adjusts projected release dates, so we cannot speak to the reason for any change.
“Sean remains focused on serving his time, awaiting the decision on his appeal and looking forward to spending quality time with his family when he returns home.”
News of the rapper’s alleged hospitalisation comes after NBC News published a report in which they claimed that Diddy spends thousands of dollars a month getting fellow inmates to give him massages, as well as cook, clean and do his laundry, and has a contraband cellphone and alcohol smuggled into the prison.
The NBC News report featured claims from four men who shared a unit with Combs at the prison.
They suggested Combs paid one inmate to clean the toilet and shower areas before the star used them and he hired others to cook him special meals including pizza, curry and empanadas.
One of the men said: “This is not some normal s*** you see in jail. This is some rich s***. It looks crazy, but again, it’s Diddy.” Another added: "He’s a billionaire. People are in awe of him. Money is power, especially behind bars.”
They also claimed he's able to watch TV shows and films on a tablet which was smuggled in and scroll Instagram and receive messages via a cell phone.
