Sean Combs Receives Medical Attention After Head Injury Report

Sean "Diddy" Combs was reportedly taken from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey for medical attention early Saturday after suffering a head injury, according to TMZ. His representative told Newsweek on Monday that Combs' team was working to verify the circumstances, while the Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to discuss his medical condition.

Sources at the federal prison told TMZ that an ambulance carrying Combs left the facility at approximately 1 a.m. The outlet said it could not determine how he sustained the injury or confirm whether he was transported to a hospital.

TMZ reported that Combs was conscious and speaking when he returned to the prison before sunrise. Neither the prison agency nor his representative publicly confirmed the details of the reported incident in the statements cited by Newsweek.

A representative for Combs addressed the reports while emphasizing the uncertainty surrounding the incident.

"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," the representative said Monday.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons declined to provide further details, citing its policies on incarcerated individuals' privacy and security.

"For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including quarters assignment or medical status," the agency said in an email to Newsweek.

The reported injury comes after NBC News published an investigation into Combs' life at FCI Fort Dix. Citing four men who had spent time in his unit and material reviewed by the outlet, NBC reported allegations that Combs had access to unauthorized cellphones and alcohol and paid other inmates to perform tasks for him.

Combs' spokesperson downplayed the investigation, while the Bureau of Prisons declined to comment on his living conditions. NBC subsequently reported that Combs had been placed in solitary confinement after the story was published.

NBC News also reported in July that Combs had previously been placed in solitary confinement following a fight with another inmate over the summer.

Combs' incarceration follows his 2025 federal trial in Manhattan, where a jury convicted him of transporting two women, identified as Cassie Ventura and "Jane," for prostitution in violation of the Mann Act. The jury acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, which prosecutors had pursued as part of a broader case alleging that he used his businesses and employees to facilitate sexual encounters.

He received a 50-month prison sentence, a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release. Combs appealed the sentence to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, arguing that the sentencing judge improperly considered conduct connected to charges on which he had been acquitted.

The appeals court heard arguments on April 9, 2026, but had not immediately issued a ruling, according to the source report. Separately, Combs faces dozens of civil lawsuits alleging misconduct, which are proceeding independently of his criminal appeal.

Bureau of Prisons records cited in the report list March 2, 2028, as Combs' projected release date, revised from January 21, 2028. The date remains subject to change.
