Diddy Returns to Fort Dix After Hospital Visit for Head Injury

Sean "Diddy" Combs, 56, returned to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey on Saturday, October 10, after being taken to a hospital for a head injury following a medical emergency at the federal prison, according to TMZ. Sources cited by the outlet said the injury was not life-threatening and that Combs remained conscious and able to speak. The music executive was transported to the hospital at approximately 1 a.m. and returned to the prison several hours later that day, TMZ reported.

The circumstances surrounding the head injury remain unclear. Combs is serving a 50-month federal prison sentence after a jury convicted him in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, according to the BBC. He received his sentence on October 3, 2025, following his arrest in September 2024.

The jury acquitted Combs of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. His current incarceration follows the federal case that resulted in the prostitution-related convictions.

Combs also faced a change to his projected release date shortly before the hospital incident. According to the New York Post, his release was moved back by 41 days, from January 21, 2028, to March 2, 2028. The New York Post attributed the extension to findings involving contraband and allegations of preferential treatment, including access to meals and massages. The report also said Combs had been placed in the Special Housing Unit, a form of solitary confinement, for disobeying prison rules.

NBC News previously reported that sources alleged Combs had spent thousands of dollars per month while incarcerated at the low-security facility to maintain a privileged lifestyle. The reports about his prison conditions preceded the medical emergency.
