Sean "Diddy" Combs hospitalized for head injury while incarcerated
Sean "Diddy" Combs was taken to a hospital on Oct. 10 for treatment of a head injury, according to his spokesperson, while the prison declined comment.
Sean "Diddy" Combs was hospitalized on Saturday, Oct. 10, for a head injury, reports said. The 56-year-old rapper, who is serving a 50-month federal sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, was taken to a medical facility after a "medical emergency," according to TMZ.
"We are aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs," spokesperson Juda Engelmayer told USA TODAY on Oct. 12, adding that the team is working to confirm the circumstances and that "Sean's health and well-being are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out."
FCI Fort Dix declined to comment, citing privacy, safety and security reasons. The hospitalization follows recent legal and custody issues for the Bad Boy Records founder, including a conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July 2025 and reports of disciplinary actions while incarcerated.
Combs' release date has been adjusted several times; it is currently set for March 2, 2028, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records. His legal team continues to appeal the conviction, and he faces numerous civil lawsuits nationwide.
