Diddy hospitalised after head injury in prison

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the 56-year-old rapper serving a 50-month sentence for prostitution-related charges, was hospitalized after sustaining a head injury in prison, according to TMZ. The incident occurred over the weekend when Diddy was taken out of the New Jersey federal lockup, FCI Fort Dix, by ambulance for medical treatment. It is unclear how he sustained the injury or where he was taken for treatment.

Diddy was released from prison briefly, leaving the facility around 1 a.m. and returning before 7 a.m. Earlier in the week, Diddy had faced disciplinary action from prison officials for allegedly using a contraband cell phone to view explicit content. As a result, he lost 41 days of good conduct time, which could have led to an early release.

His original release date of January 2028 has been pushed back to March of that year. Prison records indicate that Diddy possessed a prohibited phone, which he allegedly used to access explicit material sent by an ex-girlfriend. Additionally, sources claim he paid for premium services such as massages, alcohol, and clean facilities in his cell.

In July 2025, Diddy was convicted of two counts of transporting someone to engage in prostitution following a two-month trial that included detailed testimony about his alleged involvement in "freak off" sex sessions with multiple women. He was acquitted of sex-trafficking and racketeering charges.
