Sean “Diddy” Combs was reportedly taken from a federal prison in New Jersey to a hospital on Saturday, October 10, after suffering a head injury.

The injury was described as non-life-threatening, and Combs was conscious and speaking before he was hospitalized, according to reports cited by the Los Angeles Times. The circumstances of the injury have not been publicly established.

A representative for Combs said his team was working to confirm what happened and that his health and well-being were their immediate concern. A spokesperson for the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix did not comment on the reported hospitalization.

Combs, 56, is serving a 50-month federal sentence after being convicted in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, and his legal team has appealed his conviction and sentence.

His projected release date was recently changed from January 21, 2028, to March 2, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate database cited by the Los Angeles Times. The reason for the change was not stated.
