Sean “Diddy” Combs was removed from federal prison in an ambulance after a late-night medical emergency.
The music mogul reportedly departed FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey around 1 a.m. Saturday for treatment of a head injury. He returned to the prison grounds before sunrise.
Sources indicate that Combs was conscious and able to speak when he was brought back to Fort Dix prior to dawn. He was inside the facility within hours.
The cause of the head injury remains unclear. The timeline is notable: the ambulance left after midnight, Combs received treatment outside the prison, and he was returned before morning began. No official diagnosis, incident report, transportation details, or explanation from prison authorities has been released publicly.
This incident occurs during a period of heightened scrutiny for Combs at Fort Dix. Earlier this month, Combs was moved from dormitory housing to special housing after allegations emerged about preferential treatment and contraband within the prison. His legal team stated that Combs is serving his sentence while awaiting a decision on his appeal.
Combs received a 50-month federal sentence in October 2025 following a jury conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was later transferred to Fort Dix, a low-security federal facility in New Jersey.
The medical transport at 1 a.m. indicates that prison staff deemed the situation required immediate care beyond what could be handled within the facility. The fact that Combs returned before sunrise and was conscious is reassuring, but it does not clarify how the injury occurred or whether an investigation is underway.
As of now, details about the incident remain confidential and are being held by prison authorities.
