New Jersey, October 14, 2026. — Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is making headlines once again after reportedly being rushed out of a federal prison in New Jersey following a medical emergency involving a head injury.

According to an initial report by TMZ, the 56-year-old rapper and entrepreneur was transported by ambulance from FCI Fort Dix in the early hours of Saturday, October 10, to receive medical attention. Sources indicated that the injury was not life-threatening and that Combs was conscious and speaking when he returned to the correctional facility several hours later.

However, conflicting accounts have emerged regarding what actually caused the injury.

Early reports suggested that Combs had accidentally struck his head against a bunk bed inside his prison cell. On Wednesday, however, TMZ reported that the injury may have resulted from a physical altercation with Christopher “Dudus” Coke, a notorious Jamaican drug trafficker serving a 23-year federal prison sentence.

According to sources cited by TMZ, the alleged confrontation was connected to growing tensions among inmates following an NBC News investigation into Combs' reported privileged lifestyle behind bars.

The NBC report alleged that the former Bad Boy Records founder had been paying fellow prisoners to cook, clean, and provide massages. Sources also claimed he had access to contraband alcohol and other unauthorized items.

Following those revelations, prison officials reportedly conducted searches and confiscated prohibited belongings, allegedly fueling resentment among inmates.

Combs' representative, Ezra Hermann, told the Miami Herald that his team was aware of the medical emergency reports and was working to confirm the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Hermann also emphasized that Combs' health and well-being remained their immediate priority and expressed appreciation to those who had reached out with concern.

Neither the alleged prison fight nor the original bunk-bed accident account has been officially confirmed by Combs' representatives.

The incident comes as the Grammy-winning producer continues serving his federal sentence following his July 2025 conviction on two prostitution-related transportation charges. He was acquitted of the more serious racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.

Meanwhile, records from the Federal Bureau of Prisons indicate that Combs' projected release date has changed again and is now scheduled for March 2, 2028.

As questions continue to surround the circumstances of his injury, the latest incident adds another chapter to the ongoing controversies surrounding the once-powerful entertainment executive's life behind bars.
