Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was reportedly rushed out of federal prison on Saturday morning after suffering a head injury in a fall.

Sources at the Fort Dix federal correctional institution in New Jersey said the 56-year-old rapper was taken by ambulance out of the prison and was ‘conscious and speaking’ when he was returned before sunrise on Saturday.

Diddy’s spokesman Juda Engelmayer told The Daily Mail: ‘We are aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs and are working to confirm the circumstances.

‘Sean’s health and well-being are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out. It has not been revealed how Diddy suffered the alleged injury.

Diddy was sentenced to four years and two months in prison last year on two prostitution charges following a widely publicized trial.

A jury found him guilty of two counts of transporting prostitutes across state lines for the purpose of sex at his federal trial. The jury acquitted him on the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Diddy was originally set to be released in May 2028, but that date has been moved multiple times. Last week, it was revealed the disgraced rapper was expected to spend even more time in prison after his release date was pushed back.

According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records the Daily Mail reviewed, Combs is now scheduled for release on March 2, 2028, six weeks later than his previous release date of January 21, 2028.

The setback for the disgraced rapper is interestingly timed, as the update comes a little over a week after it emerged that he had been sent back to solitary confinement amid reports that he had allegedly been receiving lavish ‘VIP’ treatment in prison.

According to People, which first reported on the release date change, Diddy remains in solitary.

‘For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including reasons for a change in release date,’ the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement to the publication.

The latest update follows claims about Diddy’s alleged special treatment behind bars.

The disgraced hip-hop mogul was returned to solitary confinement in response to a recent NBC News report about the alleged special treatment he’s been receiving from inmates willing to do his bidding, including cooking for him, cleaning his cell, and even offering massages.

Sources told TMZ that moving Diddy aligns with standard procedure while prison officials conduct an investigation.

However, it’s unclear if an investigation is still ongoing, and if his ongoing stay in solitary confinement is standard procedure.

The rapper was previously put in solitary back in July after getting into a fight with another inmate.

In the new NBC report, one inmate claimed Diddy has access to a cell phone where he receives nude photos from a former girlfriend as well as a ‘jailbroken’ tablet that he’s used to watch his nemesis 50 Cent’s damning documentary about him.

Diddy’s representative Juda S Engelmayer told the Daily Mail about the recent reports: ‘There is no way we can independently verify those rumors.’

Four men who spent time in Diddy’s unit opened up to the publication about his allegedly luxurious lifestyle – revealing how the music mogul has been living it up during his years-long prison sentence.

According to the insiders, Diddy enjoyed premium liquor smuggled in by guards, has purchased a mood-boosting antidepressant from inmates, and has fellow prisoners store his fan mail and phone for him.

One inmate provides him with Chinese-style massages.

Maintaining this lifestyle doesn’t come cheap; Diddy apparently spends thousands of dollars a month to keep enjoying the luxury prison life.

The funding apparently comes from prisoners who work for Diddy, whose commissary accounts are replenished by people on the outside.

Photos obtained by the publication showed meals inmates prepared specifically for him and others: pizza and a plate of meat with rice.

‘This is not some normal s*** you see in jail. This is some rich s***,’ according to one of the men.

In response to the article, Engelmayer told The Daily Mail: ‘The continued scrutiny of every mundane detail of Sean Combs’s life in prison has reached the point where the media characterizes ordinary prison life as news.’

‘The only real news is that Sean continues to serve his sentence within the rules and he patiently awaits the court’s decision on his appeal.’
