Sean “Diddy” Combs, the disgraced music mogul, has reportedly been transported to a hospital from his prison cell.
Combs, 54, is presently in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges; he denies all claims against him.
A law enforcement source informed the New York Post that the rapper was transferred from the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center to Brooklyn Hospital at 10 p.m. on Thursday.
After Combs complained that his “knee was bothering him,” doctors performed an MRI on him, according to the source.
Combs has a long history of knee difficulties, which began when he ran the New York marathon.
According to accounts, after standard testing at the hospital, he was hauled back to jail and marched to his cell.
The hospital visit was reportedly scheduled late at night to avoid suspicion and speculation about his injuries.
Diddy has been dealing with difficulties after being arrested on a number of claims, according to The Sun.
He is thought to have had a Christmas meltdown in prison because he couldn’t believe he was still behind bars during the holiday season.
The music mogul reportedly begged guards to take him to a prison hospital for observation, claiming he was having a breakdown.
According to a source close to Diddy, guards at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center rebuffed his strange plea.
According to the insider, Diddy expected to be out on bond by now, given his powerful legal team.
“Spending the holidays behind bars was a nightmare for him.”
Another source close to the disgraced musician rejected the allegations, saying he is staying strong in prison.
Diddy also reportedly appeared noticeably thinner and greyer at a recent court session following months in federal detention.
According to an eyewitness, the disgraced rapper’s appearance has changed dramatically, fueling conjecture about how prison life is impacting the once-luxurious music magnate.
Law & Crime reporter Elizabeth Millner, who attended the court, said: “He appeared just astonishingly thinner, which you can expect [from him being] inside a federal detention center for a couple of months now.”
“A lot different from the luxury lifestyle that he was living before, but he appeared very noticeably thinner and maybe being locked up in detention is starting to wear on him.”
Combs has faced scores of legal claims for rape and assault in recent months, including cases involving children as young as nine.
He has also been involved in judicial disputes over sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution allegations.
Combs is accused of abusing many women while running Bad Boy Records as a “criminal enterprise” for over a decade.
He has pled not guilty to all charges and disputes the allegations made against him.
In recent days, two more women have come forward and joined a freshly filed New York indictment against Combs.
Federal prosecutors have added “Victim-2” and “Victims-3” to his explosive case, according to TMZ.
Charges against the music entrepreneur first mentioned only “Victim-1,” who is thought to be his ex-girlfriend, singer Casandra Ventura, commonly known as Cassie.
Diddy had previously been charged with sex trafficking “Victim-1”.
According to TMZ, new court records now indicate that the music mogul transported all three ladies to “engage in prostitution”.
Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has maintained that the shocking update in the rapper’s sex crime investigation was “flawed.”
“The most recent Indictment contains no new offenses. “The prosecution’s theory remains flawed,” Agnifilo stated.
Another accusation is made by one of his former assistants, who claims the musician forced him to perform heinous deeds to prove his loyalty to his “king”.
Phillip Pines said that his boss once coerced him into having sex with a girl during a famed “Freak Off” party.
In a complaint, Pines accuses the discredited music star of sexual abuse, harassment, and other allegations.
The ex-assistant made these bombshell charges in a heartbreaking documentary called “The Fall of Diddy.”
Homeland Security detained Combs in Manhattan on September 16 on racketeering and sex trafficking accusations.
He was accused with three federal offenses, one of which said that he compelled his victims to participate in drug-fueled sex parties he dubbed “freak-offs.”
Combs’ trial is expected to start on May 5.
Forrest McFarland, a senior reporter for The Sun, has been covering Diddy’s legal struggles for years.
BEFORE Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested in September, it was widely assumed that the rap artist would be detained after being repeatedly accused of heinous crimes and having two of his residences raided by federal agents.
His legal woes came to a head on September 17, when he was charged with three federal offenses, including sex trafficking, for allegedly forcing victims to participate in drug-fueled sex parties known as “Freak Offs.”
Hours before his arrest, The Sun exclusively learned that federal agents probing Combs were surreptitiously communicating with Tupac Shakur murder prosecutors about gangland activity.
The development came after Combs was mentioned 77 times in documents provided by prosecutors in the Tupac murder case.
Aside from the Tupac case, Combs was already dealing with a spate of litigation, including one with his ex, Cassie Ventura, who accused him of rape and cruelty.
A disturbing hotel security footage from 2016 shows Combs chasing Cassie down and then punching, kicking, and abusing her in a hallway.
Two months earlier, in March 2024, federal agents raided two of Combs’ residences, seizing three AR-15s, cocaine, and 1,000 bottles of lubricant that were part of his “Freak Off” inventory.
In addition to the federal criminal accusations, Combs is facing a number of lawsuits alleging sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking dating back to the early 1990s.
In February 2024, music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a lawsuit alleging that Combs forced him to employ sex workers and perform sex acts while working on his latest record.
Combs has denied any involvement and pleaded not guilty to the federal sex trafficking allegations brought against him, but his fight is not done.
He faces life in jail if convicted on all counts.
