Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly been transported to a local hospital, according to multiple outlets.
Diddy, 55, had disclosed that his knee was causing him trouble, as reported by the Daily Mail and Page Six on Sunday, February 2. It was stated that Diddy underwent an MRI to assess an old injury and was returned to the Metropolitan Detention Center a few hours later.
Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for both Diddy and the Metropolitan Detention Center for comment.
The disgraced music magnate has been incarcerated since September 2024, after being apprehended on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy, and transporting individuals for prostitution. A 14-page indictment alleged that Diddy had mistreated, intimidated, and manipulated women and others in his circle over many years.
Diddy entered a plea of not guilty to the accusations and was then detained at Brooklyn’s MDC pending his trial scheduled to commence in May. Despite four appeals, he was unsuccessful in securing bail.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.”
The statement concluded, “To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Agnifilo said in a separate statement later in September 2024 that Diddy was getting “treatment and therapy” while behind bars.
“Mr. Combs is not a perfect person,” the statement concluded. “There’s been drug use, there’s been toxic relationships — which I think were mutual in their toxicity as these things often are.”
According to the lawyer, it should be commended that Diddy was getting help “at the ripe age of 54.” He later turned 55 amid his prison stay.
