Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly been transported to a local hospital, according to multiple outlets.
Diddy, 55, had claimed his knee was bothering him, according to Sunday, February 2, reports from the Daily Mail and Page Six. The outlets further reported that Diddy received an MRI to check on an old injury and was sent back to the Metropolitan Detention Center several hours later.
Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for both Diddy and the Metropolitan Detention Center for comment.
The disgraced music mogul has been in jail since September 2024, when he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. A 14-page indictment claimed that Diddy “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him” for decades.
Sean “Diddy” Combs is undergoing “treatment and therapy” amid his recent legal woes, his attorney said during an arraignment hearing on Tuesday, September 17. During Tuesday’s hearing in New York, Diddy’s main attorney, Marc Agnifilo, noted that the rapper and business mogul is in “treatment and therapy for things that most respectfully he needs treatment […]
Diddy pleaded not guilty to the claims before being remanded to Brooklyn’s MDC ahead of his trial date, which is slated to begin in May. He was also denied bail following four separate appeals.
“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.”
John Shearer/Getty Images for The Hollywood Reporter Sean “Diddy” Combs has been ordered to remain in jail until his trial for sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy begins. With the Wednesday, September 18, order, Judge Andrew L. Carter Jr. rejected an appeal by Diddy’s lawyers requesting that he be released on bail, per The New York […]
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.
