Sean "Diddy" Combs was recently removed from his MDC jail and transported to a hospital late at night.
This comes as he awaits his sex crimes trial scheduled for May 5 after being charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Sean "Diddy" Combs' latest hospital stint comes a month after it was revealed that he had a "meltdown" in jail during the holiday period.
Why Was Diddy Taken To A Hospital Late At Night?
According to a report, Diddy had to be taken from prison to a nearby hospital on Thursday night.
A law enforcement source close to the situation informed the New York Post that the rapper was transported to the Brooklyn Hospital Center at around 10 p.m.
This late-night movement was allegedly done in order not to draw attention from prison staff or other inmates.
Multiple sources also confirmed to the news outlet that the rapper was taken to the hospital for an MRI scan, a noninvasive test used to examine the organs, tissues, and skeletal system with high-resolution images produced by the MRI machine.
The rapper reportedly did not stay overnight at the hospital and was returned to his cell a few hours later.
Diddy's reason for going to the hospital is still unclear, as a source told Page Six that he had a knee issue, and another claimed to NYP that the rapper was involved in a prison fight.
Although the music mogul's team has yet to clarify his hospital visit, a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said of the situation: "For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for anyone in our custody to include medical status or medical trips."
Diddy Has Had Problems With His Knee In The Past
Diddy has reportedly had a long history of knee issues, previously undergoing four surgeries in two years due to his knee.
In 2020, the music mogul shared on his Instagram Stories that he was prone to having accidents, stating, "I'm clumsy. I trip. I fall. I fall in holes."
"It's always been like that," he continued, per Page Six. "This is my fourth surgery in two years. I've had two rotator cuffs, a knee replacement, and now it's on quad."
"At the end of the day, this is God's work to slow me down," Diddy concluded.
The Rapper Recently Suffered A Massive 'Meltdown' In Jail
Diddy has seemingly been having a tough time in prison, as his recent hospital visit comes a month after he was reported to have had a "meltdown" over his multiple failed bail attempts.
On Thursday, December 26, the rapper allegedly had a breakdown because he couldn't believe he was still stuck in the MDC prison months after his arrest on sex crime charges.
According to the Daily Mail, the rapper had expected to be "out on bail by now" due to the "high-powered legal team" he assembled for his defense.
However, the failure of their efforts to secure his release appeared to have taken a toll on him, making "spending the holidays behind bars" a "nightmare."
Diddy's team has yet to confirm the occurrence of a "meltdown" since the alleged incident was reported.
Diddy Has Lost A Considerable Amount Of Weight Amid His Stay In Jail
Diddy has been in detention at the MDC since his arrest on September 16, 2024, and being locked up in detention appears to have taken a physical toll on him.
Law and Crime reporter Elizabeth Millner reported that during the rapper's last hearing in January, he looked like he had lost a lot of weight.
The journalist noted that Diddy "appeared just astonishingly thinner" and also "appeared greyer a little bit."
"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," Millner added, per Page Six.
The Rapper Was Recently Accused Of Sex Trafficking Two More Victims In His Federal Case
As he awaits his trial in May, the legal issues keep mounting for Diddy. Federal prosecutors recently revised their indictment against him to include the sex trafficking of two new female victims.
The filing, which was made on Thursday in the Southern District of New York, accused Diddy of employing the use of threats to force at least three women "to engage in commercial sex acts' which the rapper called "Freak Offs."
"Like the Freak Offs, these commercial sex acts involving Combs and a female victim were prearranged, sometimes lasted multiple days, were sometimes electronically recorded by Combs and often involved Combs distributing a variety of controlled substances to the victim, in part to keep the victim obedient and compliant," the legal documents read, per Page Six.
Diddy's lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has since slammed the revised indictment in a statement, noting that it contains "no new offenses."
"The prosecution's theory remains flawed," Agnifilo said. "The government has added the ridiculous theory that two of Mr. Combs' former girlfriends were not girlfriends at all but were prostitutes."
