Sean Diddy Combs was reportedly rushed from his prison cell to a nearby hospital for a medical emergency late Thursday night (January 30).
Multiple sources have confirmed that the 55-year-old hip-hop mogul, who remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, was discreetly transported to Brooklyn Hospital Center around 10 p.m.
According to a law enforcement source speaking to The Post, the transfer was conducted in a highly confidential manner to minimize attention from both inmates and prison staff. A separate insider told Page Six that authorities strategically scheduled the transfer at night to maintain a low profile and avoid unnecessary scrutiny.
Reports indicate that Combs was undergoing an MRI scan, a standard medical procedure used to examine internal body structures, including muscles, bones, and organs. While details regarding the specific reason for the test have not been disclosed, Combs has a long history of knee issues and has undergone multiple surgeries in recent years. In 2020, he publicly shared that he had his fourth knee surgery within a span of just two years.
Medical emergencies in correctional facilities are often handled with discretion to maintain security and prevent any potential disruptions. Given Combs’ high-profile status, extra measures were likely taken to ensure his transfer proceeded smoothly and without unnecessary complications.
Authorities have not provided further details on his current condition or whether he has since been returned to his prison cell. However, sources close to the situation suggest that the medical issue was not life-threatening, and his hospitalization was precautionary rather than urgent.
As Combs awaits further legal proceedings, his health condition remains under close monitoring. This latest development adds yet another layer of complexity to his already tumultuous legal battle, keeping both the media and his supporters on high alert for further updates.
