Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs taken from prison to hospital late at night

Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is awaiting his sex trafficking trial behind bars, was taken from a Brooklyn prison to a nearby hospital late Thursday night, Page Six can confirm.

A law enforcement source first told The Post that the embattled music mogul, 55, was transported from the Metropolitan Detention Center to the Brooklyn Hospital Center at around 10 p.m.

An insider exclusively tells Page Six that transport was made after dark in order to be inconspicuous, as they did not want to attract attention from other inmates or prison staffers.

Multiple sources confirmed to The Post and Page Six that Combs went to get an MRI, which is a non-invasive medical imaging test that produces detailed images of almost every internal structure in the human body, including the organs, bones, muscles and blood vessels.

A source says the “Last Night” rapper’s knee was bothering him and so he went to get it checked out.

We’re told Combs did not stay overnight at the hospital and was back at his cell within a few hours.

A separate source speculated to The Post that the musician had been involved in a prison fight or had some other emergency, but we’re told that was not the case.

Reps and attorneys for Combs did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson, meanwhile, told The Post, “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.”

Combs has had a long history of knee problems. In 2020, he underwent his fourth surgery in two years.

The “Bad Boy for Life” rapper admitted via his Instagram Stories at the time that he was very accident-prone, saying, “I’m clumsy. I trip. I fall. I fall in holes.

“It’s always been like that. This is my fourth surgery in two years. I’ve had two rotator cuffs, a knee replacement, and now it’s on quad.”

He concluded at the time, “At the end of the day, this is God’s work to slow me down.”

Five years later, Combs is facing a slew of sexual assault lawsuits and serious jail time for multiple charges, including federal sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He has pleaded not guilty and denied any wrongdoing, but will have to wait until his trial begins on May 5 before he is able to fight to be a free man again.

The Bad Boy Records founder has been denied bail three times and there have been reports that his prison stint is starting to take a toll on his body.

A reporter for Law and Crime claimed after a hearing last December that Combs appeared “astonishingly thinner” and grayer than when he was first taken into custody three months prior.

However, a source told Page Six at the time that the former “Making the Band” producer was “fit, healthy and fully focused on his defense.”

“He has been very active, remains in good spirits, and, as always, he was happy to see his children,” the insider added. We were also told that Combs works out regularly.
