Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs hospitalised after being transferred from Brooklyn prison
Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs was reportedly hospitalised last week “under cover of darkness.” The Bad Boy boss, who is currently jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, has allegedly been experiencing issues with his knee.
Combs was taken to a local hospital at around 10pm on January 30th for an MRI scan. A source said that his “knee was bothering him” after experiencing issues since running the New York Marathon over 20 years ago.
An insider told the New York Post that the scan was undertaken late at night to avoid whispers and speculation from prison inmates and staff members. Although Combs went to the hospital late, he didn’t stay overnight and returned to his cell that night.
“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,” a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said. A law enforcement source also said they were warned about the hospitalisation “just in case it was leaked and they would have chaos.”
The rapper’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told TMZ, “I cannot comment on anything related to prisoner movements. Also, I’m not commenting on anything related to possible medical issues.”
Combs was previously hospitalised in 2017 surrounding his knee. “Just had my final knee surgery. They’d said I’d never run again. I said the devil is a liar,” he wrote on Instagram. “3 surgeries in one year! 3rd times the charm!!! #Rebirth.”
He continued, “Don’t take the simple things in life for granted. Thank you to all the surgeons and docs and PTs. I THANK GOD FOR YALL! I don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t have my sons by my side these last two years! They have been more than sons they have been my support system.”
Combs ran the New York Marathon in 2003 in an official time of four hours, 14 minutes and 54 seconds despite suffering leg cramps for around half the distance. “I’ve never experienced mental or physical pain like that,” he told reporters at the finish line. “But it was a beautiful experience. I was in real trouble, and I wanted to stop. It was a life-changing experience because I did not stop.”
