Sean "Diddy" Combs, the renowned music mogul currently awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges, was transported from Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center to Brooklyn Hospital late Thursday night. The 55-year-old complained of knee pain, prompting officials to arrange an MRI scan to assess his condition.
The late-night transfer was conducted discreetly to minimize attention and speculation within the prison. After the non-invasive procedure, Combs was returned to his cell. The Bureau of Prisons has not provided specific details regarding the hospital visit, citing privacy concerns.
Combs has a documented history of knee issues, having undergone multiple surgeries in the past. His trial is scheduled to commence on May 5, where he faces allegations of orchestrating a criminal enterprise involving sex trafficking and exploitation. Combs has denied all charges against him.
