Renowned rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was reportedly transported to a hospital late last week from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. According to sources, the rapper was taken to Brooklyn Hospital Center around 10 p.m. on Thursday, January 30.
Authorities revealed that Combs was escorted discreetly to avoid drawing attention from both inmates and prison staff. This effort was reportedly made to maintain security and prevent unnecessary commotion within the detention facility.
Why Was Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Taken to the Hospital?
Reports indicate that the rapper underwent an MRI scan at the hospital. Sources say the test was ordered after Combs complained about knee pain, a condition he has suffered from since participating in the New York Marathon. Following the MRI, Combs was swiftly returned to his detention center cell.
In response to inquiries, a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson stated, “For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for anyone in our custody, including medical status or medical trips.”
Legal Troubles and Detention
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been in federal custody since September 2024 as he faces serious legal charges. The disgraced music mogul has been charged with racketeering, trafficking-related offenses, and other allegations.

Meanwhile, sources suggest that authorities had been informed in advance about Combs’ medical transport to prepare for any potential leaks or public reaction.
