    Sean 'Diddy' Combs is said to have been secretly rushed from his jail cell to hospital after reportedly complaining of knee pain

    The disgraced music mogul, 55, is currently behind bars at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center in New York awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering - and denies all allegations against him


    It's now been widely reported around 10pm on Thursday (30.01.25) Combs was taken from his prison cell to Brooklyn Hospital, where an MRI scan was completed on his knee.

    A law enforcement source told the New York Post the shamed rapper, who has a history of knee problems dating back to his participation in the New York marathon, had been suffering from ongoing discomfort.

    After undergoing routine tests, Combs was reportedly returned to his cell later that evening, with the hospital visit being carefully timed to avoid drawing attention, according to sources.

    The incident comes amid a raft of fresh lawsuits hitting Combs since his arrest in September.

    Along with accusations of sex trafficking, he is also facing federal charges of racketeering and sexual assault - some now dating back decades. He faces charges for allegedly running a "criminal enterprise" through his label, Bad Boy Records, while also accused of using his power to abuse multiple women, including 37-year-old former girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

    Combs' attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has dismissed the charges, saying the prosecution's case remains "flawed."

    As recently as December, Combs was the subject of a new indictment which added two additional victims to the case.

    Federal prosecutors claim these women, alongside Ventura, were forced into prostitution by the mogul.

    Alongside his criminal charges, Combs is facing multiple civil lawsuits, including one from former assistant Phillip Pines, who accused the rapper of forcing him to perform degrading acts as a sign of loyalty.

    Combs' trial is set to begin on May 5.

    It's also been reported he has lost weight and has grey hair as he struggles with his tough prison regime.
