Sean "Diddy" Combs, currently awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, was transported from a federal detention facility in Brooklyn to a hospital last Thursday (January 30) for an MRI, as per a report. The transport took place around 10 p.m., with Combs being moved under cover of darkness from the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) to Brooklyn Hospital.

Diddy undergoes MRI

Sources informed Page Six, as reported by the New York Post, that the 55-year-old rapper was transported to the hospital for a noninvasive MRI test. While the nature of the medical concerns prompting the test remains unclear, the move comes amid ongoing legal proceedings in which Combs faces sex trafficking charges.

Knee issues prompt MRI test

The medical scan was authorised because Combs’ knee had been troubling him, with the source citing the rapper’s history of knee problems following his participation in the New York marathon.

Hospital transfer conducted discreetly

To maintain discretion and avoid speculation among other inmates and prison staff, the transfer was conducted under the cover of darkness, an insider explained.
