Diddy was reportedly hospitalized last week after complaining of knee pain while in jail.
According to the New York Post, the incarcerated mogul was taken from his cell in Metropolitan Detention Center to a hospital in Brooklyn last Thursday (January 30) to undergo an MRI scan.

The scan was authorized by jail authorities after Diddy reported pain in his knee, an issue that has bothered him for years since running the New York Marathon.
The Post reports that the scan was booked for around 10 p.m. to avoid any commotion around Diddy’s medical care from other inmates or jail staff.

The 55-year-old did not have to stay in hospital overnight and was transported back to jail shortly after his scan.
Diddy and his legal team have not yet commented on his health, while a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson refused to comment on the medical condition of any inmate.

The Bad Boy boss has been behind bars since September 2024 after being arrested on multiple charges including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
His legal woes recently worsened after federal prosecutors in New York filed a superseding indictment against him, adding two more female victims and a series of allegations to the case.

The original indictment named just one victim, referred to as “Victim-1,” who all signs point to being his ex-girlfriend Cassie. The two women in the new indictment are also unnamed.
The filing claims that Diddy “used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims, including but not limited to three female victims, to engage in commercial sex acts,” known as “freak offs.”
It also expands the timeline of the allegations, claiming his criminal conduct occured between 2004 and 2024 — four years longer than the original indictment stated.
Puffy, like his old nemesis Suge Knight, is also said to have “dangled a victim over an apartment balcony” as part of a long-running pattern of violent abuse.

The indictment further claims that the mogul violated federal drug laws by using various narcotics such as methamphetamine, cocaine and oxycodone, and paid hotel staff in Los Angeles $100,000 for the security footage of him brutally attacking Cassie in 2016.
Marc Agnifilo, Diddy’s lead defense attorney, responded to the indictment by saying: “The prosecution’s theory remains flawed. The government has added the ridiculous theory that two of Mr. Combs’ former girlfriends were not girlfriends at all but were prostitutes.

“Mr. Combs is as committed as ever to fighting these charges and winning at trial.”
Diddy’s trial is set to begin on May 5. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.
