It’s been nearly five months since Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested and charged with human trafficking and racketeering. Since then, he’s been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York awaiting his trial.
That is, he was held at the Met Detention Center, until he needed to be rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night.
Diddy Rushed To Hospital
Sources told The New York Post that Diddy, 55, was taken to the hospital at around 10pm last Thursday night. Now here’s where the story gets strange: he was rushed there to get an MRI because his “knee was bothering him.” One insider said that Diddy was taken to the hospital at night in an attempt to avoid speculation from other inmates and prison staffers.
Diddy reportedly did not stay at the hospital overnight. Once the MRI was completed, he was returned to his cell.
“For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for anyone in our custody to include medical status or medical trips,” said a spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons.
Law enforcement sources said were given a heads-up about Diddy’s hospital visit “just in case it was leaked and they would have chaos.”
So what really happened? Would they need to secretly spirit Diddy away for an MRI? For his knee? Something tells us there’s more to this story!

Diddy’s Arrest
Diddy was arrested on September 16, and he’s been in custody ever since after being denied bail multiple times. Diddy has pled not guilty to all of the charges against him. If convicted, the music mogul is facing spending the rest of his life behind bars.
Life at the Metropolitan Detention Center is far from pleasant, and it’s apparently starting to get to Diddy. In December, sources spoke out to claim that he is “astonishingly thinner” and “grayer” after months of incarceration.
“When he first got there, this is kind of normal because you’re going through this transition and you’re depressed,” prison expert Larry Levine told Daily Mail in December. “You don’t know what’s going to happen.”
Levine went on to say that Diddy potentially has incriminating information “on a lot of people.”
“He does get a lot of people in trouble. People want to kill him,” Levine explained. “So what if somebody on the outside knew someone that had a relative that worked in the prison and they put something in his food?”
“A little bit at a time, then he gets poisoned, whatever it is, and it’s early checkout for Mr. Puff Daddy. They kill him,” Levine continued. “That’s another reason, another theory as to why he wasn’t eating. He was afraid the food was poisoned or contaminated.”

Diddy’s Christmas Meltdown
Spending Christmas behind bars may have been the last straw for Diddy. Indeed, it’s been reported that he had a meltdown the next day as he allegedly begged guards to be taken to a prison hospital for observation because he thought he was having a breakdown. When the guards refused his request, he began to lose it even more, according to a source close to Diddy.
“With his high powered legal team Diddy thought he’d be out on bail by now,” the insider told The Mail. “Spending the holidays behind bars was a nightmare for him.”
“He eventually managed to calm himself down with the meditation technique he’s been using while he’s been behind bars,” the source continued. “It took him a few hours of deep breathing and focusing to get out of the bad space he was in, but he finally managed it.”
Getting to leave prison for even a short amount of time had to have been a real treat for Diddy. Only time will tell if he is ever a free man again.
