DISGRACED music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly been rushed to hospital from his prison cell. Combs, 54, is currently in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges - he denies all of the allegations against him. The rapper was taken from the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center to Brooklyn Hospital around 10pm on Thursday, a law enforcement source told the New York Post.

Doctors completed an MRI scan on Combs after he complained his "knee was bothering him", the source added. Combs has had a long history of knee issues in the past which started after he ran the New York marathon. After routine tests at the hospital he was then transported back to jail and marched to his cell, say reports. Across the past few months, Combs has been hit with dozens of civil lawsuits for rape and assault including against children as young as 9.

He has also been caught up in legal battles over sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution charges. Combs is accused of abusing several women and leading Bad Boy Records as a “criminal enterprise” for more than a decade. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies all allegations against him. By The U.S. Sun's Senior Reporter Forrest McFarland, who has been reporting on Diddy's legal battles for years.

BEFORE Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest in September, it was highly speculated that the rap star would find himself in custody after he was repeatedly hit with disturbing accusations - and had two of his mansions raided by the feds. His mounting legal troubles finally came to a head on September 17, when he was charged with three federal counts, including sex trafficking, for allegedly forcing victims to take part in drug-fueled sex parties he called "Freak Offs.".

Hours before his arrest, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the feds investigating Combs were secretly liaising with Tupac Shakur murder prosecutors on gangland activities. The development also came after Combs was named 77 times in documents submitted by prosecutors in the Tupac murder case. Aside from the Tupac probe, Combs was already facing a slew of lawsuits, including one he settled with his ex, Cassie Ventura, after she accused him of rape and abuse.

Disturbing hotel surveillance video from 2016 showed Combs chasing Cassie down and then punching, kicking, and beating her in a hallway. Two months earlier, in March 2024, two of Combs' mansions were raided by federal investigators, who seized three AR-15s, drugs, and 1,000 bottles of lube which were part of his "Freak Off" supplies. In addition to his federal criminal charges, Combs also faces a handful of lawsuits with allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking dating back to the early 1990s.

Music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones filed one suit in February 2024, claiming Combs forced him to hire sex workers and participate in sex acts while he worked on his latest album. Combs has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the federal sex trafficking charges against him, but his battle is far from over. He faces life in prison if he's convicted on all counts.
