Sean ‘Diddy’ moved to hospital for late night MRI

Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken to the hospital from a federal lockup in Brooklyn under cover of darkness last week, The Post can reveal.

Sources confirmed that he was transported to a nearby hospital about 10 p.m. Thursday to undergo an MRI.

The 55-year-old rap kingpin, who is awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, was taken from the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center to Brooklyn Hospital for the noninvasive test, a source told Page Six.

The medical scan was authorized because his “knee was bothering him,” citing the rapper’s long history of knee issues after he ran the New York marathon, the source said.

The insider added that the hospital visit was done late at night in order to avoid whispers and further speculation from other inmates or prison staffers.

Combs did not stay overnight and was taken back to his cell after the MRI concluded, the source said.

A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told The Post, “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.”

Law enforcement source said they were given a heads up about what occurred “just in case it was leaked and they would have chaos.”

Reps and attorneys for Combs could not immediately be reached for comment.

The music mogul has been held at MDC since he was denied bail on Dec. 3 and is awaiting trial on sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution charges. 

Combs was accused of abusing several women and leading Bad Boy Records as a “criminal enterprise” for more than a decade.

Combs forced his lovers into the “Freak-Offs,” days-long sexual “performances” where the women had sex with male escorts while he watched and masturbated, according to court papers. 

He would secretly film the encounters to use as leverage against his alleged victims, the feds claim.

Combs has denied all wrongdoing. His trial is scheduled to begin on May 5.
