The 55-year-old was taken to the hospital at around 10 p.m. last Thursday.

As Page Six reports, the transport took place late in the evening, as it was supposed to happen after dark. They did not want to attract the attention of other inmates or staff.

Multiple sources confirmed to the newspaper that Diddy underwent an MRI because his knee was bothering him.

Others speculated that the 55-year-old had been involved in a fight or that there was another reason for the hospital visit. However, this could not be confirmed.

The "Act Bad" singer already has a long history of suffering from knee problems. In the past, he underwent four operations in the space of two years.

In his Instagram story, he once admitted that he was very clumsy and often fell.

The rapper is currently awaiting trial, as he has been charged with several counts of sexual assault, sex trafficking and organized crime.

He pleaded not guilty and denied any wrongdoing. The trial is scheduled for the beginning of May.
