Diddy is dealing with more than just legal woes.
It goes without saying that Diddy has a lot on his plate at the moment. Back in September, the Bad Boy founder was arrested on charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He’s currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn awaiting his trial, which is expected to begin in March. On top of all of this, he’s also facing several lawsuits from individuals accusing him of sexual assault and other forms of abuse.
It looks like legal issues aren’t all that’s plaguing Diddy these days, however. According to TMZ, the mogul was hospitalized last week becayse his knee was “bothering him.” The outlet adds that he was taken to a local hospital for an MRI of the knee, which he’s reportedly had issues with in the past.

“I cannot comment on anything related to prisoner movements,” his lawyer Marc Agnifilo told the outlet when asked about the hospitalization. “Also, I’m not commenting on anything related to possible medical issues.” News of Diddy’s hospitalization arrives just a few days after he was hit with a superseding indictment. The new filing includes additional alleged victims, kidnapping allegations, and even arson allegations. It also extends the alleged racketeering conspiracy to 20 years. Agnifilo addressed this on his behalf in a statement last week, shutting down the prosecution’s theory and defending his client.
“The latest indictment contains no new offenses,” Agnifilo said, per AllHipHop. “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.”
