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 10pm Thursday, local time, 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 Centre to Brooklyn Hospital for the non-invasive test, a source told Page Six.

The medical scan was authorised 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.

EX-ASSISTANT CLAIMS HE WAS ORDERED TO HAVE SEX

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former personal assistant broke down in tears in a new interview as he described the moment his former employer allegedly ordered him to have sex with a girl to “prove” his “loyalty.”

Speaking with journalist Mara S. Campo for Investigation Discovery’s docuseries “The Fall of Diddy,” which released its first two episodes last week, Phillip Pines revealed new details about the shocking allegations he made against the disgraced hip-hop mogul, 55, in a lawsuit he filed in December.

Pines, who allegedly worked for Combs from 2019 to 2021, is suing him for sexual battery, sexual harassment and sex trafficking, claiming that his job duties were to enable Combs’ alleged sexual activities.

In addition to facing a lawsuit from Pines and several others, Diddy is currently locked up in a Brooklyn jail as he awaits trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all the charges and denied Pines’ allegations.

In his new interview for the ID doc, Pines claimed loyalty was “everything” to Diddy, adding that the moment the disgraced musician allegedly told him to “prove himself’ was “something I won’t forget.”

“My life changed and I’ve never really recovered from it,” he said through tears.

According to Pines, Diddy had been drinking all day before the alleged “freak-off.”

The former assistant went on to claim he was allegedly pressured to partake in the sex party after his boss offered him alcohol.

“I took a shot (of alcohol) with them. That was his way of making sure you felt comfortable,” Pines recounted.

“I go back to the office, sit there, get summoned again, take a shot, take a shot. He’s out of his mind. He’s in rare form as we would call it.”

Tearing up, he continued, “I remember hearing the words prove your loyalty to me, (your) King.”

“He grabbed me by the shoulders, gave me a massage like a coach would give a player that’s about to enter the game, handed me a condom, pushed me to a girl that was on the couch, a guest.”

Tearing up, Pines said, “I remember hearing the words prove your loyalty to me, (your) King.”

Pines claimed, “I froze before it took place, I didn’t know what was happening. In the moment it felt like what, is this fun for him? Is this a test for entertainment, does he know he’s doing this? Is he that gone?”

“I didn’t know what to do.”

“She gave me consent, yeah, nodded her head,” Pines said of the woman Diddy allegedly wanted him to have sex with.

“I performed for a little bit and then I ran out of there as soon as I didn’t see him in my sight anymore.”

Explaining why he agreed, the rapper’s ex-assistant claimed he saw Diddy allegedly physically assault employees who stood up to him.

“I saw how angry he could get from the simplest thing. I thought to myself if I don’t do this I don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said.

Today, Pines has a “great sense of remorse” about what he said happened.

He also shared that he believed a “bomb would explode” if he ever divulged abut the alleged incident.

“I come from a Christian background and I lean on those morals heavily,” he said, crying.

Diddy’s lawyer told The Post: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted, or sex trafficked anyone – man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”
