Sean 'Diddy' Combs will remain in a Brooklyn jail as a federal appeals court reviews his third bail request related to sex trafficking charges. Circuit Judge William J. Nardini denied his immediate release, referring the matter to a three-judge panel within the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Combs, who has pleaded not guilty, has been incarcerated since his arrest on September 16, facing serious allegations including racketeering conspiracy. His legal team proposed a $50 million bail package allowing home detention at his Florida estate, arguing that he poses minimal flight risk and can be monitored effectively. However, previous judges have expressed concerns over the potential for witness intimidation and obstruction of justice, with one judge stating no conditions could adequately mitigate these risks. Combs' trial is scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025.
