Diddy Denied House Arrest Proposal Ahead of Trial

Sean 'Diddy' Combs appeared in court for his third bail hearing, where he proposed to live under house arrest in a three-bedroom Upper East Side apartment with 24/7 security, after previous requests to be detained at his Star Island mansion were rejected. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian will decide on the bail request next week, while Diddy's legal team argues that the proposed conditions would be more restrictive than his current detention. Prosecutors expressed concerns over Diddy's alleged attempts to contact witnesses and labeled him as untrustworthy, citing evidence of unauthorized communication from jail. The judge noted that allowing Diddy out on bail could undermine the legal process and described the situation as a potential 'pay to play' scenario. Diddy faces serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, to which he has pleaded not guilty, and could face significant prison time if convicted. The outcome of the bail decision remains pending, with critical implications for Diddy's ongoing legal battle.
