Diddy Denied Bail, Faces Sentencing After Partial Conviction

Sean “Diddy” Combs will be spending the Fourth of July behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, following his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Although acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, Combs faces up to 20 years in prison and remains incarcerated pending sentencing in October. His prison meals on Independence Day will include cereal and breakfast cake for breakfast, a choice of hamburger or hot dog with sides for lunch, and baked fish or black beans with vegetables for dinner. Despite his legal setbacks, Combs’ legal team continues to fight the verdict, while Cassie Ventura’s lawyer emphasized her client’s role in the investigation and expressed concerns about Combs’ potential danger if released. The judge denied Combs’ bail request, citing a propensity for violence, much to the shock of Combs and his family, who had anticipated his release. Fans celebrated his partial acquittal outside the courthouse, but the rapper remains behind bars as the legal process continues.
