Diddy will remain in custody after a judge denied his bail once again, stating that no conditions could guarantee the safety of the community.
As previously reported, he was in federal court last week seeking release on a $50 million bond after facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and other serious offenses.

On Friday, Diddy appeared in a New York courtroom with his attorneys as he made his fourth appeal for bail. His prior requests for bond were denied by judges, despite Diddy offering his $50 million Miami Beach mansion as collateral. He also proposed to be placed under house arrest with 24/7 security and a complete ban on contact with alleged victims or witnesses.
In a ruling submitted on Wednesday, the presiding judge noted significant concerns regarding potential witness tampering, as well as clear indications of Combs’ violent behavior. This was highlighted by referencing the well-known 2016 footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie, along with their later text message exchanges.
In the messages cited in the judge’s ruling, Cassie expressed her concerns to Diddy regarding her injuries, stating that he was “sick for believing it’s acceptable to act the way you have.”

The judge has also referenced evidence indicating that Diddy has breached regulations concerning communication while incarcerated. This includes allegations of him compensating fellow inmates to utilize their Phone Access Code numbers in order to call individuals who are not on his authorized contact list.
The judge further stated that there is “persuasive evidence of Combs’s inclination toward violence,” which serves as an additional justification for his continued detention.
