Music mogul and Bad Boy Records founder Sean "Diddy" Combs has been denied bail by Judge Arun Subramanian, who cited a pattern of violent behavior as the primary reason for keeping the rapper in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn ahead of his sentencing.
According to The Mirror US, Diddy’s legal team failed to convince the court that he poses “no danger to any person,” a key requirement for bail. The judge acknowledged that Combs has already spent nearly 10 months in jail, which will be applied to his final sentence.
While Diddy is requesting release on a $1 million bond with travel restrictions and a surrendered passport, the court remains unconvinced. He could face up to 20 years in prison following his conviction on two out of five federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
During the proceedings, the judge made reference to surveillance footage showing Diddy assaulting singer Cassie Ventura, describing the act as “clear domestic violence.” He also cited a separate 2024 incident involving another victim named “Jane.”
CNN reports that Judge Subramanian emphasized Diddy’s repeated disregard for the law and noted that “the defense conceded” his history of violence. Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, stated in his closing arguments: “We own it.”
Outside the courthouse, scenes of celebration turned chaotic as supporters clashed with critics, drawing further media attention.
Despite Diddy pleading not guilty to all charges and denying the allegations raised in related civil suits, the court’s decision underscores the severity of the evidence and public scrutiny.
With a tentative sentencing date set for October, the spotlight remains firmly on the embattled music icon as he faces one of the most consequential legal battles of his life.
