Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has renewed his bid for bail, filing a new motion on Friday, November 9, in hopes of securing release from jail as he awaits his trial in May 2024. His latest motion argues that other defendants facing similar federal charges have been granted bail, even as Diddy’s previous requests have been repeatedly denied.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Diddy’s legal team has put forward a detailed proposal, offering a $50 million bond alongside 24/7 surveillance to guarantee his compliance with court conditions. This motion follows unsuccessful attempts in September, when his previous bail applications were rejected twice.
Diddy’s attorneys noted that individuals with similar charges have been granted bail with considerably smaller bond amounts. They cited examples, including a CEO accused of both sex trafficking and witness intimidation who was allowed bail on bonds of $10 million and $500K—far lower than Diddy’s proposed package.
Despite these arguments, Diddy remains detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn. The judge previously ruled that the government had provided sufficient evidence to suggest he poses a potential danger. Combs faces federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and facilitating prostitution.
