As RadarOnline.com reported, Judge Andrew L. Carter denied Diddy's bail on September 18 and deemed him a danger and a flight risk. He's been ordered to remain behind bars until his trafficking and racketeering trial.
Prosecutors claimed Combs interfered with legal proceedings by contacting witnesses and offering compensation for their support, leading to concerns of further obstruction.
Despite Diddy's defense team offering strict security measures, including 24-hour monitoring of his residence, Judge Carter found the bail package insufficient.
The rapper's legal team said: "We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community."
