Sean 'Diddy' Combs is accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking.
Combs is currently being held in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center pending trial.
Diddy was charged with three federal counts, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Prosecutors have accused the music mogul of inducing female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, dayslong sexual performances dubbed "freak offs".
The indictment against Diddy also alleges he coerced and abused women for years by using blackmail and violence to keep his victims in line.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Diddy's bail was denied three times.
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."
