Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is denied release on bond to await sentencing

NEW YORK, AUG 4 – A judge cited Sean Combs' history of violence and deemed him unsafe for supervision, denying bail despite a $50 million bond offer, with sentencing set for October.

  • On Monday, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian denied Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ motion, finding he 'fails to satisfy his burden to demonstrate an entitlement to release.'
  • Since last week, Combs has been held without bail as his lawyers requested release pending sentencing on October 3.
  • The judge noted concerns about Combs' flight risk and found he failed to show sufficient evidence to counter supervision arguments.
  • Combs, who pleaded not guilty, faces up to 10 years in prison after being convicted of two counts of prostitution-related offenses among five criminal charges.
  • Ahead of his sentencing, his legal team continues to press for bail, despite the judge's Monday denial, with sentencing scheduled for Oct. 3.
