Sean 'Diddy' Combs seeks release on $50-million bond ahead of sentencing

NEW YORK, JUL 30 – Sean Combs' defense requests release on $50 million bond citing unusual incarceration circumstances and offers travel limits and home detention ahead of October sentencing.

  • A $50 million bond request was filed on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, seeking Combs' release until October 3, 2025, with his Miami home as collateral.
  • That filing marks his fifth bond request after an eight-week trial and detention since his September 2024 arrest at MDC Brooklyn.
  • The defense proposed mental health and substance abuse treatment, a $50 million bond secured by Miami residence, and travel restrictions to Southern Districts of Florida and New York, citing case law.
  • Judge Subramanian has given prosecutors until Thursday, July 31, 2025, to respond, and Combs will stay in custody unless the motion is granted before his October 3, 2025.
  • These arguments could shape perceptions of Mann Act enforcement, as Combs’ lawyers argue that prosecution for consensual conduct is rare, prompting the U.S. Bureau of Prisons to undertake “intensive efforts” at MDC Brooklyn.
