Sean 'Diddy' Combs Faces Jail Restrictions Ahead of May 2025 Trial

The music mogul, charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, remains in federal custody after repeated bail denials and claims of government misconduct.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 55, has been incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since September 2024, awaiting trial on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution.
Combs' legal team has accused prosecutors of misconduct, alleging that his confidential communications and handwritten notes were improperly photographed and shared with prosecutors during a cell search.
A federal judge has denied Combs bail three times, citing concerns over potential witness tampering and the safety of the community, with his trial set to begin on May 5, 2025.
Combs has requested unrestricted access to a government-provided laptop to aid in his defense, arguing that current limitations hinder his ability to prepare for trial effectively.
Despite his incarceration, Combs will spend his first Christmas in jail with planned recreational activities for inmates and a holiday meal featuring baked Cornish hen and holiday desserts.
