Diddy Denied $50 Million Bond Proposal to Get Out of Jail After Arrest

After the rapper was arrested in New York City and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution—two of which carry a maximum sentence of life in prison—according to a newly unsealed federal indictment viewed by E! News, Combs has also been denied bond to be released from jail, according to NBC News.

Combs—who pled not guilty Sept. 17—submitted a request for a $50 million bond in a letter to New York judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky, offering a proposed package that would allow Combs to “fight this case in Court effectively,” per the letter obtained by E! News.

The package included the $50,000,000 bond, which was co-signed by the 54-year-old’s family—including his mother Janice Combs, sister Keisha Combs and three of his sons—several of whom also surrendered their passports following the raid on Diddy’s homes in March, according to the letter. The package also offered equity in both his Miami home, as well as his mother’s and limited his travel to within certain parts of Florida, New York and New Jersey.

However, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York requested in a memo that he remain in jail until his trial, with U.S. Attorney Damian Williams stating that Combs’ “disposition to violence cannot be reasonably prevented through bail conditions” and said that he is a flight-risk who “poses a significant danger to the community,” per NBC News.

There is a hearing date set for the music mogul on Sept. 25.

The federal indictment obtained by E! alleges a decade’s worth of crimes against Combs, including the alleged coercion of female victims to engage in sexual acts called “freak offs.”
