P Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, has been denied bail and will stay in federal custody until his trial. The decision came after a September 17 hearing where the judge agreed with prosecutors that Combs might flee or interfere with the case.
Combs faces allegations of running a criminal network involving drugs and violence to exploit women. Evidence from recent raids, including firearms and numerous bottles of lubricant, has heightened concerns.
His lawyer’s bid for bail, which included a $50 million bond with strict conditions, was turned down. Combs, who pleaded “not guilty,” will return to court on September 24.
