Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the hip-hop mogul and Bad Boy Records founder, has been denied bail for the third time while facing federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs has been held in a federal jail in Brooklyn since his arrest in September, despite offering $50 million for bail.
Prosecutors argued that Combs posed a flight risk and had attempted to influence witnesses and intimidate victims from behind bars. They raised concerns about a potential two-tiered justice system if Combs' bail proposal, which included hiring a private security firm for house arrest, was accepted.
