Sean "Diddy" Combs appeared in a New York City courtroom on Friday, November 22, 2024, seeking bail ahead of his racketeering trial.

The defense team proposed strict bail conditions including:
- Home confinement in a three-bedroom Upper East Side apartment
- 24/7 monitoring by three full-time security professionals
- Restricted phone access
- Visitor log requirements
- Limited contact with family and legal counsel only
Prosecutors opposed bail, citing concerns about witness tampering and questioning the reliability of private security. They emphasized that Combs "cannot be trusted" to comply with bail conditions.
The hearing addressed controversial video evidence of an alleged altercation between Diddy and his ex-girlfriend, Cassie. While defense attorneys claimed the video was manipulated, prosecutors referenced Combs' public Instagram apology acknowledging the incident.
The judge has delayed the ruling until next week, leaving Combs in custody where he has remained for 10 weeks following previous bail denials.
Key Details:
- Charges: Racketeering conspiracy, trafficking, and prostitution
- Trial date: May 2025
- Current status: In custody pending bail decision
- Prior attempts: Multiple bail requests denied
The case has drawn significant public attention, with stark contrasts between the defense's portrayal of Combs as cooperative and the prosecution's depiction of him as a potential risk. The upcoming bail decision will be crucial in determining whether Combs remains in custody until his trial begins.
