Sean "Diddy" Combs faces continued detention after a federal judge denied his $50 million bail proposal in connection with racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

Federal Judge Andrew L. Carter rejected the bail package, which included Combs' Miami mansion as collateral and GPS monitoring provisions. The judge cited concerns about witness safety and the severity of allegations against the music mogul.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to multiple federal charges, including accusations of orchestrating a pattern of abusive and exploitative practices. Court documents allege incidents of coercion, intimidation, and violent behavior, along with the transportation of individuals across state lines for sex-related activities.

Prosecutors successfully argued that Combs' release could pose significant risks to witnesses involved in the case. Despite his legal team's emphasis on GPS monitoring and travel restrictions, the court determined the proposed conditions were insufficient given the serious nature of the charges.

The hip-hop entrepreneur will remain in custody while awaiting trial, reflecting the court's assessment of both the gravity of the allegations and potential witness intimidation concerns.
