Sean "Diddy" Combs's $50 million bail package was rejected by federal Judge Andrew L. Carter, who cited concerns about witness safety and the severity of the charges against him.

The proposed bail package included Combs's Miami mansion as collateral and GPS monitoring. However, the court deemed these conditions insufficient given the nature of the allegations.

Combs faces federal charges including racketeering and sex trafficking, to which he has pleaded not guilty. The prosecution alleges that he orchestrated a network involving coercion, intimidation, and the transportation of individuals across state lines for sexual activities.

The court's decision requires Combs to remain in custody during trial proceedings, with prosecutors successfully arguing that his release could potentially endanger witnesses and compromise the integrity of the case.

The hip-hop mogul's legal team had emphasized his willingness to accept strict monitoring and travel restrictions limited to Miami, but these assurances failed to overcome the court's concerns about public safety and witness protection.
