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

The defense team proposed strict bail conditions including:

• Home confinement in an Upper East Side apartment
• 24/7 monitoring by three 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.

A key point of contention was video evidence showing an alleged physical altercation between Diddy and his ex-girlfriend, Cassie. While defense attorneys claimed the video was manipulated, prosecutors referenced Combs' public Instagram apology about the incident.

The judge has delayed the ruling until next week, leaving Combs in custody where he has remained for 10 weeks following previous denied bail requests.

Key Case Details:

• Charges: Racketeering conspiracy, trafficking, and prostitution
• Trial date: May 2025
• Current status: Awaiting bail decision
• Previous bail requests: Denied due to witness tampering concerns and public safety risks

The judge's upcoming decision will determine whether Combs remains in custody until his trial begins.
