After asking to be held on a private island, Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs was denied bail yet again.
A decision from the judge, obtained by The Mirror, said: “The Court finds that the government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community.”
Diddy’s defense team previously put together a variety of bail packages, offering certain conditions, in an effort to reduce the judge and prosecutors’ concerns, including evidence of witness tampering and potential flight risk. The two most recent suggestions involved Diddy being held on a private island or staying in a New York City Upper East Side apartment with private security guards.

In court, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian blatantly told the defense team, That is not going to work. Echoing that concern in his written decision, saying: “However, given the nature of the allegations in this case and the information provided by the government, the Court doubts the sufficiency of any conditions that place trust in Combs and individuals in his employlike a private security detailto follow those conditions.”
In the recent court filing, he further dug into his decision, breaking out the developments of the case. Subramanian pointed to the severity of allegations made against Diddy which includes sex trafficking. Moreover, he noted that prosecutors “presented direct evidence of Combss violence.”
As part of their evidence against Diddy, the government referred to a video of the rapper beating his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway. While Diddy continues to deny allegations of wrongdoing, he previously took “responsibility” for his actions in that incident via a video statement.
Subramanian also validated the prosecution’s concern over alleged witness tampering. He wrote that there was a “serious risk,” citing Diddy’s communications with unidentified Witness-1 “who was subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury in June 2024.” Prosecutors previously alleged that prison phone records suggested that Diddy was in contact with witnesses.
The judge wrote: “There is evidence that Combs violated Bureau of Prisons regulations during his pretrial detention to obscure his communications with third parties. He paid other inmates to use their Phone Access Code (PAC) numbers to make calls to those not on his approved contact list.”
Diddy continues to deny all civil and criminal allegations against him.
