Renowned music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs faced a Manhattan federal courthouse on Wednesday to answer serious charges, including racketeering, sex trafficking, and prostitution.
Following his arraignment, he was denied bail, with the judge citing him as a potential flight risk.
Diddy’s legal team sought to secure his release by offering a staggering $50 million bond backed by properties belonging to both him and his mother in Miami. However, the judge rejected this request, expressing concerns about Diddy’s likelihood to flee the jurisdiction.
In a further blow, Howard University has officially revoked Diddy’s honorary degree, citing the seriousness of the allegations against him. The decision underscores the gravity of the situation as federal authorities continue their investigation.
In addition to the bail denial, the court ordered the seizure of passports belonging to Diddy, his mother, and his daughter, further restricting his ability to leave the country.
As Diddy awaits trial, the music industry and his fans remain in shock over the unfolding allegations. The case continues to develop, with many closely monitoring the legal proceedings ahead.
