Sean “Diddy” Combs update: Rapper denied bail on sex trafficking and extortion charges, accusers speak out

More details about conditions inside the Metropolitan Detention Center are being released as Combs remains in pretrial detention.

Many have spoken out about “barbaric” conditions inside the prison, with one inmate claiming that stabbings happen “at least two or three times a week” inside the prison.

“One guy was stabbed in the eye with a makeshift knife,” an inmate who gave his name only as Eli told NY1.

“And these knives, I’ve never been in a prison. This is my first time in a prison, but these knives are six inches, nine inches long, hand made out of steel wall material. They’re very violent. There are stabbings. There are stabbings at least twice a week.”

Combs is scheduled to appear in court again today at approximately 3:30 pm ET.

He is appealing the decision to hold him without bail before U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter.

If the appeal is denied, Combs could be returned to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he will remain until his trial.

His lawyers yesterday sought to keep him under house arrest but were turned down.

The rapper was responding to details released by the FBI, namely that searches of Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles led officers to seize “more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.”

In an Instagram post, 50 Cent shared a photo of himself from a recent appearance on Drew Barrymore’s talk show with the message, “I’m good friends with @thedrewbarrymoreshow but I don’t have 1000 bottles of lotion in my house.”

Combs is currently being held in the Special Housing Unit at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

This notorious prison housed several inmates, including Ghislaine Maxwell, R. Kelly, and Billy McFarland.

The camps have reportedly been plagued by violence, unsanitary conditions and chronic staff shortages.

The rapper is currently being kept isolated from other inmates, according to reports.

Singer Aubrey O’Day hailed the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs on sex trafficking and extortion charges as a “victory for women around the world.”

O’Day, who was a member of Diddy’s girl group Danity Kane, is one of the plaintiffs in a civil lawsuit against the music mogul.

In a post on X, O’Day said he felt “validated” following his arrest.

“The goal of ‘Justice’ is to provide closure and allow space for a new chapter,” she said.

“Women will never understand this. I feel validated. Today is a victory not just for me, but for women all over the world. Finally, things are changing.”

More than three decades after Sean Combs named his label Bad Boy Records, he’s been arrested on federal charges of violating federal and sex trafficking laws and accused of everything from arson to kidnapping.

As authorities outline the shocking acts allegedly carried out by Combs’ “crime ring” at his direction, Sheila Flynn paints a portrait of the star’s epic fall from grace:

Sean “Diddy” Combs is scheduled to appear in court today for a bail hearing after a judge denied his request for bail and ordered him to remain in jail until his trial.

Combs’ lawyer, Mark Anzifilo, said outside court that he intends to appeal the judge’s decision.

“Mr. Combs is a fighter. He’s going to fight to the end. He’s innocent,” Anzifilo said Tuesday.

The bail hearing is scheduled to begin at 3:30 pm ET.

Rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was indicted Monday night by a federal grand jury in New York on charges of extortion by force, fraud and intimidation and sex trafficking. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Federal prosecutors charge that Combs attempted to use “the employees, resources and influence of the diversified business empire he led and controlled” to engage in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.
