Decision on whether Diddy would be released on bail is still pending

While the prosecutors have been trying to keep the 55-year-old rapper detained, his attorneys have made another attempt to get him released on bail. The request was made to the court on November 22, 2024.

The bail request consisted of a $50 million bond along with being under 24/7 security. As per the request, the record producer would also not be allowed to reach out to anybody apart from his family and team. As reported by HotNewHipHop, Judge Subramanian was yet to decide on the bail request.

If the bail request doesn't get approved, Diddy will stay detained until his trial begins next year. He is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The prosecutors reportedly argued that Diddy would be a flight risk if released on bail before the trial.

In the aforementioned letter, US Attorney Damian Williams and his legal team also gave a response to the bail request filed by Diddy's legal team. According to Williams, the Combs had a "history of obstructive conduct." The letter further read:

"The defendant’s history of obstructive conduct is part and parcel to his decades-long pattern of violence, which must be considered along with his obstructive conduct to fully assess his dangerousness under the Bail Reform Act."

It also added:

"A holistic view of his obstructive and violent conduct, that is still happening presently—makes clear that there is no way to rebut the applicable presumption of detention in this case."

The defense team had already applied for his bail thrice and got rejected each time.
