Overview
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 55, has been incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since September 2024, awaiting trial on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution.
- Combs' legal team has accused prosecutors of misconduct, alleging that his confidential communications and handwritten notes were improperly photographed and shared with prosecutors during a cell search.
- A federal judge has denied Combs bail three times, citing concerns over potential witness tampering and the safety of the community, with his trial set to begin on May 5, 2025.
- Combs has requested unrestricted access to a government-provided laptop to aid in his defense, arguing that current limitations hinder his ability to prepare for trial effectively.
- Despite his incarceration, Combs will spend his first Christmas in jail with planned recreational activities for inmates and a holiday meal featuring baked Cornish hen and holiday desserts.
