Popular American rapper and music mogul, Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been denied bail once again after a New York judge ruled he will stay behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting trial.

Combs' federal trial has been set on May 5, 2025 where he will face charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

At a pretrial hearing Thursday, Judge Arun Subramanian set a trial date of May 5, in line with request from Combs' team for an April or May trial.

The Judge also said Combs will "remain detained" at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he has been in jail since Sept. 16 after he was arrested in New York following a federal indictment on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
