Sean Diddy Combs is still incarcerated on two counts of transporting people for prostitution under the Mann Act, even though he may not have been guilty of racketeering or sex trafficking.
As he awaits his sentencing on October 3 and serves his time at the Metropolitan Detention Centre (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, Diddy is facing a high-stakes legal battle.
Now, though, he is desperate to leave. According to Deadline, Diddy and his legal team just filed a motion to have him released on an astounding $50 million bond. His $48 million Miami house serves as security. Additionally, he has consented to suggested drug testing, home confinement, and travel restrictions.
Attorneys representing Combs have argued that he is being criminalized for engaging in merely consenting adult behavior. His attorneys are referring to him as a swinger rather than a criminal. Additionally, according to his attorney, he did not personally benefit from any of the prostitution operations. They contend that other convicted individuals have also been given bail before punishment due to comparable circumstances.
Prior to sentence, Diddy argues for his release from prison on a $50 million bond, claiming that he is the only American man incarcerated for using a professional male escort.The Twitter account MZ3gO2JiCD

Additionally, they assert that their client’s safety is at risk due to conditions in the Brooklyn facility. Given the continuous corrections that are being examined, this issue was emphasized.
Prosecutors, however, have vehemently opposed the request because they are not yet prepared for Diddy to be released from prison. They cited Combs’ history of domestic abuse. This includes his known physical altercations with his former companions, such as Cassie Ventura and Casandra Cassie. He has been charged with assault on several occasions.
Cassie is against the release of Sean Diddy Combs from federal custody.
According to Ms. Ventura, Mr. Combs is probably going to endanger the community as well as the victims who testified in this case, including herself.DMeDAQECnG pic.twitter.com/

During the trial, a videotape of Combs dragging Ventura through a hotel room was also shown. According to reports, the judge denied Diddy’s bail because of this clip.
Bail has been routinely rejected by Judge Arun Subramanian. According to his claims, Combs has not proven that he poses no threat to the community or flight. The judge has reference letters from Ventura and other accusations of Diddy. She has stated that she is still afraid of him and that his violent past calls for his continuing incarceration.
Earlier in the proceedings, Combs’ defense first asked for and provided a $1 million bond with certain conditions attached. But the court has also denied each of these pleas.
In the Diddy case, prosecutors are requesting a 51–63 month term.

According to federal sentencing guidelines, the maximum sentence is 51–63 months in prison. However, defense lawyers point out that considering the allegations and the amount of time already served, there might be room for leniency.
At a politically sensitive moment, this motion asking for Diddy’s bail was made. Discussions about Epstein and his role in the s-x trafficking of children are ongoing. However, Diddy’s purported contact with him does not present a favorable image of him.
Additionally, there is social pressure to prevent Diddy’s release. Internet users are not all the same. Diddy’s supporters argue that he is being punished for his fame, while others believe that the dropping of the charges against him was an error.
Before answering the most recent request, which is due in a few days, the court will need to consider the arguments made by both parties. Combs is still one of numerous well-known prisoners at MDC Brooklyn, along with R. Kelly and Ghislaine Maxwell.
