American music entrepreneur Sean Puffy Combs, better known in the music industry as Puff Daddy, will stay behind bars until his s3x trafficking case is started.

Less than a month after being arrested at a New York City hotel on charges of racketeering, s3x trafficking, and using a car for prostitution, the rapper appeared before a court on October 10.

Judge Arun Subramanian, who replaced Andrew L. Carter Jr. after being reassigned to the case earlier this month, set a trial date of May 5, 2025, at the hearing.

For the past three weeks, the rapper has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. According to court documents, Combs’ lawyers submitted a second appeal just one day ago, asking for bail for him and asserting that concerns that he might “intimidate” witnesses for the upcoming trial were “unfounded.”

Recall days ago that Janice Combs, mother of Puff Daddy declared that her son is ‘not the monster they have painted him to be’.

Janice broke her silence about her son’s sexual assault case, acknowledging that the accusations made against her son left her “devastated and profoundly saddened.”

Janice told Fox News Digital in a statement that her son, like all others, should have his day in court so he can finally tell his side of the story and establish his innocence.
