Puff Daddy to remain in jail pending commencement of s3x trafficking case

American music mogul Sean Puffy Combs popularly known in music circles as Puff Daddy will remain in jail pending the commencement of his s3x trafficking case.

The rapper made an appearance before a judge on October 10, less than a month after he was taken into custody at a hotel in New York City on allegations of racketeering, s3x trafficking, and using a vehicle to engage in prostitution.

A trial date of May 5, 2025, was set during the hearing by Judge Arun Subramanian, who took over for Andrew L. Carter Jr. after being reassigned to the case earlier this month.

The rapper has been detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, for three weeks. Combs’ attorneys filed a new appeal just one day ago, requesting bail for him and claiming that worries that he would “intimidate” witnesses for the impending trial were “unfounded,” according to court documents.

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

While breaking her silence over her son’s s3xual assault case, Janice admitted that she was left “devastated and profoundly saddened” by the allegations waged against her son.

In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, Janice said that like every human being, her son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.
