Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs denied bail and will remain in federal detention, judge rules

Sean “Diddy” Combs was denied bail Tuesday and taken into custody after pleading not guilty in federal court to charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.

Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images/File An attorney for a former member of Danity Kane, a musical group formed by Sean “Diddy” Combs, told CNN that his client “is grateful the DOJ has decided to pursue” charges against the media mogul and that she’s looking forward to a fair trial.
