Well, it looks like Diddy is getting used to life behind bars as he’s surprisingly withdrawn his bid to get bail.
According to Variety, the “Bad Boy For Life” rapper has surprisingly fallen back on his attempt to get sprung from prison after being denied multiple times over the past few months. While he definitely has the money to continue to pursue the request, it seems like Diddy’s finally thrown in the towel and has accepted the fact that he’ll be locked up until his trial date gets underway in May of 2025.
Variety reports:
“Mr. Combs does not seek to appeal the district court’s denial of his renewed motion and hereby moves to voluntarily dismiss the appeal,” reads the motion. “Counsel has explained the effect of voluntary dismissal of the appeal.”
Combs signed the motion, which stated that “(a) counsel has explained the effect of voluntary dismissal of the appeal; (b) he understands counsel’s explanation, and (c) he desires to withdraw and voluntarily dismiss the appeal.”
Combs has been lobbying for months to get out of prison, offering a $50 million bond backed by equity in his homes, the promise of security monitoring and assurance that he would not interfere with investigations surrounding the charges. In his latest bail appeal hearing on Nov. 27, Judge Arun Subramanian ruled that “there is evidence of supporting a serious risk of witness tampering” and that Combs contacted witnesses even after his grand jury testimony in June 2024.
We’re low-key surprised he gave up just before the Christmas holidays. You’d think he continue to fight just so he could spend Christmas and New Year’s with his family. Could there actually be some truth to the rumors that Diddy is being treated like royalty by his fellow inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn? We may never know, but with charges that include racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, Diddy might’ve felt it was just a waste of money at this point to continue to fight for his freedom.
What do y’all think about Diddy giving up his fight for bail and deciding to remain in prison until his trial date? Let us know in the comments section below.
