Diddy Denied Bail, Remains in Custody Until Sentencing
Sean "Diddy" Combs, the embattled music mogul facing multiple federal charges, was officially denied bail today by a Manhattan judge. He will remain behind bars until his sentencing date, scheduled for October 3.
The courtroom was packed with reporters and a handful of fans, some of whom had gathered outside the courthouse to show support — in a fashion as flamboyant as Diddy's career. A small group was seen soaking themselves in baby oil, a nod to rumors and memes that have circulated in connection to the mogul's ongoing scandals.
After Beating Racketeering Charge, Fans Celebrate in Bizarre Fashion
Earlier this week, Combs successfully beat a racketeering charge that had threatened to become the centerpiece of the prosecution’s case. As one fan shouted from the courthouse steps, “It’s not RICO — it’s FREAK-O!”
That sentiment echoed online, where hashtags like #FreakoNotRico trended across platforms. Some supporters claimed Diddy is being unfairly targeted due to his legacy and influence in the music industry, while others distanced themselves from the controversy entirely.
No More Baby Oil in Sight
Despite the earlier scene outside the courthouse, security personnel reported no further incidents or public disturbances following the judge’s ruling. "No more baby oil bottles on the ground today," said one NYPD officer. “We’re keeping it strictly procedural now.”
Looking Ahead
With his bail denied, Combs now faces several months in custody as he awaits sentencing. Legal experts suggest the time behind bars could influence his final sentence, though the court has not commented on how his pre-sentencing detention may affect the outcome.
As of now, Diddy remains at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn under federal custody.
