Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the prominent rapper and music mogul, has been detained in a federal prison in New York following his arrest on September 14 on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs, 54, has been denied bail and is currently off suicide watch. His legal team, which now includes high-profile attorneys such as Alexandra Shapiro, is preparing for a rigorous defense. Combs has reportedly refused to accept a plea deal, with his attorney Marc Agnifilo stating that Combs believes he is innocent and is eager to tell his story. The case has drawn significant attention due to Combs' extensive ties to the entertainment industry and the high-profile nature of the allegations. The investigation has also led to an international hunt for potential victims, with over 100 new sexual assault lawsuits being filed against him. Combs' legal team is appealing the decision to deny him bail, and he has promised to comply with conditions such as no contact with women and regular drug testing if released. High-profile celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jennifer Lopez have been linked to Combs' famous parties, adding to the case's notoriety.
