About this listen

 Sean Combs, also famously known as Puffy or P Diddy, remains at the center of widespread media coverage as his high-profile legal battles intensify this summer. This week, major outlets including Contactmusic and the Bangkok Post confirm that Combs has now been denied bail for the fifth time since his September 2024 arrest. The judge stated that Combs continues to pose a risk of flight and potential danger, reinforcing that even a $50 million bond and stringent conditions were not enough for his temporary release. Combs will remain in custody at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center in New York at least until his sentencing, which is scheduled for October 3, 2025.

Last month, a New York jury found Combs guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, each carrying a maximum of 10 years in prison, according to multiple reports including the Times of India and Sky News. Although he was acquitted of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges, the prosecution presented evidence of violence, coercion, and subjugation linked to his case, including video footage and multiple testimonies from former partners.

His legal team has submitted a motion for acquittal or retrial on the prostitution charges. Meanwhile, Sean Combs' defense lawyer recently confirmed to CNN and as reported in the Hindustan Times that the team has reached out formally to President Donald Trump's administration to seek a possible presidential pardon. While Trump's public response has been lukewarm, noting past cordial relations but dismissing the likeliness of a pardon due to prior political hostility from Combs, the music mogul remains hopeful through his attorney, Nicole Westmoreland. They argue that pursuit of the case was itself improper, especially as Combs was cleared of the most severe accusations.

Separate from his legal troubles, Combs’ legacy as an entrepreneur and artist is also in the spotlight. AfroTech highlights Combs’ complex history with the liquor industry and Diageo, recalling how his landmark branding work with Cîroc grew their business yet left him without equity. He later fulfilled his ambition of owning a tequila brand with DeLeón, of which he reportedly holds a fifty percent stake. Combs reflected that the obstacles he faced were typical of corporate America’s approach to diversity and ownership, but emphasized that his hard-earned journey was worth it.
