This week the judge denied bail for Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, after his conviction on multiple counts of The Mann Act [click here if you missed that].
Now Diddy has renewed his request on the grounds of cruel and unusual punishment...

Sean “Diddy” Combs made bombshell claims about his prison conditions in a fresh appeal for bail.
The embattled rapper’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo petitioned Judge Arun Subramanian on Sunday to release the 55-year-old on bail ahead of his Oct. 3 sentencing in a “brief letter.”
In the filing, obtained by Page Six, the attorney claimed that Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center is an “inhumane” facility.
“MDC routinely serves food that is expired or infested with maggots,” Agnifilo alleged in the document, going on to reference a picture.
“The maggot-infested food captured in that photo is, unfortunately, not an uncommon experience,” he wrote.
Agnifilo deemed this and allegedly frequent lockdowns “exceptional circumstances” worthy of consideration.
Combs has been in the New York City prison, whose other famous inmates have included R. Kelly and Ghislaine Maxwell, since his September 2024 arrest.
Agnifilo immediately requested that Combs be released on bail following the July 2 conviction, which Subramanian denied.
The judge noted that he denied the Bad Boy Records founder bail ahead of the trial and saw “no reason to reach the opposite conclusion” after the fact.
He did, however, say he might be willing to move up the October sentencing.
Agnifilo referred to Subramanian’s denial as “unfair” over the weekend, writing, “Hellbent on punishing [Combs] for being a user of prostitution services in a more draconian manner than anyone in U.S. history, the government continues to target him.”
