The initial bail package proposed a $50 million bond, largely backed by the equity in his home.
Court documents reveal that the rapper’s lawyers “took possession of Mr. Combs’ U.S. passport,” suggesting this reduced any flight risk.
This sentiment was also extended to his immediate family – Janice Combs, Chance Combs, Jessie Combs, D’Lila Combs, and Love Combs, who “have already surrendered their passports” to Diddy’s legal team.
However, the package was dismissed by a judge, prompting the defense to broaden the terms.
They proposed house arrest for Diddy, with a detailed log of his visitors. Specifically, they suggested that only close female family members would be permitted to visit him.
Their most recent bail attempt was met with resistance from the prosecution, who accused Diddy of contacting witnesses from jail and expressed concern about his potential to continue his alleged actions outside confinement.
They stated in court documents that they had examined phone logs as part of their investigation.
Prosecutors faced a backlash after admitting to reviewing “personal notes” of Diddy that suggested discussions with witnesses. The defense argued these were privileged materials and were improperly seized from the rapper’s cell.
Consequently, an “emergent” hearing was called, resulting in the judge’s order for the materials’ destruction and barring their future use in court.
Meanwhile, Diddy maintains his innocence against all allegations.
