Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer Sean “Diddy” Combs was denied bail a third time on Wednesday, with a judge citing risk of witness tampering and evidence of violating regulations that prevent him from communicating with third parties.

The decision was made by Judge Arun Subramanian after a hearing in New York that weighed the conditions of ensuring safety in the community.

Council for Combs had offered a $50 million bond backed by equity in his homes, the promise of security monitoring and assurance that he would not interfere with investigations surrounding his charges.

The ruling stated that “there is evidence of supporting a serious risk of witness tampering,” and that Combs contacted witnesses “even after” his grand jury testimony in June 2024.
