Steven J. Horowitz Senior Music Writer Sean “Diddy” Combs has officially given up on getting out of prison before his trial date comes in May 2025.

Legal counsel for Combs, who is currently incarcerated at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., filed a motion earlier today to dismiss his appeal for bail in his ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering case.

He had previously been denied bail three times, and has ultimately conceded to remaining in custody as he awaits his trial. “Mr.

Combs does not seek to appeal the district court’s denial of his renewed motion and hereby moves to voluntarily dismiss the appeal,” reads the motion. “Counsel has explained the effect of voluntary dismissal of the appeal.” Combs signed the motion, which stated that “(a) counsel has explained the effect of voluntary dismissal of the appeal; (b) he understands counsel’s explanation, and (c) he desires to withdraw and voluntarily dismiss the appeal.” Combs has been lobbying for months to get out of prison, offering 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 the charges.
