Diddy appeared in court today for his third bail attempt in a sеx trafficking case, which has sparked debate over claims of prosecutorial misconduct.

The 55-year-old former hip-hop mogul is facing a federal judge in New York as his legal team works to secure his release.

His family arrived discreetly in a van with tinted windows. His 84-year-old mother, Janice, was seen holding hands with Diddy’s 26-year-old son, Christian “King” Combs, as they entered the courthouse.

Diddy entered through a side door, dressed in a tan prison uniform. He was not restrained, as his lawyers argued that shackling would undermine the court’s “dignity.”

A smile crossed Diddy’s face upon noticing seven family members seated in the second row of the public gallery, including his mother Janice, wearing sunglasses; his adopted son Quincy, 33; Justin, 30; King, 26; Chance, 18; and his twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie, 17.

Diddy greeted his family with heartfelt gestures, blowing kisses, clasping his hands in a prayer sign, and tapping his heart.

He embraced his lawyers warmly before taking a seat at the defense table, where he donned reading glasses to review documents.

The hearing began with a dramatic moment as Diddy’s defense attorney, Anthony Ricco, addressed Judge Arun Subramanian, stating, “I’d like to note that Mr. Combs’ family is present today. They have traveled a long way to support him, including his mother, children, and other relatives.”

Judge Subramanian acknowledged their presence, expressing gratitude and noting, “It’s important that you’re here.”

Prosecutor Christy Slavik, however, argued against bail, describing Diddy as “a violent abuser and a danger to the community” who should remain in custody.

Attorneys for the Bad Boy Records founder have dismissed the prosecution’s case as “fictional,” accusing them of adding a “theatrical spin” to the allegations.

They are expected to challenge a crucial piece of evidence—a video purportedly showing Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016—claiming it was “manipulated” to appear more incriminating than it actually is.

Diddy faces accusations of operating a criminal enterprise for over a decade, which allegedly included events called “Freak Offs,” where women were drᴜgged and coerced into lengthy sеxual encounters, sometimes involving male sеx workers.

He has denied charges of sеx trafficking, rackеteering, and other crimes, with his trial scheduled for May next year.

Diddy’s prior attempts at bail were rejected, including a $50 million proposal with 24/7 monitoring and home detention.

Prosecutors argue he continues to interfere with justice from behind bars and that no bail conditions could prevent him from influencing the jury or tampering with witnesses.

Diddy’s legal team has sparked a courtroom clash, accusing prosecutors of a “complete institutional failure” in their handling of the case.

The dispute centers on notes taken from Diddy’s cell at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center during an October 28 raid by a Bureau of Prisons investigator.

Prosecutors have cited some of these notes as evidence, alleging that Diddy attempted to obstruct justice by offering payment to a female witness in exchange for posting a favorable statement about him on Instagram.

Diddy’s attorneys argue that the materials are protected by privilege and stated in court this week that further investigation is needed to determine an appropriate response.

Attorney Marc Agnifilo suggested that the issue is so severe it could lead to the dismissal of the case or require the removal of the four female prosecutors involved.
