Diddy's legal team is going all out to secure the Bad Boy Records mogul’s release from jail. He was taken into custody at a Manhattan hotel on Monday night (September 16) on various RICO charges, including conspiracy to engage in racketeering, child sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transporting individuals for prostitution.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Diddy's attorneys are proposing a $50 million bond, secured by the equity in his Miami home at 2 West Star Island, as well as his mother’s Miami property, his passport, the passports of his family members, and his private jet. They have also suggested that Diddy be placed under house arrest with GPS monitoring.

Diddy was formally charged on Thursday (September 12). The indictment states, “For decades, Sean Combs…abused, threatened & coerced women & others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation & conceal his conduct. To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources & the influence of his multi-faceted business empire. During raids of his residences in Miami and Los Angeles, authorities seized firearms and ammunition, including three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers, as well as a drum magazine.”

The document further mentions repeated instances of physical abuse, stating that Diddy "engaged in a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women and other individuals. This abuse was, at times, verbal, emotional, physical and sexual."

The downfall of Diddy's Bad Boy empire began in November 2023, when his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, filed a shocking lawsuit accusing him of sexual and physical abuse. Despite settling quickly out of court, the case led to an investigation into his lifestyle, followed by a federal inquiry.

Federal agents conducted searches of his Los Angeles and Miami properties in March, and investigators interviewed several individuals connected to accusations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the involvement in illegal drugs and firearms.
