Diddy Proposes $50 Million Bail Package Using Florida Mansion as Collateral
Sean "Diddy" Combs has proposed a $50 million bail package backed by his Florida mansion while facing serious criminal charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. Currently held in a Brooklyn jail, Diddy maintains his innocence against all charges.

The charges, filed in September 2024, allege that Diddy and associates engaged in coercive conduct involving threats and abuse. Prosecutors claim years of criminal activity, including organized gatherings called "freak offs."
The new bail proposal includes:
- $50 million backed by equity from his and his mother's Florida properties
- 24/7 surveillance and home detention
- Restricted communication and internet access
- Surrender of passports for Diddy and family
- Limited visitor list for close family members
In a related development, Judge Arun Subramanian denied Diddy's request for a gag order on potential witnesses, citing free speech concerns. His legal team continues to challenge the prosecution's evidence, describing it as insufficient and misinterpreted.
The trial is scheduled for May 5, 2025. The outcome of this bail proposal could significantly impact Diddy's ability to prepare his defense with his legal team in the months ahead. The court's decision on this high-profile bail request is expected to influence future celebrity cases.
