According to Variety, Diddy has surprisingly withdrawn his bid for bail and will remain in prison until his trial date in May 2025. Despite having the financial means to continue pursuing bail, Diddy has decided to accept his current situation.

The rapper had been denied bail multiple times and his latest appeal was rejected due to concerns of witness tampering. Diddy’s decision to give up the fight for bail comes as a surprise, especially just before the Christmas holidays.

“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.”

With serious charges including racketeering and sex trafficking, Diddy may have felt it was futile to continue fighting for his freedom.
