A judge ruled on Wednesday that Sean “Diddy” Combs will remain behind bars until his trial, reports Deadline.
Combs was arrested on Monday for alleged racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy entered a not guilty plea in court Tuesday.
On Wednesday, at the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse in New York, Judge Andrew Carter rejected a proposal from the defense to allow him to go free while the case progresses.

U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson stated in court, “The indisputable evidence makes clear you cannot take the defendant at his word.”
The bail hearing was an appeal to a judge’s decision yesterday to detain Combs.
