A federal judge has denied Diddy’s fifth request for bail, citing the music mogul’s failure to convince the court that he is neither a flight risk nor a threat to the public and witnesses.

The denial comes ahead of Diddy’s scheduled sentencing on October 3rd. The judge’s decision was made despite a plea for his release from his ex-girlfriend, Gina Wyn, who had previously accused him of abuse, claims that Diddy has denied.

In a surprising turn of events, Gina Wyn, who was initially set to be a government witness, has seemingly backed off and is now supporting Diddy. Her testimony had previously detailed alleged abuse, with Wyn stating, “He like started punching me like on the side of my head and I was just like covering my face.”

The judge’s decision to deny bail will likely have significant implications for Diddy’s upcoming sentencing.
