Sean “Diddy” Combs will remain in federal custody ahead of his trial on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges after his lawyers failed Wednesday to appeal a judge’s decision to deny him bail.
Prosecutors had argued he was at risk of obstructing the case, and in his ruling Wednesday, Judge Andrew Carter said there were no conditions that reduced the risk of witness tampering or obstruction.
The hip-hop artist is facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty Tuesday.
Combs, 54, faces a sentence of up to life in prison if convicted. His next court appearance was scheduled for October 9. Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo told CNN he will again appeal the ruling.
