Sean Diddy Combs' legal team seeks his release before October sentencing; offers $50 million bond for bail
His legal team has cited that it's unfair to keep him in jail and that his case is very 'unusual'.
According to the reports of The Hollywood Reporter, Combs'
legal
team has filed a request asking the court to release him from the Brooklyn jail where he has been held since September. They argue that he shouldn't remain in custody, especially after he was cleared of racketeering and sex trafficking charges. However, the jury found him guilty of charges related to the Mann Act, a law that makes it illegal to transport someone across state lines for prostitution.
Prosecutors said he used his power and staff to pressure two girlfriends into participating in drug-filled sex parties with male escorts, which he watched and recorded.
However, the jury did not believe he broke the major laws like RICO or committed sex trafficking.
His lawyers say this case is 'unusual' and claim it's 'unfair' for him to stay in jail when many others in similar situations are not detained.
They also say that the Mann Act is usually used in cases where someone profits from prostitution, not in situations like this one, where it involved adults in consensual acts with no commercial gain.

Tips and Tricks
His lawyers believe that the Justice Department usually avoids prosecution in such 'non-commercial' cases.
The judge, Arun Subramanian, had previously denied Combs' request for release after the trial, partly due to video footage showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway footage that was shown repeatedly during the trial. However, Combs' lawyers now say he has taken responsibility and had already joined a domestic violence program before his arrest.
Legal team offers $50 million bond
The legal team has reportedly offered a $50 million bond to secure his release. They said Combs would stay at his home in Miami, follow all legal conditions, give up his passport, and only travel for legal matters under supervision.
Combs could face up to 20 years in prison, but prosecutors are expected to ask for a sentence between 51 to 63 months. His defence team, however, is suggesting a lighter sentence of 21 to 27 months.

"Going to slap..." Johnny Manziel's scorching comment defending Cam Newton adds fuel to fiery Jalen Hurts media controversy
Johnny Manziel sides with Cam Newton (Imagn Images) Former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel has once again taken to social media to defend a fellow football icon—and this time, his fiery words were aimed at Philadelphia Eagles superfan King Gillie. The controversy erupted after a viral video showed Gillie taunting Cam Newton for never winning a Super Bowl, a jab that didn't sit well with Manziel, who wasted no time clapping back. Johnny Manziel defends Cam Newton with savage clapback amid Jalen Hurts media drama targeting Eagles superfan During his birthday celebration, King Gillie—known for his passionate Eagles support—was seen holding the Vince Lombardi Trophy and mocking Newton's NFL résumé. 'Cam ain't never had one of these, and I ain't going back and forth with you,' he said into the mic. 'Thank you Jalen. Appreciate you Jalen. Love you Nick. Appreciate you Jalen. Cam Newton never had one of these.' The clip, shared by the parody 'Shannon Sharpes Burner' account on X, quickly made the rounds, drawing attention not only for the statement but for its timing. Less than 24 hours later, Johnny Manziel unleashed a scathing response on the platform. 'Yo King Gillie you may be the biggest f-cking loser on the planet. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Talking like you've f-cking done anything on a football field. If I see you just know I'm going to slap the f-ck out of you, trust,' Manziel posted. Manziel's outrage wasn't just about football accolades—it was personal. Newton had appeared just the day before on Manziel's new podcast Glory Daze, where both men reflected on their shared past as underdog icons in college football. Newton and Manziel: Heads of the underdog empire In the podcast episode, Newton delved into what made their college football journeys so powerful and similar. 'When you think about Texas A&M and you think about Texas, who's the superior team? Texas. Right? When you think about Auburn and you think about Alabama, who's the superior team? Alabama. We were the heads of the underdogs.' Both Newton and Manziel etched their names into college football history—Newton in 2010 with Auburn and Manziel in 2012 with Texas A&M. Though Newton's NFL career included a league MVP award and a Super Bowl appearance, the mutual respect between the two remains rooted in their college dominance, not just professional achievements. Manziel's defense of Newton wasn't just about a friend—it was about legacy, respect, and reminding fans that greatness isn't always measured by trophies.
