A judge denied the rapper known as "Diddy" bail on Wednesday, according to a court filing, after he was charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. Judges had already denied bail twice for the rapper -- real name Sean Combs -- and prosecutors alleged in opposing the third bid that the rapper and producer has contacted witnesses and used unauthorized communications platforms while incarcerated.

The music mogul is being held on a bond of $50 million in New York’s Metropolitan Detention Center as he awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges
