Diddy Denied Bail: Clip of Icon's Family Sadly Exiting Courtroom Trends, "They Celebrated Too Early"

• A video of Sean Diddy Combs' family members leaving the courtroom on Wednesday, July 2, has surfaced online
• The rapper was found not guilty on both charges of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, in connection with Ventura and Jane
• However, his family thought there was a silver lining, but their hopes were shredded as the clip of their courtroom exit went viral

A judge has denied bail to Sean "Diddy" Combs after he was convicted of transporting people to engage in illicit sexual activity.

Combs' lawyers argued that he shouldn't be held without bail, pointing out that his private jet was currently being used in Hawaii as proof he wasn't a flight risk.

However, the judge ruled that Combs must stay in jail until his sentencing later this year due to his history of violent behaviour. Combs faces up to 20 years in prison.

The trial, which lasted nearly two months, accused Combs of using his fame and business empire to run a criminal operation that exploited women. While the jury convicted him of some charges, they acquitted him of the most serious ones, including racketeering and sex trafficking.

The star's family, who had already celebrated, with hopes that he would be granted bail soon, were seen leaving the courtroom with long faces.
