The video comes at a time when Diddy, founder of Bad Boy Records, is facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and prostitution. The rapper who was arrested in September, is currently being held in a federal detention centre in Brooklyn, where he awaits trial scheduled for May 5.
Combs filed a new request for bail on Friday, saying changed circumstances, along with new evidence, mean he should be allowed to prepare for the trial from outside jail.
Lawyers for Combs filed the request in Manhattan federal court, where his previous requests for bail have been rejected by two judges since his September. He has pleaded not guilty to charges that he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees, while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.
