Sean “Diddy” Combs, the spotlight-adoring music impresario who helped launch the careers of some of the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B, was denied bail and sent to jail Tuesday after being accused in a three-count federal indictment of having used his sprawling business empire to abuse, threaten and traffic women in order to “fulfill his sexual desires” and protect his reputation.
Kelly, born Robert Sylvester Kelly, was sentenced in 2022 to more than 30 years in prison for sexually abusing fans, some of them children, racketeering and sex trafficking. Combs, who helped boost the careers of some of the biggest names in hip-hop and R&B, including the Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige and Usher, has seen his star dim since a bombshell lawsuit filed in November by his former longtime girlfriend, Casandra Ventura.
