With the case of Sean Diddy Combs being severely scrutinized, a new judge will reportedly handle it. As per the latest updates, the I’ll Be Missing You rapper will face a new federal judge in his upcoming trial. 

For those unaware, the highly acclaimed artist has not pleaded guilty to the charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and also transportation to engage in prostitution. 

Per E! News, the artist, Sean Diddy Combs, will now face Judge Arun Subramanian on October 3, 2024, as seen in the court documents. 

The case of the It's All About The Benjamins rapper was previously being looked after by Judge Andrew L. Carter Jr. During the September 18, 2024 hearing, Carter had mentioned that Diddy Combs’ case would be reallocated to a new judge if he was unable to accommodate a trial date, as per PEOPLE. 

This new judge taking over the case of the Finna Get Loose artist might bring in new turns of events, as Diddy Combs will have another chance to seek bail.

The rapper’s bail pleas were previously denied by Andrew L. Carter Jr. as well as the first judge of the same case, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky.

These were the two judges who had agreed with the prosecutors that Sean Diddy Combs should remain in jail until his trial. The Bad Boy Records mogul has been kept in custody since September 16, 2024, the day he was arrested in a New York City hotel lobby.


Prosecutors of the case had even accused him of coercing women into participating in sexual performances with male commercial sex workers.

As per reports, the Can't Nobody Hold Me Down artist allegedly dubbed these events as Freak Offs.

Sean Diddy Combs is at present being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. This happens to be the same unit where disgraced cryptocurrency entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried was being held, as per a source who spoke to NBC News. 

Meanwhile, the Been Around the World rapper was also placed on a suicide watch, which is a common practice not indicative of mental state for high-profile individuals upon admittance to a federal facility.

His attorney Marc Agnifilo was seen stating in TMZ’s documentary The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, “I think he is very eager to tell his story."

The same attorney has also mentioned Diddy Combs' toxic relationships and why he was forced to use drugs, calling him an imperfect person.
