Sean Combs Calls Laptop Ban ‘Untenable’ in Prison, Demands Change

Fighting to stay out of prison for the rest of his life on sex trafficking charges and more, Sean “Diddy” Combs now wants more screen time.

Facing one of the prosecutors who helped put Jeffrey Epstein’s right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars and recently denied his $50 million bail request for the third time, the “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” performer complained Wednesday to a federal judge that Uncle Sam isn’t letting him have access to a laptop in his cell.

“We write on behalf of Mr. Combs to request that the Court direct the MDC to provide Mr. Combs with the laptop prepared for him by the government, and allow him to use that laptop on his unit, consistent with the way other inmates on his unit are permitted to use their laptops,” declares a letter (read it here) Wednesday from defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo to Judge Arun Subramanian about his client’s ostensive ability to look at documents digitally in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre.

“Two months after he was charged and detained, on November 25, 2024, the government provided the MDC with a laptop that Mr. Combs can use to review discovery, take notes related to his case, and otherwise assist in his defense,” added Agnifilo, who has successfully represented the high profile likes of now-ex IMF head and one-time leading French presidential contender Dominique Strauss-Kahn in his rape trial. “In the nine days since then, Mr. Combs has still not been provided with the laptop despite numerous inquiries by defense counsel.”

Looking at Combs facing life in prison if found guilty in the criminal case in a trial set to start May 5, Combs is charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. The past mogul, who entered a not-guilty plea after his arrest September 16 and has been incarcerated in the MDC for almost three months, is also battling dozens of civil suits that are focused on celebrity-attended, drug-fueled and videotaped “freak offs.”

Raising the stakes or threat level depending on your POV, Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s controversial nominee for FBI Director, has said that if confirmed to the top cop job he would possibly release the names of the famous and infamous who attended Combs’ debauched gatherings over the decades. Of note, is the fact that Trump and Combs socialized together a lot over the years, as did the former and future POTUS with convicted sex offender Epstein, who mysteriously died in the MDC in 2019 by apparent suicide.
