Diddy granted access to ‘discovery laptop’ in jail with exceptions

Sean Diddy Combs will be allowed a laptop in jail with the restriction to only review discovery materials ahead of his May 2025 trial.

Judge Arun Subramanian ruled on Thursday that the music mogul, 55, gets access to a laptop pre-loaded with discovery materials in his jail unit at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

The laptop will not have any functionality beyond viewing the materials and can’t be utilised for taking or storing notes, per Subramanian’s Thursday order.

The laptop will be made accessible to the Bad Boy Records founder “seven days per week from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.”

The judge also ordered that access beyond that would need to be discussed with the government.

Combs was indicted in September on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The rapper has pleaded not guilty to the government’s accusations of having organised “freak offs” and using his employees to facilitate them.

Combs was faced with three new civil lawsuits on Thursday over alleged sexual assault of three anonymous males—which only marks a fraction of over a dozen similar allegations reporting his misconduct back in the 2000s.
