A federal appeals court judge has ruled to keep Sean “Diddy” Combs locked up while he makes a third bid for bail in his sex trafficking case, which is slated to go to trial in May.

In a decision filed on Friday, Circuit Judge William J Nardini denied the hip-hop mogul’s immediate release from jail while a three-judge panel weighs his bail request.
