NEW YORK (Reuters) -Sean "Diddy" Combs will remain in custody for at least several more days as a U.S. judge considers his bid to be released on $50-million bail from the Brooklyn jail where the music mogul has been held for 10 weeks.

The beleaguered rapper-mogul will remain incarcerated for the weekend in Brooklyn as he awaits his trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, which is set for May.

The music mogul is being held on a bond of $50 million in New York’s Metropolitan Detention Center as he awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges
