P Diddy promised he will stay away from women and drugs if a judge granted him bail it has been revealed.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is currently behind bars awaiting trial where he is being held without bail following his indictment on sex-trafficking and racketeering charges.
His lawyers have twice attempted to have him freed without success.
Now it transpires he has promised that he will have no female visitors and succumb to weekly drug testing if he is released on bail.
He was denied bail despite agreeing to ban women from his home and have no contact with people who are considered witnesses if he was released from custody.
Judges Andrew Carter and Robyn Tarnofsky both denied Combs’ bail after his arrest on September 16.

They agreed with prosecutors in New York that he was a significant flight risk, a danger to the community, and there was a clear risk of witness tampering.
The 54-year-old’s legal team filed their second appeal on Monday.
On September 17, prosecutors claimed that in the months leading up to his arrest, Combs had contacted both victims and witnesses in the case, asking for their “friendship and support” and sometimes “gaslighting” them into believing “false narratives”.
Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo had presented to the court a significant ‘package proposal’ including a $50 million bond that would be secured by his $48 million Miami mansion, the equity in his mother’s Florida condo, as well as Combs’ passport and those of four of hia children.
Agnifilo asked the court to “trust” Combs, pointing out the steps the Bad Boy Entertainment founder had taken in the lead-up to his arrest to demonstrate that he wasn’t a flight risk.
But Judge Tarnofsky referred to the severity of the charges against Combs and his apparent “anger issues” in denying his release.
He told Combs: “Your lawyer asked us to trust you – [I don’t think] you can trust yourself,” she said. “Your lawyer can’t control you”.
In addition to the original bail package proposal, Agnifilo had presented fresh restrictions that would address some of the court’s concerns that Combs presents a danger to the community and would attempt to contact victims and witnesses.
Combs said he would agree to weekly drug testing after his alleged substance abuse was repeatedly mentioned by prosecutors, who claimed police found a pink powdery substance inside Combs’ five-star hotel room following his arrest.
Results of the substance had not been confirmed, officials noted, but said it was similar in appearance to drugs they confiscated from his Miami mansion during the March raid that later tested positive for ecstasy and other illicit substances.
If Combs was granted release on house arrest, visitors to his Miami compound would be restricted, only allowing for “family, property caretakers, and friends who are not considered to be co-conspirators” according to Agnifilo’s letter to the judge.
No women outside family members and the mothers of his children would be allowed to visit Combs.
Additionally, Combs’ personal security would require “any person who enters the property to sign a visitor log” which would then be provided to the court nightly.
Speaking to members of the press after Combs was remanded into custody, Agnifilo said he would fight the decision to hold his client without bail.
“Mr. Combs is a fighter. He’s going to fight this until the end. He is innocent,” the lawyer said. “We’re going to fight this case with everything we have.”
Agnifilo has also stated that Combs will not plea bargain and will fight the case, including taking to the stand in his defence.
