Music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been denied bail after pleading not guilty to sex trafficking.
The 54-year-old was arrested in Manhattan yesterday, with several lawsuits accusing him of physical and sexual abuse.
US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says Combs was also charged with narcotics offences, kidnapping, arson and bribery - and there's enough evidence to have him put away.

International Correspondence with Ends and Eye Insurance, Peace of Mind
for New Zealand Business. Dan Matsimson, US Correspondence with US.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Now, Hello Dan, and that's why I am a proud
San Diego at heart, born and bred. There.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hi, Okay, things you are proud of, but how you
know you stick with that? Listen, p did he? Okay?
So how long is he going to be in the
slammer before he actually goes to trial.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I think he's going to be in there for a while.
And I think when he this case is all said
and done, I think this is going to be his downfall.
To tell you the truth, Well, prosecute because I think
prosecutors have got a solid case against him at this point.
I think they've interviewed at least a dozen witnesses who
have testified that they've seen women injured as a result
of violence against him. He's being held without bail on
(00:45):
that and racketeering and alleged sex trafficking and kidnapping and
arson and other crimes. I mean, they've been after this
guy for a while, and he was arrested in Manhattan
and they've been going, you know, putting us together for
at least six months after they read it his home
in Los Angeles and Miami, and I think they've got
enough here to put him away for some time when
(01:07):
all said and done.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Apparently what he was doing was he was getting dudes
and girls into a room and then basically, you know,
they were having freak offs or whatever. Is there any suggestion,
like I couldn't quite make a sense of whether this
was consensual or not.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I think that is something that's going to come out
in the case, because you're right, I think there was
a little bit of ambiguity in some of the articles
that I've read, but I think that a lot of
what I read was to do with controlling and he
was buying a lot of these women with drugs and
you know, extortion and I'm holding my financial support from you.
(01:44):
So these are all the allegations, and I think that's,
you know, what's going to get him in the air.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So sort of they were coerced into doing it, and
doing it because they were afraid because he was using
violence and blackmail and stuff like that. Okay, so how
long do they wait these guys before they actually go
to trial for something like this on a federal case.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I think it really just depends on the attorneys to
tell you the truth. You know. You know, some of
these things can get as we've seen with with with
Trump's case, can be sped up, and as we've seen
with other cases, can drag out for you know a
number of rappers who can drag out for years and years.
I think it just depends how much money they're willing
to throw at these at this case and how long
they're going to try to drag their heels.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Okay, it's going to be interesting. Of Americans are at
peak straits apparently.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Why why not? Is what I say. I think we
have politics to tell you about right now. I think
we still have COVID. I think we have the economy.
And my two senses. You're listening to this in New
Zealand right now, and you're going, oh, right now, they're
they're soft over there. But I think this is something
(02:50):
that's not just relatable here in the US, but around
the world because of everything I just mentioned, and the
cutbacks at work and more work for those who are
staying in the office, and it all adds up, and
I think we're seeing a lot more brain fog as well,
which I know is one of those sort of catchphrases
everybody thinks is cute, but I think is something legitimate.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well do you think brain fog is? What's brain fog?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well? I can tell you that I know a number
of people in different situations. My sister who went through
cancer treatment, she described brain fog that she had for
a year or more because of all the treatments that
you have. I think you have people who suffer from
sleep deprivation, asleep apnea too, that describe that you know
they have brain fog because they're just not getting us
the amount of sleep they should be. And then I
(03:31):
think there's just this assumption that we can multitask, which
is been proven to physically be impossible. We cannot multitask.
Our brain can go from one event to another. But
and your boss is not gonna like hearing that. My
boss doesn't like hearing that. But we can't do that,
and our brain just kind of fizzles out after a while.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, sounds like brain fo So.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I don't think I've sold you on this, No, I
was like, sheally gonna.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Say, sounds like something that I think we're all familiar with. Actually, Okay,
it's lack a sleep maybe, But you know, who not
you know that?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Boy?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Don't we all? I think? Oh? Mate, how was the
Barry Manilo concert at the weekend?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh? It was the happiest concert that I have ever
been to.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
He started to look on them all day like he's
getting old.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
He hears and you can tell he's had a lot
of work done on his face. His voice is still fantastic.
I was able to go after the show and spend
a few minutes with him and talk to him. The
nicest guy in the world. I would go back and
see that show in a heartbeat, which is as vagacy
as that sounds. It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
No, I would go with you if I had the option, Dan,
thank you so much. Appreciate it, mate. This Dan Mitchison,
US correspondent. He's slightly embarrassed that he went to see
Barry Manilo. But listen, there was a reason Barry Manilo
was begg was because Barry Manilo knew what he was doing.
And he is a happy guy. Okay, So on the
paper mil to something that's much less happy. The paper
mill that's closing in Penrose and Auckland is the only
mill in this country that recycles paper, which means all
(04:55):
of our paper will now be sent to Malaysia. Like
all of our paper for recycling is going to go
on a ship and go to Malaysia. Now I think
already Auckland Council paper, so Auckland rate payers already the
paper you check in your recycling, but is going to
Malaysia anyway, I think it's now the rest of the
country that's affected. Maybe private businesses who want to recycle
and stuff like that. But anyway, surely someone's done the
(05:16):
maths about which is worse for the environment, which is better,
Like is it better for us to collect all that
paper together and check it on a ship with the
carbon emissions and send it to Malaysia or is it
actually better for us to just dump it in a
landfill in New Zealand. There's only break down in a
few years. We're going to talk to the recycling expert,
Perule Sued at Auckland Council, who beea US ten plus five.
It's quarter two right now. For more from Heather Duplassy
