Combs was arrested Monday on charges of extortion, conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. Diddy pleaded not guilty in court on Tuesday.

The proposal included $50 million bail, home detention with GPS monitoring, a promise not to have women visit him and regular drug testing.

The bail hearing was an appeal against a judge’s decision yesterday to keep Combs in custody.
