NEW YORK—Sean “Diddy” Combs is staying locked up after a judge Wednesday rejected the rapper’s proposal that he await his sex trafficking trial in the luxury of his Florida mansion instead of a grim Brooklyn federal jail.

U.S. District Judge Andrew L. Carter ruled that Combs’ plan—which included a $50 million bail offer, GPS monitoring and strict limitations on visitors—was “insufficient” to ensure the safety of the community and the integrity of his case.
