Prosecutors Accuse Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of Misconduct in Jail, Alleging Witness Tampering and Social Media Schemes

Sean “Diddy” Combs faces fresh accusations from prosecutors who allege the music mogul has breached prison regulations and attempted to manipulate ongoing legal proceedings.

The claims were detailed in court documents filed on 15 November, as prosecutors opposed Combs’ renewed request for bail, according to People.

The 55-year-old, currently detained at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre following a September indictment on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and facilitating prostitution, has been accused of orchestrating actions to “subvert the integrity” of his case.

Allegations of Jail Rule Violations

Prosecutors allege Combs used unauthorised means to communicate, including the PAC (phone access code) numbers of fellow inmates and a third-party messaging service called ContactMeASAP.

Through these methods, they claim Combs contacted multiple individuals, including attorneys and others not approved for communication.

According to the filing, Combs also arranged payments to inmates for the use of their PAC numbers, funnelling money through payment apps and commissary accounts.

He allegedly employed three-way calls—prohibited by the Bureau of Prisons—to obscure the identities of those he contacted.

Social Media Influence

Prosecutors further accuse Combs of leveraging his family and social media to sway public opinion and potentially influence jurors. For his birthday, Combs allegedly orchestrated a campaign involving his children, who posted a video of a family gathering celebrating the occasion.

“The defendant enlisted family members to plan and execute a social media campaign… with the intention of influencing the potential jury in this criminal proceeding,” the filing claims.

In the video, shared by Combs’ son Justin, the siblings, including one participating via FaceTime, called their father in prison. Combs expressed gratitude for their support, but prosecutors allege the campaign was part of a calculated strategy, citing his reported monitoring of video analytics to assess its impact on the public.

Prosecutors Oppose Bail

Prosecutors have strongly opposed Combs’ latest motion for bail, which included a proposed $50 million package. They argue he remains a flight risk, poses a danger to others, and continues to contact potential witnesses, including alleged victims.

“While attempting to evade law enforcement monitoring, the defendant has… made efforts to publicly leak materials he views as helpful to his case,” prosecutors wrote, asserting that Combs’ actions were part of a broader effort to “obstruct and subvert this criminal proceeding.”

Defence Pushes Back

Combs’ legal team maintains that the case against him is weak. They have challenged evidence cited by prosecutors, including a 2016 video allegedly showing him assaulting a woman in a Los Angeles hotel.

“The video is not evidence of a coerced ‘freak off,’ but rather a minutes-long glimpse into a complex but decade-long consensual relationship between Mr. Combs and Victim 1,” his attorneys argued in court documents.

What Lies Ahead

Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Two federal judges have already denied him bail due to concerns about potential witness tampering. His trial is set to begin in May 2025, with prosecutors determined to present their case against the high-profile defendant.

This unfolding saga raises significant questions about justice and accountability in cases involving public figures, ensuring that Combs’ upcoming trial will be one of the most closely watched legal proceedings of 2025.
