Rapper Diddy Allegedly Used Prison Phone Accounts to Influence Jury

Sean “Diddy” Combs, famously known as a rapper and music producer, is facing serious allegations. He's been accused of using other prison inmates' phone accounts to make calls and influence potential jurors. This comes after his arrest in New York on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting for prostitution. Despite offering a $50 million bond, his bail was denied and he was put on suicide watch. Prosecutors say Combs used the phone accounts of at least eight inmates to talk to people not on his approved contact list. They have recordings of these calls. They worry that Combs is trying to sway the jury with these calls and social media posts arranged by his family.One instance was when his son King Combs took over his social media to post a birthday message, which prosecutors believe was planned to influence the jury. They also allege that Combs told family how to ensure the post had the right effect on potential jurors. Prosecutors argue that Combs is trying to avoid law enforcement and obstruct justice. They’re using these claims to argue against his request for another bail hearing. Combs' lawyers deny the new accusations, and they’re confident the truth will come out in court.
