Prosecutors Accuse Sean “Diddy” Combs of Tampering With Witnesses and Trying to Taint the Jury Pool From Inside Prison, as They Oppose His Attempt at Bail

In the runup to his May 2025 trial on the charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, mogul rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is attempting to reverse his pre-trial incarceration and be granted bail.

In their court filing, prosecutors argue against releasing Combs, saying he remains a flight risk and a risk to society, to witnesses in his trial and potentially to other victims.

And – what’s more – they accuse the disgraced star of continued criminal behavior from inside the Brooklyn MDC prison.

NBC News reported:

“Federal prosecutors have accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of breaking jail rules in an attempt to manipulate witness testimony and taint the potential jury pool in his case, according to a court document filed Friday.”

In custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, Combs entered a not guilty plea.

His legal team keeps fighting the decision to deny Combs bail and has requested yet another bail hearing.

In their opposition to the motion, prosecutors accused Combs of obstruction from behind bars.

“Combs has allegedly ‘continued to try to evade law enforcement monitoring, corruptly influence witness testimony, and further attack the integrity of these proceedings’, the filing said.

According to prosecutors, Combs has ordered payments to fellow inmates to use their telephone accounts and has used three-way calling to contact people who are not on his approved contacts list against federal prison regulations.”

By recording his phone calls, government was able to show how the rapper instructed family members ‘to contact potential victims and witnesses in his case’.

He was also ‘promoting narratives on social media to influence a potential jury pool’.

“Some details in the prosecution’s filings were redacted, including excerpts of phone calls apparently made by Diddy and his ‘adult son’ that the prosecution say showed ‘the clear inference that the defendant’s goal is to blackmail victims and witnesses either into silence or providing testimony helpful to his defense’.”

There are ‘no conditions’ that would assure that Combs is not a flight risk or a threat to the safety of others, the filing says.

“’The defendant’s emphasis on 24/7 private security is also problematic’, the motion said. ‘The defendant has demonstrated an uncanny ability to get others to do his bidding — employees, family members, and MDC inmates alike’.”
