Prosecutors in the ongoing case against Sean “Diddy” Combs have made major claims of the music mogul’s behaviour behind the bars.

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams and his legal team claim that Sean Combs orchestrated a social media post to influence the jury in the case. They also argued that Diddy’s “witness tampering” from behind the bars should be grounds to deny him the $50 million bail that his team requested.

“While at the MDC, the defendant has instructed family members and third parties to contact multiple potential victims and witnesses,” the prosecutors claimed, noting that witnesses include “former romantic partners and former employees, most of whom have experienced or witnessed the defendant perpetrate significant violence.”

They claimed that the music mogul used “coded language” in his communications and “orchestrated a social media campaign around his birthday [on November 4] for the express purpose of influencing the jury in this criminal case. In the multiple calls leading up to the birthday post — all of which occurred on unauthorized communication channels — the defendant meticulously planned out the post. The video, depicting six of the defendant’s children singing him happy birthday while speaking to the defendant by phone, was initially posted to the defendant’s children’s pages, but the defendant was not satisfied that it would reach the correct demographic.”

They alleged that he “told a family member that he had been tracking the ‘analytics’” and told them to post the video on his account “for the explicit reason that he wanted to better taint the jury pool.”

“A holistic view of his obstructive and violent conduct — conduct that is still happening presently — makes clear that there is no way to rebut the applicable presumption of detention in this case,” they stated.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after being charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and more crimes.
