Prosecutors have accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of attempting to manipulate his sex-trafficking trial by bypassing jail monitoring protocols, pressuring victims through blackmail, and engaging in other serious violations.

In a filing on Friday, obtained by Page Six, federal authorities alleged that since his detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY, the 55-year-old music mogul has “repeatedly” broken prison regulations by communicating with unauthorized individuals.

Combs is accused of using the phone accounts of “at least eight other inmates” to evade monitoring of his calls. Prosecutors claim he compensated these inmates through payment apps and commissary deposits in exchange for access to their accounts.

Additionally, the “Bad Boy for Life” rapper allegedly instructed family members and attorneys to connect others through unauthorized three-way calls. Prosecutors emphasized that such practices conceal the identities of those being contacted, violating Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) rules.

They also accused Combs of orchestrating a public relations strategy while in custody to influence public perception and jury sentiment. Prosecutors cited his recent 55th birthday as an example, where his children, allegedly under his direction, posted a celebratory video online.

The filing further claims Combs aims to anonymously release information favorable to his defense and silence or sway victims and witnesses through intimidation or coercion. These actions, prosecutors argued, demonstrate his intent to disrupt a fair trial and manipulate the outcome of the case.

The founder of Bad Boy Records was arrested in September after a months-long investigation into allegations of misconduct, including raids on his properties.
