P. Diddy Accused of Trying to Influence Jury Through Kids, Social Media

Rapper and producer Sean Combs, 55, better known as P. Diddy, is accused of trying to influence potential jurors in his case, allegedly using videos of a family birthday party and social media to influence potential jurors.

According to new court documents published by People magazine, Combs allegedly used other inmates' phones and the unauthorized messaging service ContactMeASAP to communicate.

The rapper's 30-year-old son Justin posted a video on Instagram* in which he and six of his siblings wished their father a happy birthday by calling him in prison. In the video, Combs thanked his children for their support. Law enforcement officials believe Combs later discussed with his family how the video could affect jurors who saw it online and also monitored social media analytics.

Combs' attorneys filed a motion for bail on November 8, but instead of being granted, more charges followed. He had been denied bail twice by federal judges in September. Combs' defense team had offered $50 million bail, but the court had refused.

Combs maintains his innocence on all charges. His trial is expected to begin in May 2025. Representatives for the rapper have not yet responded to requests for comment.

Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy, is at the center of one of the biggest scandals in show business. In 2024, he was arrested on charges of running a human trafficking and sex trafficking ring, as well as pedophilia. The scandal began with the confessions of Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, and soon grew to include multiple accusations from other women and men, including high-profile figures. In total, more than 120 lawsuits have been filed against him, including from underage victims.

His "white parties" have attracted particular attention, where, according to the lawsuits, rapes took place - even Justin Bieber is considered one of the victims of "white parties" and P. Diddy. Celebrities such as Will Smith, Paris Hilton, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Leonardo DiCaprio and others often attended these events. Despite their participation, there is no evidence of their involvement in crimes yet.
