Sean Diddy Combs phone calls have created a big controversy for him while in jail. The famous rapper and music producer is facing serious charges of sex trafficking, prostitution, and racketeering, which he denies. But now, prosecutors are saying he broke jail rules by using illegal ways to contact people outside the prison.
According to prosecutors, Combs made secret phone calls to change what witnesses might say about him. They claim he used other inmates’ phone access codes to make these calls, some of which were to his children and other people who could influence his case. He’s also accused of using a service called ContactMeASAP to reach people he wasn’t allowed to talk to.
The prosecutors mentioned a call between Combs and one of his sons in October. Although the conversation has not been fully shared, it supposedly shows Combs trying to blackmail witnesses. He is also accused of telling others to send money to inmates who helped him make these calls, using apps, or putting money in their prison accounts.

Will Sean Diddy Combs Phone Calls Change the Narrative About Him?
On November 4, his son Justin posted a video on Instagram showing Combs’ children calling him from prison to wish him a happy birthday.
Prosecutors believe Combs planned this video to make himself look good before the trial. They claim he even tracked how many people watched it and discussed with his family how it could help his case.
Combs’ lawyers have pushed back, saying the case against him is weak. In a recent bail request, they argued that some of the evidence, including an old video from 2016, doesn’t prove anything. They also offered a $50 million bail package, but prosecutors want the judge to deny it, saying Combs cannot be trusted to follow the rules.
This is not the first time Combs has faced legal trouble, but it is one of his most serious cases. His legal team is pushing for him to be placed under home detention instead of remaining in jail as he awaits trial.
However, prosecutors strongly oppose this idea, arguing that Combs is both a danger and a flight risk. They believe he could interfere with the case if released, pointing out that he’s already facing more than 20 civil lawsuits. They are urging the court to keep him in custody until the trial begins.
