According to ABC News, prosecutors are making a strong case against granting bail to Sean “Diddy” Combs before his trial in May 2025. His legal team proposed a $50 million bail package with strict conditions, including no phone, no Internet, no passport, and random drug tests. However, federal prosecutors countered that Diddy has shown he cannot be trusted to follow rules.
As evidence, they accused him of tampering with the jury pool and attempting to blackmail witnesses. Allegedly, Diddy paid eight inmates for access to their private phone codes to make calls from jail. These calls were recorded, revealing his schemes to influence the case. He is also said to have sent hundreds of text messages to accusers and witnesses not approved for contact. The allegations have heightened the drama surrounding his legal battle and made his upcoming trial even more anticipated.
