Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing fresh allegations of witness tampering as he awaits trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

Prosecutors claim the 55-year-old used unauthorized inmate phone accounts and directed family members to influence witnesses. Allegedly, Combs orchestrated social media posts, including a video from his children, to sway potential jury members.

Diddy’s legal team continues to argue for bail, citing inadequate trial preparation in detention, but prosecutors countered, highlighting "serious risks" of obstruction.

These allegations add to the musician's growing legal woes, which include over two dozen civil cases. Combs has denied all charges, maintaining that the accusations stem from consensual encounters.
