Diddy’s Jail Cell Raided, Prosecutors Allege Witness Tampering from Prison.
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal troubles continue to mount as his lawyers accuse federal authorities of raiding his jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and seizing privileged materials intended for his legal defense.
The alleged raid has sparked outrage from Combs’ legal team, who argue it violated his constitutional rights and compromised his ability to prepare for trial.
The music mogul, facing a racketeering case that includes charges of sex trafficking, forced labor, and obstruction of justice, remains in custody awaiting his trial scheduled for May 5. His legal team has filed an urgent request for a hearing, demanding answers about the raid and seeking to protect his rights as a pre-trial detainee.
Judge Arun Subramanian has ordered prosecutors to respond to the allegations and scheduled a hearing on the matter.
Meanwhile, Combs is seeking house arrest on a $50 million bail package, which includes 24/7 monitoring by security personnel.

In Other News: Diddy Accused of Witness Tampering from Prison
Prosecutors have accused Sean “Diddy” Combs of violating prison rules by contacting potential witnesses in his upcoming trial.
According to court filings, Combs allegedly used other inmates’ telephone accounts and three-way calls to communicate with individuals not on his approved contact list.
Prosecutors further claim that Combs directed his family to contact witnesses and orchestrated social media posts to influence the public narrative and a potential jury pool. Among these efforts was an Instagram post by a witness identified only as “witness two,” who refuted allegations made against Combs in a civil lawsuit.
Prosecutors allege the statement was coordinated during multiple calls and text exchanges with Combs from jail and suggest that “witness two” may have been compensated for her post.
The government has cited these alleged activities as evidence of a risk of witness tampering, arguing that Combs should remain in custody. His legal team, however, contends that jail conditions and limited access to case materials are hindering his ability to prepare for trial.
Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies any wrongdoing. Known for hits like ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ and ‘Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems’, the artist remains a polarizing figure in the ongoing legal saga, which continues to capture public attention.
