P. Diddy continues to manipulate

The fact that P. Diddy is still in jail does not mean that he is calmly waiting for his court appearance. While his lawyers are (still) trying to get him released on bail, Diddy himself is trying to take control of his case again. From prison, he is reaching out to potential jurors and witnesses. And his children are helping out.

Contact with the outside world

New documents from the prosecutors in the case reveal that Diddy sought contact with the outside world through intermediaries to influence his trial. In recordings from the Metropolitan Detention Center, where Diddy is incarcerated, he can be heard asking family members to approach victims and other potential witnesses. And no, he is certainly not doing this in the friendliest manner. People who are not Team Diddy would be blackmailed. All to keep those little mouths shut during the trial. He is also said to have tried to influence various jurors. These are the people who will decide on his sentence, and he wants them in a certain place; in his inner pocket. Everything happened through phone credits (in prison, everyone is entitled to a certain number of call minutes, and Diddy used the calling time of his “colleagues” so he had more calling time at his disposal to arrange things) of fellow inmates, who were paid through intermediaries to help him. From prison, Diddy has permission to speak only with a specific list of people; those he sought contact with for this ‘help’ were not on that list. But he reached them through those call lines of fellow inmates.

Family effort

Diddy is certainly not executing his plan alone. His children, who had previously expressed their support, are helping him. They were tasked with posting messages on social media to influence public opinion. They shared a video in which they celebrated their father's birthday in detail, complete with a cake and birthday songs. Diddy then kept track of how many responses there were and what the overall mood was around the responses to guide his children in future posts to further shape public opinion and mold it in his favor.

Bail at risk

Since Diddy has been incarcerated, his lawyers have been trying to get him released on bail. In addition to a bail amount of 50 million dollars, he would have to adhere to house arrest with GPS monitoring and security guards keeping an eye on him 24/7. Only his lawyers and family would be allowed to visit him. Twice before, the lawyers“ request has been denied, but they keep trying. According to the prosecutor, this third time should also be denied. ”The defendant has shown that he cannot be trusted to adhere to rules or conditions.‘ On Friday, Diddy must appear before the judge again; there is a good chance we will hear more about whether he can wait for the further process in ’freedom' or not. But given his current manipulative practices, we suspect he won't be able to hang up his orange suit in the closet for the time being.
