Diddy has been placing secret phone calls, intimidating witnesses, and planning a public relations strategy meant to taint the jury pool in his upcoming trial, all from inside a federal jail, argued prosecutors in a new memo.

";s:6:"format";s:4:"html";s:9:"textStyle";s:12:"default-body";s:6:"layout";s:11:"body-layout";}i:3;O:8:"stdClass":5:{s:4:"role";s:4:"body";s:4:"text";s:484:"

The 30-page memo was filed on Friday (November 15) in response to Diddy’s latest attempt to be granted bail. (There is a hearing on the matter scheduled for next Friday, November 22). The document claims that since Diddy has been incarcerated, he has used a variety of means to evade Bureau of Prisons monitoring of his communications, in violation of jail rules, so that he could make calls that evade surveillance and speak to people he wasn’t authorized to reach out to.

";s:6:"format";s:4:"html";s:9:"textStyle";s:12:"default-body";s:6:"layout";s:11:"body-layout";}i:4;O:8:"stdClass":5:{s:4:"role";s:4:"body";s:4:"text";s:387:"

His methods, the government claims, included “using PAC [phone access code] numbers belonging to other inmates to make calls; using three-way calls to contact other individuals, including individuals who are not on his approved contact list; and using an unauthorized third-party communication system to send messages to numerous individuals, including unauthorized contacts.”

Part of the reason for this, the memo continues, was so that Diddy could plan a public relations strategy in order to influence the jury pool.

“[T]he defendant is explicit about his intention to use public statements to alter public perception,” the memo reads. It points in particular to a “social media campaign” around Diddy’s birthday, — citing this post in particular — which the memo says the mogul “enlisted family members to plan and execute” at his “carefully curated direction.”

“The defendant (from within the [jail]) then monitored the analytics—i.e., audience engagement—and explicitly discussed with his family how to ensure that the video had his desired effect on potential jury members in this case,” it continues.

The document also makes mention of Diddy’s alleged “relentless efforts to contact potential witnesses, including victims of his abuse who could provide powerful testimony against him… [T]he defendant’s goal is to blackmail victims and witnesses either into silence or providing testimony helpful to his defense.”

HipHopDX reached out to Diddy’s representatives for a response, but they were not immediately available.

Federal prosecutors aren’t the only ones with negative things to say about Diddy. Shyne recently admitted that he once looked at Diddy as the devil during their strained relationship following the 1999 shooting that he ultimately went to prison for.

The rapper-turned-politician is making his rounds to promote his new Hulu documentary The Honorable Shyne ahead of its premiere on November 18. Appearing on The Stephen A. Smith Show on Thursday (November 14), Shyne opened up about his previous thoughts on Diddy and denied the long-standing rumor he was paid off to take the fall.

“I’ve always maintained in every interview I did until recently when I healed and I moved on and I forgave, but for years I was saying what a creep I thought he was and how he destroyed my life and at one point, I thought he was the devil,” he said. “But because of the power of Diddy which is so loud a far as a pop culture icon, nobody listened. And so I moved on! And I pivoted my life to healing, to forgiveness and to taking accountability for what I can control.”
