The allegations have been presented in a letter to the court. The prosecutors also urge the judge to reject Diddy's request for bail.

The prosecutors rely on recordings of phone calls made by Diddy from custody. According to the conversations, Diddy has asked family members to contact witnesses and victims to create "their own narratives" to influence the jury. They are also said to have discussed media strategies to turn public opinion.

The prosecutors write that the defendant has "clearly and repeatedly" shown that he disregards the rules, and that it can be concluded that Diddy wants to try to silence witnesses and victims.

The hip-hop mogul has been sued by over 120 people for, among other things, rape, sexual assault, and sexual exploitation. The lawsuits are part of several legal actions against Diddy, who is already facing charges of sexual assault, assault, and extortion. He has previously tried to be released from custody on bail.
