Diddy accused of using jailmates’ phones to try to blackmail witnesses in sex trafficking case

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing a series of serious allegations - (AP)

Prosecutors made the allegations as part of a motion filed on Friday in which they urged a Manhattan judge to reject Combs’ latest $50 million bail proposal.
