US prosecutors have alleged Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been breaking prison rules by contacting potential witnesses in his upcoming sex trafficking trial.
The music mogul is accused of making "relentless efforts" to "corruptly influence witness testimony", by using other inmates' telephone accounts, and using three-way calls to speak to people who are not on his approved contacts list.
Prosecutors in a court filing said a review of recorded calls also found that Mr. Combs instructed his family to contact potential witnesses in his case.
Mr. Combs, 55, is in custody in Manhattan.
He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges against him and strenuously denied any wrongdoing.
The musician has been denied bail since his arrest, with multiple judges citing a risk that he might tamper with witnesses.
