Sean Combs has been in prison since last month after his arrest on charges of sex trafficking, conspiracy and transportation for prostitution, but the silence in the industry about the complaints against him reveals the power he wields even from prison. A source told PEOPLE that P Diddy is capable of doing a lot. ‘He is so powerful. Everyone was afraid to contradict him.
Even though he’s behind bars now, he’s still so powerful. We all knew it even then,’ the source said.
‘Everyone always attributed him to being a creative genius when it came to his obsession with controlling things.’
So influential but still in prison
P Diddy has not pleaded guilty and is still in jail because he has not been granted bail. Every day more and more allegations come out about how he exploited minors, how he promised to make a career and then exploited people in the industry. One expert said that the scandal is now so big that there can be no public relations damage control. ‘In all honesty, I haven’t seen any crisis PR management by Diddy or his team and because of this particular case, it’s not surprising. The scale of the scandal means it’s not business as usual for Team Diddy, especially since he was refused bail,’ an expert quoted by Irish Star as saying.
The 54-year-old rapper is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He has not been granted special privileges in prison.
Hailey Bieber’s cryptic post
Amid speculation about Justin Bieber’s past closeness with Diddy, Justin’s wife, Haley Bieber, posted a photo of Justin showing his middle finger in the air. Captioned ‘mood’, the photo was likely a response to rumours circulating that Justin Bieber was one of the celebrities linked to Diddy’s crime. In an old video that has now emerged, Diddy was heard explaining that he would take unofficial custody of Justin, who was 15 years old at the time.
