Sean “Diddy” Combs faces mounting legal pressure as federal prosecutors prepare to call his former employees to testify while also seeking to introduce a 911 call they say could severely damage his defense.
The Government alleges that in December 2011, the Hip-Hop mogul broke into a Los Angeles residence where a victim had been staying.
Prosecutors say the victim called 911 shortly after discovering the break-in and they plan to use that call as evidence at trial.
“Because this call was made shortly after discovering the break-in… Individual 2’s statements are nevertheless admissible because they were made close in time to when he observed the break-in at his home,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Matthew Podolsky.
They claim the 911 call reflects the victim’s mental state during the incident and offer more proof Diddy was leading a violent criminal enterprise.
The 911 call is just one piece of a broader strategy prosecutors are building as they pursue three felony counts against Diddy, including racketeering conspiracy, six trafficking, and transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.
In addition to the call, the Government plans to introduce testimony and communications from Diddy’s former employees, security guards and assistants, including text messages and recordings.
Prosecutors say these statements are directly tied to the employees’ roles in serving Diddy and are relevant to the alleged criminal enterprise.
“At trial, the Government anticipates introducing multiple statements made by the defendant’s employees… Those statements will be offered as exhibits (including text messages sent by the defendant’s employees and recordings of the defendant’s employees), as well as through the testimony of witnesses. These statements cover a variety of different topics, but they all center around the employees’ core job responsibilities of serving the defendant,” Podolsky said.
The Government is also asking the court to block Diddy from introducing his own prior statements unless they meet specific legal exceptions.
They want to prevent the defense from presenting arguments about his character or suggesting the charges are politically motivated or retaliatory.

Cue the mariachi band for Cinco de Mayo!
So many people (allegedly) let so much go on for too long. Now that many of them may believe that their past is behind them, their names are dragged into mess that they probably forgot about, or would rather forget, they may finally realize that walking away or not getting involved would have been worth it. Have some integrity, folks.
I'm sure there is more pieces to this puzzle. They all add up to guilty in the first degree, like murder. LOLO
He should have taken a deal because the amount of evidence is going to bury him.
Ole Ole
Dirty Diddy going down in flames.
So they want to introduce old messages for their case but the same rule can't apply to the defense?? Probably won't work. When you allow old messages for one you must do it for the all.
^AMEN. PREACH!
This supposedly happened December 2011. It's 2025. So there's no statute of limitations on this?
Unless it's Murd3r, there's statutes of Limitations on everything
