Diddy's phone is up for grabs!

In a shocking turn of events, the Bad Boy Records founder's phone, containing a whopping three-year backup of sensitive content, has been put up for sale on the black market.

According to RadarOnline.com, the individual who discovered Diddy's phone is attempting to sell it on the black market for a substantial sum. Sources told the publication that the device has been circulating among various media outlets and is now believed to be in the possession of documentarians.

These filmmakers allegedly plan to expose the rapper's troubled past by revealing sensitive information stored on the phone, which could further weaken his case amid his ongoing legal woes in the wake of his September arrest on federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

¡°This would be anyone¡¯s worst nightmare. When you¡¯re Diddy, it could be the difference between freedom and a life behind bars,¡± the source added. ¡°The person who claimed the phone has ostensibly claimed possession is nine-tenths of the law. To him, this phone is now his. Is it legal? Who knows? But in any event, the phone is now on the open market.¡±

Diddy reaching out to potential witnesses from jail

The new development comes almost a week after prosecutors alleged Diddy is trying to contact and influence potential witnesses from behind bars. Reports also revealed that the Finna Get Loose rapper has been orchestrating a social media campaign from prison to turn the narrative in his favour. Prosecutors also alleged that Diddy forced his kids to post a social media wish for him on his birthday to generate positive buzz on social media.

Rare legal win for Diddy

Recently, a judge ordered prosecutors to destroy the papers taken from his jail cell during a sweep, marking a rare win for Diddy since his legal troubles. The rapper who has been denied bail twice has pleaded not guilty to his charges. During a sweep by the Bureau of Prisons at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where the rapper is currently being held, a jail raid confiscated his handwritten notes concerning his trial. In a recent hearing, judges ordered prosecutors to destroy copies of the seized materials, denying to allow them to be used in the court.

Meanwhile, Combs has issued a cease-and-desist order against his former protege Shyne over his new Hulu documentary. According to a source related to the rapper, the motive behind the move wasn't to block the release of the documentary but to ensure that all facts presented were verified and not exaggerated claims.
