Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ legal team has alleged that prosecutors edited a 2016 video of an altercation with Cassie to portray him as more threatening. The accusation comes as part of a motion filed in preparation for his upcoming detention hearing.

Diddy’s Legal Team Files Motion Ahead of Bail Hearing

Ahead of Diddy’s bail hearing scheduled for Friday, Nov. 22, his attorneys are intensifying their efforts to secure his release. On Thursday, Nov. 21, the defense filed a motion accusing prosecutors of presenting a manipulated version of the Cassie altercation video during a prior bond hearing. The footage, which originally surfaced in March, is said to have been altered to paint Diddy in a more menacing light, potentially influencing the judge’s decision to deny bail.

Diddy Seeks Bail After Multiple Denials

This marks Diddy’s latest attempt to secure bail following multiple failed efforts. Judges have previously denied his appeals for release, siding with prosecutors who argue that Diddy poses a risk of witness tampering. His legal team initially proposed a $50 million bond package, but the court rejected it.

The latest defense filing comes just days after prosecutors accused Diddy of attempting to contact potential witnesses while in custody, further complicating his case according to TMZ.

Diddy Faces Serious Charges

Diddy has been detained at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since his arrest on Sept. 16. He faces charges including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation for purposes of prostitution. His trial is set to begin on May 25, 2025.

With tensions mounting, Diddy’s upcoming hearing could be a turning point in his fight for freedom as his legal battles continue to unfold.
