Sean “Diddy” Combs might be in jail, but according to sources, the rapper is still feared by many and believe he can still get to any potential witnesses from behind bars.
“He’s so powerful. Everyone was afraid to cross him,” an insider told PEOPLE. “Even though he’s behind bars now, he’s still so powerful. We all knew it even back then.”
Diddy has been denied bail twice, but has recently filed an appeal. A new judge was assigned to the case…which means there is a possibility he could be granted bond and allowed out on house arrest.
“Everyone always chalked it up to being a creative genius when it came to his obsession with controlling things,” the source added.
Diddy was charged last month with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, alleging he “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”
Diddy is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
“He’s incredibly smart,” adds the source. “He knows a lot of people, and he’s helped a lot of people — so a lot of people owe him. He knows that.”
The source also says that Diddy is “capable of a lot” meaning he will do whatever it takes to be a free man.
Could Diddy be calling in favors to escape jail?
