Diddy's lawyers submitted a letter to the federal judge overseeing his sex trafficking and racketeering case and asked to place a gag order on the witnesses, citing, quote, a deluge of improper pretrial publicity. They have claimed that statements made by certain individuals are, quote, undermining Mr. Combs' right to a fair trial and the integrity of the grand jury proceedings.

This comes after one apparent grand jury witness gave a press conference that included, according to his attorneys, false and outrageous claims about Diddy's involvement in alleged sexual assault of both celebrities and minors.

Daily Mail wrote about this story, pointing out how lawyers have hit out specifically at one of Diddy's former friends, Courtney Burgess, who has claimed in online interviews that he's seen videos of major celebrities being, quote, victimized at Diddy's notorious freak-off parties.

That's right. And Berkus had claimed the videos were on a flash drive kept by Diddy's late ex, Kim Porter, who died in 2018. Now, Diddy's lawyers have said, quote, These stories have spread rapidly through the media and created the impression that such videos exist, which is false, and that the government is actually crediting his sensational claims, which is profoundly prejudicial.

Well, of course there is, Kayla. It's been reported that Diddy has been heard on a call from prison this week as his children rang to wish him happy birthday. On Monday, Diddy's son, Justin Combs, shared a video in which Diddy could be heard on the phone talking with his kids, Quincy Brown, Justin... Christian King, Chance, Jesse, Delilah, and Love.

This is one of the first times his voice has been heard since his arrest back in September, which is odd to think about when we're all used to hearing him so often.

Yeah. And in that video, you can hear Diddy saying things like, I love you guys so much. I can't wait to see you all. He tells them how proud he is of them, especially the girls. He says, thank you all for being strong. Thanks for being by my side, for supporting him. He continues to say that he loves them, that he has the best family in the world.

And he actually says that he's happy and thanks them for the call.

Yeah, it kind of makes you wonder how many more Diddy's birthday messages will be coming from jail. You know, as we mentioned a moment ago, he turned 55 this week and will face a jury in the spring of 2025. So Diddy is now and has been for the past seven and a half weeks. He's been incarcerated at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.

And also his requests for bail have been denied and he's facing a life sentence if he's convicted of all the charges. The minimum possible term if convicted of all three offenses is 15 years behind bars, which means Puff would be nearing 70 years old by the time he would be released.
