(NewsNation) — Major figures in the hip-hop world, as well as Hollywood, are freaking out, wondering if they are on any of the tapes the FBI took out of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes … and if they will either be contacted or asked to testify in the case against him.
On Wednesday, the “All Eyes on You” rapper Meek Mill wrote on X: “I wanna hire an investigative team 100k cash to find out every specific detail involving meek mill name to ‘Diddy’ Case’… I also want them to look at who is powering the media involving ‘meek’ anything to do with buddy! ‘Something not right.”

Meek Mill, others wondering if Feds are going to call: Source
Mill’s name has come up several times in conjunction with Diddy — and Diddy’s former bodyguard Rodney Jones claims to have incriminating tapes against the rapper.
To be fair, Mill isn’t the only one wondering if the Feds are going to call.
Other people in Diddy’s close circle over the years who may have a lot to say includes: Jay-Z, Damon Dash, LA Reid, Jennifer Lopez, Naomi Campbell, his “manipulator-in-chief” Kristina Khorram, his former-maybe-still PR chief Nathalie Moar, Ashton Kutcher, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher and Justin Bieber.
As Harvey Weinstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney Arthur Aidala told me last week on my “Scoop” show on YouTube, he expects Diddy will never see the light of day and get life in prison on the trafficking, rape and drug charges.
