High profile celebrities are likely to be questioned as part of Diddy’s sex trafficking probe, as federal agents reportedly prepare to subpoena Diddy’s flight manifests.
Federal law enforcement sources told TMZ that the investigation into the rapper and music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs will involve sending subpoenas to charter jet companies and intrerviewing passengers who flew with him on chartered planes, many of whom are expected to be prominent stars.
Those close to the situation said federal agents are likely to demand the flight manifests to establish who was with Diddy on each trip he took, meaning many other stars are likely to play key roles in the probe into Diddy’s lifestyle.

Widening the investigation to include interviews with passengers on Diddy’s plane could enable federal agents to verify claims made by individuals who filed lawsuits against the rapper, according to TMZ.

Passengers who are not suing the star and have not made allegations against Diddy will still likely be questioned about the nature of their relationship with Diddy and whether they saw him commit crimes, according to the outlet.

The large scale probe continues to unfold, and the spotlight has fallen on several of Diddy’s personal affiliates and business associates.
Four women and one man have come forward with allegations against Diddy that include sexual assault, sex trafficking, rape and gang rape.
