A popular YouTube personality has claimed private investigators are trying to discover if she was paid for covering Sean “Diddy” Combs.
On Monday (November 18), Amala Ekpunobi, a content creator with over 2 million YouTube subscribers, made some startling claims. In a video, Ekpunobi alleged private investigators are contacting influencers covering Diddy to determine whether they’re being paid off.
“Two private investigators just visited a place I used to live in search of me,” Ekpunobi said. “They were coming to ask me whether or not I’ve been paid to talk about P Diddy and his connection to other celebrities on my show.”
She claimed her former housemate contacted her, and she spoke to the investigators on the phone.
“They did not immediately disclose that they were private investigators,” she added. “I had to coax that out of them through being quite hostile to them throughout the conversation. But they kept bringing up my content that I made in regard to P Diddy and his connection to other celebrities.”
Ekpunobi, who has covered Diddy’s recent legal scandal on her channel, although her content appears to be mainly right-wing politics, claims the investigators refused to disclose who hired them. However, they said they were contacting “multiple influencers” to determine whether they were paid to talk about Diddy.
“Not only would they pay me to disclose who I was being paid by,” Ekpunobi claimed, “but they would pay me more than whatever I was getting to share the opposite story.”
