Social media influencers that have discussed the Diddy case claimed they were harassed by private investigators. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is now involved in the matter after one of the influencers filed a harassment complaint, according to TMZ . TikTok user Samson Crouppen, who goes by the username @samsoncrouppen1, posted a video to his account Monday showing two men he claimed were private investigators questioning him at his residence in Los Angeles.
They appeared to be respectful in their approach but they continued to question him on weather he was paid to discuss the Diddy case. He was the one behind the complaint, according to an LAPD document obtained by TMZ.

He could be heard asking why they came to his home. The two men appear to question him about whether he had been paid to talk about the Diddy content on his platform.
Crouppen replied by saying “no,” and denied having received any monetary compensation for coverage of the disgraced music mogul . This didn’t stop the men from asking the same question repeatedly.

Another influencer named Amala Ekpunobi, operating under the username aka @amalaekpunobi, claims she was also approached by the same alleged private investigators that questioned Crouppen. Her story was similar in nature.
She claimed the men asked her questions about whether she was paid to cover Diddy and she said she felt her numerous stories about the rapper put her on the radar with the alleged investigators, according to a videos she shared to social media. Ekpunobi claimed that they offered her money to identify who was allegedly paying her to talk about Diddy, but she insisted she has not received any type of payment in relation to her coverage. She also claimed the men told her they were speaking to up to ten other influencers who have shared similar content to their social media accounts.
