Diddy’s homes in L.A. and Miami are raided by Homeland Security as part of ‘sєx trafficking probe’ after mounting lawsuits

Federal Homeland Security Investigations agents, along with other law enforcement personnel, conducted searches at two properties owned by rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in Los Angeles and Miami on Monday as part of an ongoing sєx trafficking investigation.

Despite facing numerous sєxual harassment and rαpє lawsuits, Diddy was not present during the searches as agents sifted through his properties, removing boxes and bags of potential evidence. Meanwhile, his personal jet, operated by LoveAir LLC, was reportedly tracked to Antigua in the Caribbean, according to TMZ.

In the wealthy Holmby Hills neighborhood near Beverly Hills, a police line was established around Diddy’s Los Angeles residence, where at least two individuals were observed being placed in handcuffs. Armed agents from the Department of Homeland Security were witnessed entering the luxurious properties on both the East and West Coasts of the United States, with helicopters circling overhead capturing video footage.

In the backyard of the Los Angeles home, agents, outfitted in vests, congregated near the pool area. Throughout the operation, multiple officers were seen transporting bags and boxes of potential evidence to a waiting van, with assistance from police dogs.

Diddy’s LA home raided

Law enforcement officials set up a command post outside the house, and agents were seen entering and leaving the premises for several hours as the search unfolded.

A spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York issued a statement AND indicated that the raids were part of an ongoing investigation. This operation was a collaboration between HSI New York, HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami and local law enforcement partners. More detailed information has been promised as it becomes available.

 

Official confirmation regarding the reasons behind the raids has not been immediately disclosed.

This development follows closely after a recent court ruling requiring one of Diddy’s accusers in a sєxual assault lawsuit to reveal her identity. The hip-hop artist has been embroiled in various legal battles, including a lawsuit where an unnamed woman accused him and two associates of sєxually assaulting her when she was 17.

According to Rolling Stone, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York has interviewed several individuals, including “four Jane Does and one John Doe,” as part of a probe into alleged offenses related to sєx trafficking, domestic violence, and racketeering. Additional interviews are reportedly scheduled as the investigation progresses.

While the woman’s identity has yet to be revealed in the lawsuit, a judge just ruled she would no longer be able to stay anonymous if the suit proceeds.

Diddy has filed a motion to have the woman’s case thrown out, and she will reportedly remain anonymous until the judge rules on that motion.

The accuser was the fourth woman to accuse Diddy of sєxual assault in quick succession last year after his ex, the singer Cassie, sued him in November 2023.

Douglas Wigdor, an attorney for Cassie and another one of the Jane Does accusing Diddy.

‘We will always support law enforcemet when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.’

Tyrone Blackburn, a lawyer for accusers Rodney Jones and Liza Gardner, told Rolling Stone: ‘It’s about damn time. Sometimes justice delayed is not justice denied, so long as justice ultimately arrives.’

It’s not clear yet whether Combs was the target of the investigation. A spokesperson for the U.S. attorney´s office in Manhattan declined to comment.

Diddy (real name: Sean Combs) has vehemently denied the accusations of each of the women and claimed they are ‘looking for a quick payday.’

After allegedly supplying the woman with ‘copious amounts of drugs and alcohol,’ Diddy and two pals are accused of taking turns violently rαpíng the teen as she drifted in and out of consciousness, leaving her in so much pain that she could barely stand or remember how she got home, according to her complaint.

In harrowing detail, she described in her suit how Combs allegedly demanded that she pinch his иιρρℓєѕ throughout the attack to help him ‘get off,’ before pulling up a chair to watch her being raped and choked by his associates.

She says she suffered in silence for 20 years until the R&B singer Cassie sued Combs, her former mentor and ex-boyfriend, for allegedly subjecting her to savage beatings, drug-addled hotel orgies and rαpє

Combs denied the claims in that case and the two sides reached an out-of-court settlement barely 24 hours after the suit was made public in November 2023.

After the flurry of subsequent allegations, Diddy tweeted out a new statement under the heading ‘Enough is enough.’

Combs is among the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the past three decades.

Formerly known as Puff Daddy, he built one of hip-hop´s biggest empires, blazing a trail with several entities attached to his famous name.

He is the founder of Bad Boy Records and a three-time Grammy winner who has worked with a slew of top-tier artists including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans and 112.

Combs created the fashion clothing line Sean John, launched the Revolt TV channel with a focus on music, and produced the reality show ‘Making the Band’ for MTV.

Lawsuits against him describe Combs as a violent man who used his celebrity to prey on and intimidate women.
