(VIDEO)Jennifer Lopez Breaks Silence On Being Diddy’s Victim

Almost 25 years ago, just after 2:30 a.m. on a cold winter night, three NYPD detectives were called to the Midtown North precinct.

Rap impresario Sean Combs, then known as Puffy, his girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, his bodyguard, Anthony “Wolf” Jones, and rapper Jamal “Shyne” Barrow had been arrested following a sh00ting inside a Times Square club that wounded three bystanders.

The cops found Lopez, then 30, cuffed in “the cage.” Combs was also in the stationhouse on West 54th Street, his plans for a spectacular celebration of the new millennium a few days later temporarily on hold.

Jennifer Lopez and Diddy, then known as Puff Daddy, dated for almost two years and were both arrested after the infamous sh00ting in December 1999 at Club New York.

Now the events of that night and the sensational trial that followed it in early 2001 are back in the spotlight.

Two law enforcement sources tell The Post that the infamous sh00ting and the trial could possibly be reinvestigated as part of a sweeping federal probe into Combs, now 54 and called Diddy — whose past includes more than one mysterious sh00ting.

On Monday, Homeland Security agents swarmed Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami in raids that law enforcement sources told The Post were prompted by sex-trafficking allegations.

“They got eyes on him in Miami and the feds are talking to witness after witness,” New York criminal defense attorney Michael Discioarro, who is familiar with the case, told The Post.

“They’re corroborating everything they can. But everything past and present is on the table with Mr. Diddy right now.”

The federal agents stormed into Diddy’s homes one month after Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed an explosive lawsuit claiming the music mogul repeatedly sexually assaulted him from September 2022 to November 2023 while Jones was a producer and videographer for the billionaire.

Jones compared Combs to Jeffrey Epstein and accused the mogul of groping his genitals, grooming him into having sex and forcing him to procure sex workers, strippers and drugs.
