Homeland Security Agents Raid Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s Properties Amid Sex Trafficking Probe
US authorities conducted raids on properties owned by influential rapper and mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs as part of a sex trafficking investigation linked to federal authorities in New York, according to insider sources.
The operations, carried out by Homeland Security agents, targeted two residences belonging to Combs, one in Los Angeles and the other in Miami, as reported by the Associated Press.
While the specifics of the investigation remain undisclosed, it is yet unclear if Combs himself is the primary focus of the probe.
Homeland Security Investigations affirmed that the actions were part of an ongoing inquiry, with support from entities like HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and local law enforcement partners.
Combs, also known by monikers Puff Daddy and Diddy, has been tied to several lawsuits alleging sexual assault and coercion in recent times, including accusations from figures like former protege Cassie.
Combs, a three-time Grammy winner, is renowned for his efforts in the music industry, founding Bad Boy Records and collaborating with artists like Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil Kim, Faith Evans, and 112.
Besides music, Combs ventured into fashion with the creation of Sean John, launched Revolt TV focusing on music content, and produced Making the Band for MTV, solidifying his influence in the entertainment realm.
