Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami have reportedly been raided by federal agents, in connection to a sex trafficking investigation.
A rep for Homeland Security Investigations told TMZ on Monday: “Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.
“We will provide further information as it becomes available.”
The rapper, who has faced numerous allegations of sexual harassment and assault over the past few months, was nowhere to be seen in aerial footage of the raids.
Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie was the first to speak out against the 54-year-old, accusing him of rape, assault and repeated physical abuse in a lawsuit filed in November 2023.
The former couple dated on and off from 2007 until 2018.
At the time, Diddy vehemently denied her “offensive and outrageous allegations”.
A statement from his lawyer Ben Brafman said: “For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail.”
“Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs’s reputation and seeking a payday.”
The following day, Cassie dropped the suit and announced that they had settled “amicably”.
Since then, four more alleged victims have come forward accusing Diddy of sexual assault.
Diddy has denied all the accusations, and claimed they are “looking for a quick payday”.
The most recent claims against Diddy came from Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones last month, who accused the rapper of sexually harassing, drugging and threatening him between September 2022 to November 2023.
Diddy denied the allegations, and accused him of “shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday”.
