‘Tense’ Diddy spotted at Miami airport before his jet takes off after agents raid his mansions in sex trafficking probe
FEDERAL agents have been spotted hauling laptops and big boxes of evidence out of Diddy's mansions in Los Angeles and Miami.
Homeland Security raided the rapper's multimillion-dollar properties in Florida and California on Monday as part of a federal investigation.
The federal probe was launched by authorities in New York, the outlet reported, and it's unclear at this point if Diddy is the target of the investigation.
Diddy was not under arrest but he was seen at Miami Airport after the raids on Monday.
He was walking around by himself outside a Customs office at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, reported.
Flight tracking data reportedly showed the jet had landed in Antigua on Monday.
Homeland Security confirmed during the raid that its agents “executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.”
Three women and a man were interviewed by police in Manhattan over allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms, reported.
Another three people were scheduled to be interviewed, according to the outlet.
Police sources told that agents were looking to seize phones and computers.
The feds were seen walking out of Diddy's Miami home with boxes of evidence and a bag containing two laptops.
These raids come after Diddy's ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura, better known as Cassie, accused him last year of sexually abusing and assaulting her throughout their relationship.
Cassie filed a lawsuit in November 2023, claiming that she faced “a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” until her relationship with Diddy ended in 2018.
The two settled the lawsuit the day after it was filed but three other women filed claims against Diddy in the following weeks.
Diddy faced another lawsuit in February 2024 after Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who helped produce Diddy's most recent album, claimed that the mogul sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him from September 2022 to November 2023 as they worked together.
Diddy, or Sean Combs, has denied all of the claims against him.
Some federal investigators were said to have shown up at his private dock on boats.
The home is 19,545 square feet and features nine bedrooms, and 12 bathrooms, as well as a swimming pool and private boat dock.
The guest house is two stories and has an open living room facing the ocean.
Diddy bought the brand new mansion in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles for $40 million in 2014.
The two-story home also has a separate spa house with a steam room, massage room, and beauty salon, according to .
There is a massive theater that can hold 35 people, as well as a gym and wine room.
The grounds of the home cover over an acre of space and include a lagoon-style swimming pool with a grotto connected to an elusive underwater swimming tunnel.
Also on the grounds is a 3,000-square-foot guesthouse.
The home was designed and sold by mansion developer and seller, Nile Niami, who is known for his unique properties.
Diddy's villa also neighbors the infamous Playboy Mansion.
LAWSUITS AGAINST DIDDY
The raids come as Diddy has faced a slew of allegations in recent months.
After Cassie accused him of sex trafficking, Joi Dickerson alleged in a lawsuit that Diddy drugged and raped her and filmed the attack when she was a 19-year-old college student in January 1991.
Another woman filed a separate lawsuit claiming that Diddy and another man sexually assaulted her and a friend in 1990 or 1991 then showed up at an apartment several days later and beat her.
A third woman claimed that she was gang raped by three men including Diddy and Harve Pierre, president of Bad Boy Entertainment, in 2003.
She would have been 17 at the time, and Combs, 34.
Diddy has denied all allegations against him and addressed some of the accusations in a December 6, 2023, Instagram post.
"Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy," he wrote.
