Federal agents raided the residences of Sean “Diddy” Combs in Miami and Los Angeles amid a sex trafficking probe.
The Feds raided Diddy’s place on Monday afternoon, with Homeland Security leading the investigations, as confirmed by officials to Fox 11 Los Angeles on March 25.
TMZ first reported the raids, highlighting Homeland Security’s role in supporting local law enforcement. Aerial footage from Fox 11 displayed numerous agents in tactical gear at Diddy’s Beverly Hills home, though Diddy’s presence during the raids remains unconfirmed.
These events unfold against a backdrop of sexual assault allegations against Diddy. In November 2023, his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura accused him of rape and abuse in a lawsuit detailed by Us Weekly, covering their intermittent relationship from 2007 to 2018.
In her statement, Cassie expressed her readiness to share her story to shed light on the issue of relationship violence and abuse. Diddy’s team, however, denied Cassie’s allegations, deeming her lawsuit filled with “baseless and outrageous lies” and claiming she sought $30 million in hush money.
Following Cassie’s lawsuit, four additional accusers have alleged sexual assault by Diddy. The latest, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, sued Diddy on February 26 for sexual harassment, drugging, and threats, seeking $30 million in damages. Diddy’s representatives refuted Jones’ allegations as “complete lies” and announced plans to confront the claims legally.
