Federal Homeland Security Investigations agents, along with other law enforcement agencies, raided properties owned by music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in Los Angeles, Miami, and New York. The raids were part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation by federal authorities in New York.
Two properties belonging to Combs in Los Angeles and Miami were searched on Monday. While it’s unclear if Combs was the target of the investigation, the raids were conducted as part of an ongoing probe into sex trafficking, sexual assault, and related crimes.
Combs, known for his influence in the hip-hop industry, has faced multiple civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and sex trafficking. Last year, he settled a lawsuit from his former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, who accused him of physical and sexual abuse.
Combs has denied the allegations against him. Despite the ongoing investigation and lawsuits, his attorney has maintained Combs’ innocence, stating that he was not involved in any misconduct relating to the allegations.
The exact details of the investigation and the reasons behind the raids remain unclear. However, federal officials have interviewed individuals and are investigating allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and other criminal activities tied to Combs.
The raids come amidst a broader reckoning in the entertainment industry regarding allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse. While Combs is among the most influential figures in hip-hop, his legal troubles have drawn significant attention and scrutiny.
Authorities have not provided further details about the ongoing investigation, but the raids signal a significant development in the case against Combs and his involvement in the alleged crimes.
