Feds Raid Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Mansions In Sex Trafficking Case: Report

LOS ANGELES, CA — Federal law enforcement officers raided three homes owned by or connected to rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs Monday as part of a coast-to-coast sex-trafficking investigation, TMZ reported.

The raids occurred at homes owned by Combs or companies connected to him in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, New York and Miami. Aerial video from one of the properties showed several people in handcuffs, including two who appear to be Combs' sons, Justin and King Combs, TMZ reported.

"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," a Homeland Security spokesperson told TMZ.

In LA, a large portion of the neighborhood off Sunset Boulevard was shut down with a large police presence and helicopters circling above, TMZ reported.

The LA home, on the 2000 block of Mapleton Drive in the Holmby Hills, is registered to Bad Boys Films, which is a division of Bad Boy Entertainment, along with Combs' daughters, Fox 11 reported. Combs founded Bad Boy as a record label in 1993.

In Miami, video shows federal agents rolling up to Combs' waterfront home via boat, TMZ reported.

Four separate people filed civil lawsuits against Combs at the end of 2023, accusing him of rape, sex-trafficking a minor, assault and other abuses, the LA Times reported.

Among them is R&B artist Casandra Ventura, better known as Cassie, who alleged the music mogul abused her during their decade-plus relationship. The pair settled out of court the next day, Fox 11 reported.

Joi Dickerson-Neal accused Combs of drugging and raping her in 1991, recording the attack and then distributing the footage without her consent, the Times reported.

Liza Gardner's suit claims Combs and Aaron Hall, of the group Guy, sexually assaulted her, the Times reported.

And a fourth suit alleged that Combs and former Bad Boy label president Harve Pierre gang-raped and sex-trafficked a 17-year-old girl, according to the Times.

Pierre has denied the allegations. Combs denied the allegations in an Instagram post last year.

“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. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth," he wrote.

Kirk Burrowes, who co-founded Bad Boy with Combs in 1992 and served as its president until Combs fired him in 1997, told the Times that Combs had violent tendencies.

“He had that propensity for violence way back then,” Burrowes said. “It just wasn’t as well known. It’s almost like it was part of his operating manual. He was so traumatizing to women.”

In February, Combs was sued by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones for $30 million for sexual assault, alleging he was subjected to sexual misconduct during the production of Combs' "The Love Album," Rolling Stone reported.
