Federal Agents Raid Diddy’s Homes Amid Ongoing Sex Trafficking Investigation
Reports have emerged detailing federal law enforcement agents’ raids on Diddy’s residences in Los Angeles and Miami on Monday. The raids are said to be part of a broader investigation into the multiple sex trafficking allegations leveled against the music mogul in recent months. According to TMZ, citing a police source, the case is centered in the Southern District of New York. Aerial footage captured by FOX 11, now circulating on social media, shows Diddy’s sons Justin and King Combs in handcuffs, although it remains unclear whether Diddy himself was present during the raids.
In a statement provided to TMZ, a representative from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York disclosed, “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.”
Diddy, known for his success in the music industry and various business ventures, has not yet commented on the situation. However, he has vehemently denied the allegations against him on multiple occasions in the past. In a December Instagram post, he adamantly proclaimed, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH… I DID NOT DO ANY OF THE AWFUL THINGS BEING ALLEGED. I WILL FIGHT FOR MY NAME, MY FAMILY AND FOR THE TRUTH. SEAN DIDDY COMBS.”
The police raid comes amidst mounting legal challenges for Diddy, with former associates such as producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones joining the fray with accusations of sexual misconduct. Additionally, a woman has accused Diddy of gang-raping her in a New York City recording studio two decades ago when she was just 17 years old. As the investigation unfolds, the music mogul’s legal battles show no signs of abating.
