Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Outrage to Diddy Sean Combs escape to Cape Verde over raid from DHS in viral footage.
The officials were not authorised to publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity.
Heavily armed Homeland Security agents swarmed Combs’ sprawling white mansion in the affluent neighbourhood of Holmby Hills in Los Angeles and a home located in Miami’s Star Island.
Local media reported law enforcement searching the LA mansion, with two helicopters flying overhead.
US authorities today raided multiple homes owned by Sean Combs, the rapper and mogul known as Diddy, as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation, sources said.
The two law enforcement officials who spoke to the Associated Press said the searches were connected to a sex trafficking investigation by federal authorities in New York.
It’s not clear whether Combs was the target of the investigation. In February, Combs was sued by former male employee Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones. He accused the hitmaker of sexual assault while working on his 2023 album The Love Album: Off the Grid.
The producer and videographer claimed the alleged abuse occurred repeatedly from September 2022 to November 2023, per TMZ.
“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,” a rep for Homeland Security Investigations told TMZ. “We will provide further information as it becomes available.”
Page Six has reached out to Combs’ reps for comment.
The raid comes amid various lawsuits recently filed against the Bad Boy Records founder, including allegations of assault and human trafficking, all of which Diddy has denied.
