Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ LA and Miami homes ‘raided by federal law enforcement’

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes have reportedly been searched by the FBI.

Images and videos appear to show several individuals being handcuffed on Monday (March 25) with reports suggesting that cops shut down entire area. The raid is allegedly connected to a federal investigation regarding sex trafficking, according to FOX11.

A representative for Homeland Security Investigations told 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. We will provide further information as it becomes available.”

Law enforcement sources told the publication that the case is being handled out of the Southern District of New York. . TMZ report: “There are law enforcement walking through the house with guns drawn and there are people being questioned in the front of the house. We do not know if Diddy is present. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ his home on the East Coast is also being raided. We’re told the home is in Miami.”

Whether or not the rapper was present is currently unknown. Officers were seen with their guns drawn as they confronted those at the mansion. Earlier this year, Diddy was faced with a series of lawsuits pertaining to sexual assault allegations ahead of the expiration of the Adult Survivors Act, which granted a lift on the statue of limitations, allowing victims of assault to come forward that previously were unable to do so.

One lawsuit, filed by Joi Dickerson-Neal, claimed that he drugged her during a dinner in 1991. A representative for Diddy told The Mirror at the time: “This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head. Ms. Dickerson’s 32-year-old story is made up and not credible. Mr. Combs never assaulted her, and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more.”

Last year, Diddy and his ex-girlfriend Cassie, real name Cassandra Ventura, settled their lawsuit “amicably” after she claimed the rapper abused her for years starting when she was aged 19. The settlement was announced by Cassie’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, who said the deal was to both parties’ “mutual satisfaction” but did not disclose any terms.

Both Cassie and Diddy have since released statements saying the deal was “amicably” reached, with Diddy wishing “Cassie and her family all the best.” Model Cassie said, “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control. I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support.” Diddy similarly said, “We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.”
