Homeland Security agents raids targeted multiple homes owned by hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs on Monday, March 25. Several news outlets have reported that the searches are part of a sex-trafficking investigation.
Armed Homeland Security agents conducted raids at homes in Los Angeles and Miami. Video from Fox 11 in Los Angeles captured armed officers entering a home in the Holmby Hills area, linked to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, according to a law enforcement official. Public records confirm the home is owned by Combs’ company.
Three separate lawsuits filed in recent months have accused the rapper of sex trafficking, allegations he has previously denied. In November Combs said, “I did not do any of the awful things being alleged.”
Douglas Wigdor, a lawyer for two woman who have sued Combs, stated on Monday, “Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.”
Several outlets also reported seeing individuals in handcuffs outside his California property, but there was no sign of Combs himself. Combs has yet to comment on the raids.
