Federal authorities conducted raids on the homes of hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in Los Angeles and Miami, deploying helicopters and a significant law enforcement presence, as seen in news footage.
TMZ reported that the raids took place on Monday as part of a sex trafficking investigation, with local law enforcement, led by Homeland Security, executing warrants issued by Manhattan federal court (Southern District of New York).
During a live news segment on Fox 11, it appeared that Diddy’s sons, King and Justin Combs, were handcuffed at his Los Angeles residence.

According to Rolling Stone, one John Doe and four Jane Does have spoken to authorities in the Southern District of New York, alleging domestic violence, racketeering, and sex trafficking against Diddy.
Attorney Doug Wigdor, representing Cassie Ventura and another accuser of Diddy, released a statement expressing support for law enforcement’s efforts to hold Diddy accountable for his alleged misconduct.
In February, Diddy faced a lawsuit from Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, accusing him of sexual harassment, drugging, and threats. Lil Rod named Diddy’s son Justin, along with other defendants, including Yung Miami, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Stevie J. In an update this week, Lil Rod’s lawyer alleged that Diddy had sent agents to harass his family members.
