Rapper Diddy Has Homes In LA, Miami Raided By Homeland Security

Rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs had his residences in Los Angeles and Miami raided as part of a Homeland Security investigation into possible human trafficking, according to reports.

Helicopters and agents surrounded Diddy's Los Angeles home Monday afternoon. The Southern District of New York federal court in Manhattan issued warrants to search the rapper's home. 

Shocking footage outside of Diddy's home in Holmby Hills (Los Angeles) on Monday showed HSI agents entering the rapper's residence. The rapper's sons, King and Justin, were spotted in handcuffs, leaving his L.A. residence.

According to multiple reports, Diddy was not present in the residence at the time of the raid, and his whereabouts weren't immediately known. 

A report by TMZ noted that Diddy’s private LoveAir LLC jet had been tracked en route to a Caribbean island, with no confirmation regarding Diddy's presence on the jet.

WATCH:

Diddy was the target of several lawsuits claiming sexual abuse, one of them by his former partner and R&B artist, Cassie. As part of New York's Adult Survivors Act legislation in 2023, Diddy's accusers came forward with shocking allegations of women being sexually assaulted after the rapper drugged them.

The HSI unit released a statement on Monday, zeroing in on Diddy's potential crimes.

"Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations 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," the statement read.
