Federal agents conduct raids on multiple properties owned by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

Federal agents conducted raids on multiple properties owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs in Miami and Los Angeles on Monday afternoon, March 25, 2024.

The raids were reportedly part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms.

While it remains unconfirmed whether Combs himself is the focus of the investigation, multiple sexual misconduct claims have been leveled against him in recent months.

According to NBC News, federal officials interviewed three women and a man in Manhattan, with three additional interviews scheduled. The raids were first reported by Fox 11 News.

Homeland Security Investigations confirmed the law enforcement actions, stating, “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.”

However, it was unclear at the time whether Combs’ New York properties were also raided.

Video footage shared by FOX11 showed several individuals in handcuffs outside the raided property, sparking speculation that Combs’ sons, Justin and King Combs, were among them, although this information was not confirmed.

Combs has faced a series of lawsuits stemming from sexual assault allegations, including accusations from R&B singer Cassie in November 2023.

Cassie filed a lawsuit alleging Combs had been combative and abusive throughout their relationship. The following day, the lawsuits were settled on amicable terms.

In December 2023, another lawsuit was filed, alleging that Combs had gang-raped a 17-year-old girl in 2003. The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, accused Combs of plying her with drugs and alcohol before raping her along with two associates, accusing Combs of involvement in a “sex trafficking scheme.”

Douglas Wigdor, a lawyer representing Cassie and Jane Doe, responded to reports of the search warrants, stating, “We will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.”
