Diddy was reportedly stopped by federal authorities at an airport in Miami just hours after Homeland Security raided two of his homes across the United States.
The embattled Bad Boy Records founder’s whereabouts are currently unknown, although his private jet was tracked online to the Caribbean island of Antigua.
Shortly after federal agents raided his properties in Los Angeles and Miami, Diddy (real name Sean Combs) was spotted by TMZ pacing outside of Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on Monday afternoon (March 26).
According to their sources, Puffy was outside a customs office and was waiting to be joined by other people, who were apparently also being questioned by federal officials.
Information is still murky but TMZ claim Diddy boarded a separate private jet when Homeland Security arrived, but he is not thought to be currently under arrest or on the run.
Properties owned by Diddy were raided yesterday by Homeland Security as part of an ongoing investigation into the music mogul, who has been accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking, among other things.
Homeland Security confirmed the raids in a statement.
“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,” they said.
Footage from a helicopter above the scene of the raids revealed several people in handcuffs, including Diddy’s sons Justin and Christian Combs.
It was also reported by NBC News that several people have been interviewed by federal officials as part of the probe into Diddy.
While their identities have not been revealed, it is believed three women and one man were questioned. A further three subjects are due to be interviewed.
Diddy has yet to comment on the raids or the investigation.
The 54-year-old has, however, strongly denied all accusations relating to rape, sexual assault and sex trafficking.
Five lawsuits have been filed against Diddy in recent months accusing him of a variety of sex crimes.
The mogul settled the first suit which was filed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie last November though he denied any wrongdoing.
The most recent lawsuit came from producer Lil Rod who accused Diddy of being involved in sex trafficking, a shooting, soliciting minors for sex and distributing guns and drugs.
The Bad Boy boss vehemently denied the accusations in a statement through his attorney Shawn Holley.
“Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday,” Holley told HipHopDX.
“His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”
Diddy done did some devilish deeds, he must pay.
Crazy how all of Pacs enemies are going down… JAY Z should watch out
Pacs enemies? No, it’s just bad people going down. Was Suge Knight an enemy of Pac? At least not in Pacs eyes he wasn’t. And it appears Suge didn’t set him up either. But JayZ is so self rightcheous that he more than likely is truly a horrible person who puts on a mask for the world.
His private jet is heading to a country that has no extradition agreement with United States. He’s running scared.. he must know he is in trouble. He’s fuckin fleeing the country as we speak. This is not how a innocent man behaves. Diddy done did something dirty for real.
Diddy likes getting probed to this doesn’t bother him. He likes that type of stuff since the attention is on him.
He’s done.
these guys were very certain on their so called “white allies” and sold out the culture. Now that music is worthless they have lost any usefulness they once had. In the old days they needed a Puffy to find talent. Now that everyone conspired that talent is completely optional – guess what? No need for puffys anymore.
those allies are not white, they are small hats.
Yep. Hit the nail on the head. These are the people who gave our culture away to the white corporations as usual. They actually made it to those rooms and should have been protecting it, but as long as they got paid, they didn’t give a flying fuck, and in return, they protected them while they did these devious acts behind closed doors. Another black American tragedy. No different from rock and roll 70 years ago.
If I had wings I would flyyyyyyyy 🛩 let me contemplate
They gonna R Kelly him
Just wanted to comment on how stupid my name is. “Lil Rod” lmaooooooooooo
