With federal agents raiding P. Diddy’s homes in L.A. and Miami, people are left wondering what the rapper, or other members of his households, did to get the properties raided. Here are the latest reports on why Homeland Security Investigations raided Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ homes.
Why is P. Diddy being raided by Homeland Security Investigations?
The Los Angeles and Miami properties of Sean “Diddy” Combs were raided by the HSI as a part of an ongoing reported sex trafficking investigation.
On Monday, the American rapper’s luxury homes were raided by federal HSI agents along with other law enforcement due to an investigation that is currently being conducted by federal authorities in New York. This investigation is reportedly centered around sex trafficking, according to AP and Los Angeles Times sources.
Following the raid, an HSI rep said in a statement given to TMZ:
“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.”
A similar statement was reportedly provided to AP. However, the officials declined to discuss the details of the investigation. It isn’t known whether Combs was the target of the HSI raid.
TMZ shared images of Diddy’s two sons, Justin Combs and Christian “King” Combs, in handcuffs, which was followed by a video showcasing the aftermath of the raid conducted on Diddy’s L.A. mansion in Holmby Hills.
Has P. Diddy been arrested?
At the time of writing, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ arrest remains unconfirmed by authorities. His lawyer states that Combs was never detained.
Speaking about the two raids, Combs’ lawyer Aaron Dyer told TMZ:
“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.”
Dyer further added that Combs was never detained. He called the raids a “Witch Hunt” based on accusations that had no merit.
