Federal authorities searched two properties owned by music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in Los Angeles and Miami on Monday (March 25) as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation in New York, according to law enforcement officials who spoke anonymously to The Associated Press.
It’s unclear if Combs is the investigation’s target. Homeland Security Investigations stated they conducted law enforcement actions with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and local partners.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan declined to comment, and AP’s messages to Combs’ representatives for comment were not returned immediately.
In another wrinkle to this story, Diddy’s private jet, dubbed LoveAir LLC, was miles away in an entirely different country as his homes were being raided. According to TMZ, Diddy’s black Gulfstream 5 is in Antigua. Though, it is not known whether he was about the plane himself.
Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
