On Monday, Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes were raided by Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) agents as he was on his private jet being flown to an island in the Caribbean.
HSI and local law enforcement performed the raids in Miami, Florida, and New York City amid accusations of lacing the alcohol of underage girls, sexual assault, sex trafficking, rape, racketeering, forcing people into sex acts, and blowing up Kid Cudi’s car.
In November of 2023, Combs was sued by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who accused him of sexual abuse including numerous rapes, as well as physical abuse, and forcing her to have sex with a succession of male prostitutes.
One day after the lawsuit was filed by Cassie, she and Combs, 54, announced that they had agreed to a settlement.
Shortly thereafter, Combs was sued by another woman who accused him of drugging and sexually assaulting her and a third woman who claimed Diddy and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and one of her friends.
Speaking about the raid on Diddy’s homes on Monday, Cassie’s attorney Douglas Wigdor told Page Six, “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.”
Also on Monday, Aubrey O’Day, a former member of the Diddy-created singing group Danity Kane, wrote on Instagram about the raids, “What you sow, you shall reap. I pray this emboldens all of US victims to finally speak on what we have endured.”
O’Day had previously commented on Cassie’s lawsuit by writing on social media, “been trynna tell y’all for years.”
Meanwhile, never one to shy away from taking shots at Diddy, rapper 50 Cent also jumped on social media to comment, “S— just got real, the Fed’s [sic] in all the cribs, damn they got the kids in cuffs,” and adding a facepalm emoji.
In a second post, 50 Cent wrote, “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done, they don’t come like that unless they got a case.”
Diddy reportedly flew to Antigua while the raids were being conducted. TMZ obtained footage of Combs and crew on the tarmac at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on Monday where he and some other travelers with him were reportedly briefly stopped and questioned by federal officers.
