The Diddy saga continues with sexual misconduct allegations against him leading to a U.S. Homeland Security raid at his homes.
The feds carried out a raid at the hip-hop mogul’s properties in L.A. and Miami on Monday.
A law enforcement official confirmed the searches were part of a sex-trafficking investigation, according to The Washington Post.
The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement and said, “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.”
In several videos posted online, armed law enforcement officers are seen entering his mansions and detaining people from inside the house.
The federal raids followed four months after his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie, who’s legal name is Cassandra Ventura, filed a lawsuit against him and accused the rapper of rape and sex trafficking.
Her representative issued a statement to Us Weekly, “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,” the rep added.
Since Cassie spoke out, multiple people have also filed a lawsuit accusing Diddy of sexual misconduct.
He previously posted on Instagram trying to shut down the rumours and called it a “quick payday,” for people.
TMZ obtained a video of Diddy after his homes were raided at a Miami airport. In the video he was seen walking.
Diddy’s representatives have not issued a statement since the raid made headlines.
