LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles residence of music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was raided by Homeland Security on Monday, as part of an ongoing federal sex trafficking investigation. The raid, which took place in the upscale Holmby Hills neighborhood, also extended to his Miami home located on the coast.

The federal agents were seen conducting an investigation at Combs' Los Angeles home, as captured by SkyFOX during their aerial coverage. The property was registered under Bad Boys Films, a division of Combs' company Bad Boy Entertainment, along with ownership by one of his daughters. During the raid, a few individuals were seen leaving the premises and subsequently detained.

Homeland Security expert, Hal Kempfer, explained during the breaking news coverage that there have been allegations of Combs drugging young women. It is likely that the agency is investigating the alleged crimes committed in multiple states. Agents would be searching for potential evidence such as laptops, flash drives, or any items that could connect Combs to the allegations. Kempfer also mentioned that obtaining a search warrant of this magnitude involves a lengthy process, including coordination with state and local attorneys.

Los Angeles Police Department investigators were present at the scene but declined to comment on the ongoing raid.

These recent developments come in the wake of previous allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs. Last year, R&B singer Cassie filed a lawsuit in a New York federal court, detailing disturbing allegations of abuse during their relationship spanning from 2005 to 2018. The lawsuit was settled the next day.

Shortly after, two more women came forward with separate lawsuits accusing Combs of sexual abuse. These lawsuits, filed in November 2023, were possible due to the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law providing victims of sexual abuse a one-year window to file civil action regardless of the statute of limitations. The allegations detailed acts of sexual assault, beatings, and forced drugging allegedly committed by Combs in the early 1990s when he was a talent director and party promoter in New York City's hip-hop scene.

In another lawsuit filed in February 2024, a male music producer accused Combs of repeated instances of unsolicited groping and sexual touching. The complaint also mentioned allegations of Combs appearing naked while the producer had to work in a bathroom.

Combs' lawyer, Shawn Holley, vehemently denied the allegations made in the lawsuits, calling them "pure fiction." Holley stated that they possess overwhelming evidence proving the claims to be false and asserted that appropriate legal action will be taken against those making the allegations.
