- Diddy, 54, facing mounting sexual misconduct lawsuits
- Agents descended on his homes in Miami’s Star Island and in L.A.’s Holmby Hills
Homeland Security agents have descended on rapper Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
The rapper, who is facing mounting sexual harassment and rape lawsuits, was nowhere to be seen as agents combed through his properties on Monday afternoon.
It’s not clear yet whether Combs was the target of the investigation.
At least two men, believed to be the rapper’s sons, were put in handcuffs at his Holmby Hills property.

A spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations told DailyMail.com in a statement: ‘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.’
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Diddy for comment.
The outing comes just weeks after one of Diddy’s accusers in a sexual assault lawsuit was ordered to reveal her identity.
The rapper and music mogul has been fighting various legal battles, including one against an unnamed woman who claimed he and two friends sexually assaulted her when she was 17.

While the woman’s identity has yet to be revealed in the lawsuit, a judge just ruled she would no longer be able to stay anonymous if the suit proceeds.
Diddy has filed a motion to have the woman’s case thrown out, and she will reportedly remain anonymous until the judge rules on that motion.
The accuser was the fourth woman to accuse Diddy of sexual assault in quick succession last year after his ex, the singer Cassie, sued him in November 2023.
Douglas Wigdor, an attorney for Cassie and another one of the Jane Doe’s accusing Diddy, responded to the search in a statement to DailyMail.com
‘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.’
Diddy (real name: Sean Combs) has vehemently denied the accusations of each of the women and claimed they are ‘looking for a quick payday.’
After allegedly supplying the woman with ‘copious amounts of drugs and alcohol,’ Diddy and two pals are accused of taking turns violently raping the teen as she drifted in and out of consciousness, leaving her in so much pain that she could barely stand or remember how she got home, according to her complaint.

In harrowing detail, she described in her suit how Combs allegedly demanded that she pinch his nipples throughout the attack to help him ‘get off,’ before pulling up a chair to watch her being raped and choked by his associates.
She says she suffered in silence for 20 years until the R&B singer Cassie sued Combs, her former mentor and ex-boyfriend, for allegedly subjecting her to savage beatings, drug-addled hotel orgies and rape.
Combs denied the claims in that case and the two sides reached an out-of-court settlement barely 24 hours after the suit was made public in November 2023.
After the flurry of subsequent allegations, Diddy tweeted out a new statement under the heading ‘Enough is enough.’
