Diddy Stopped At Airport Following Raid
Sean “Diddy” Combs was reportedly stopped by federal authorities at a Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport airport following the raid of two of his homes in Los Angeles and Miami. Combs’ exact location is unknown, but his private jet was reportedly tracked online to Antigua. According to a new report from TMZ, the rapper’s jet has touched down in Antigua, but he wasn’t on the plane
The rapper’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami have been by Homeland Security on Monday (March 25), according to TMZ. The outlet reports that agents for Homeland Security raided each of the aforementioned properties.
The publication reported that law enforcement was “walking through the house with guns drawn, and there are people being questioned in the front of the house.” There was no indication that Diddy was home at the properties. According to FOX11, there were photos of individuals who were detained outside the homes. Their identities had not been determined. The exact reason behind the raid has not been announced, but reports speculate it is tied to the sex trafficking allegations.
“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,” a rep for Homeland Security told TMZ.
Diddy’s Legal Issues Amid House Raid
An exact reasoning behind the house raid has yet to be announced, but it has reportedly been tied to his alleged sex trafficking, sexual assault, and harassment charges that have been brought to light in recent months. Diddy has denied all wrongdoing at this time.
One incident was of Diddy allegedly being involved in a gang rape of a 17-year-old girl at the time. She claims the alleged incident happened in 2003 when she was in the 11th grade. Combs was 34 at the time. She claims she met up with Diddy and Harve Pierre, who was the president of Bad Boy Entertainment, inside Combs’ recording studio in Manhattan.
She claims that Pierre and an unnamed man met up with her in Detroit and then flew her to New York. Upon arriving at the studio, she was fed a “copious” amount of intoxicants where her coherency began to “blur,” the lawsuit alleges.
The lawsuit alleges that all three men raped the alleged victim that night in the bathroom of Combs’ studio. At one point, the lawsuit alleges that Combs watched her being raped from outside of the bathroom as he sat in a chair.
Diddy Speaks Out Amid Gang Rape Lawsuit
Diddy broke his silence, maintaining his innocence on the lawsuit shortly after news broke.
“Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” he said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
