The Los Angeles and Miami homes of American rapper, Sean “Diddy” Combs were raided by America’s federal agents on Monday, according to reports.
The raid is part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation, U.S. officials confirmed Monday.
“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,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
The rapper was nowhere to be seen as agents combed through his properties on Monday afternoon. However, two men believed to be the rapper’s sons were put in handcuffs at his Holmby Hills property.

Diddy faced multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault in the last quarter of 2024, including one by an unnamed woman who claimed Diddy and two of his friends sexually assaulted her when she was 17.
The unnamed woman was the fourth woman to accuse Diddy of sexual assault last year after his ex, Cassie, claimed she was trafficked, raped, and viciously beaten by Diddy on many occasions in November 2023. Combs denied the claims after the suit was made public.
P. Diddy is the founder of hip-hop’s biggest empire, Bad Boy Records. He is a three-time Grammy winner who has worked with top-tier artists including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, Lil Kim, Faith Evans, Nas and Jay-Z.
