The latest chapter does not look good For Rap Mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. On Monday, Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by Homeland Security agents . Though the specifics for the raids remain unclear, they are both connected to a federal sex trafficking investigation.
The Department of Homeland Security released 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.’’
One raid happened in Combs’ extravagant Holmby Hills neighborhood in Los Angeles. The location is linked with Combs’ Bad Boy Films production company. Federal agents were also dispatched at a house in Miami associated with Combs.
Of course, it didn’t take long for social media users to respond with a few in particular imaginings of what the raid may have been like:
Another online personality, @lmakemyownsh*t, couldn’t wait to use a Denzel Washington clip to crack a joke about Combs allegedly not being home during the raid.
Evidence that agents could be looking for include computers, flash drives and other proof connecting Combs to his alleged crimes. The artist is facing four lawsuits accusing him of sexual abuse in the last few months—though he has denied every single one. One X user, @yamscasino, thinks the accused will surrender on his own terms:
Last year, Combs’ was sued by ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura—also known as Cassie—whom he dated from 2005 to 2018. She alleged years of violent beatings and sexual abuse, with the lawsuit being settled the next day. Another X user, @jrxdcruz, hopes this is the the end for Diddy:
Attorney Douglas Wigdor, who represents Cassie Ventura and an anonymous plaintiff referred to as Jane Doe, said Monday: “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.”
Another social user insisted that Katt Williams’ prediction of the truth in 2024 may be coming to light by asking: “Did Katt Williams Predict the Raid on Diddy Back in January? Are More Raids Coming?”
