Diddy’s Miami mansion on Star Island in Miami Beach became the center of attention on Tuesday, following a federal raid conducted by law enforcement officials as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation. Throughout the day, dark-colored SUVs were observed entering and leaving the property. Notably, Diddy himself was not seen leaving the premises, having been intercepted by authorities at a Miami airport while attempting to board a private jet bound for the Caribbean.
In addition to the raid in Miami, federal authorities also conducted a search at Diddy’s Los Angeles home on Monday. Simultaneously, Miami police, collaborating with federal agencies, arrested one of Diddy’s employees on charges of possessing cocaine and marijuana.
A former employee of Jennifer Lopez, who had a romantic relationship with Diddy from 1999 to 2001, shared insights into his demanding and demeaning behavior. According to the employee, Diddy often exerted control over Lopez’s entire team, treating them as if they worked for him. The employee further revealed that Diddy made women uncomfortable, dividing them into two categories: those he found “f—kable” and those he did not. With the former, he exhibited creepy behavior, while with the latter, he displayed disrespect and treated them as if they were there to serve him.
Pictures from Monday’s raids depicted federal agents leaving the premises with bags of evidence, including hard drives and electronic equipment. Several individuals have previously filed civil suits against Diddy, accusing him of sexual abuse. Diddy has vehemently denied all charges through social media and his legal representatives, who have labeled the raids as a “witch hunt” and dismissed one of the lawsuits as a mere money grab.
Although Diddy has not been arrested or charged, he has cooperated with authorities and spoken to them. His lawyer confirmed that his travel has not been restricted in any way. However, the raid has disrupted Diddy’s professional life, causing a halt in productivity at his companies. Despite management’s assurances of business as usual, approximately half of the employees at Combs Global did not report to work on Tuesday, with some even updating their LinkedIn profiles to indicate they are seeking new employment.
