Federal Agents Raid Diddy's LA & Miami Properties in Sex Trafficking Probe
Federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security conducted simultaneous raids on Sean "Diddy" Combs's homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a reported sex trafficking investigation. Multiple individuals, including Diddy's sons Justin and King, were seen in handcuffs during the operations.
The raids coincide with ongoing legal challenges against Diddy, including a RICO complaint filed by producer Rodney Jones. The lawsuit, which remains active despite earlier reports of settlement, alleges Diddy operated a "widespread and dangerous criminal sex trafficking organization."

Two defendants have been dropped from Jones's lawsuit: former Motown CEO Ethiopia Habtemariam (dismissed with prejudice) and Chalice Recording Studios (dismissed without prejudice, with plans to refile in Los Angeles). The suit continues against Diddy, his son Justin, Universal Music Group head Lucian Grainge, and others.
The complaint alleges that executives, including Habtemariam and Grainge, attended parties where illegal drugs were present and sex workers were exploited. It further claims they provided financial support to help conceal alleged illegal activities from law enforcement.
According to Fox 11's coverage of the LA raid, at least three individuals have been taken into custody. The federal investigation is ongoing, with authorities yet to release detailed information about the nature of the raids or potential charges.
