Sean “Diddy” Combs, a prominent hip-hop mogul, saw federal officials raid his homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of an investigation into sex trafficking and sexual assault.
The raids come in the wake of numerous lawsuits filed against Combs, accusing him of sexual misconduct and assault, as well as other alleged crimes.
Extraordinary videos of the raids have emerged online, some showing members of Diddy’s entourage being led out at gunpoint. Several law enforcement officers were seen carrying bags and boxes of evidence into a van.
The allegations against Combs that gave rise to the raids are shocking.
Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura, filed a lawsuit against him in November 2023, accusing him of sex trafficking and sexual assault. They reached a settlement just 24 hours after the lawsuit was made public.
Another lawsuit was filed in December by a Canadian woman identified only as Jane Doe, who claims she was sex trafficked and gang raped in 2003, when she was 17 and in eighth grade.

Sean Combs endorsed Joe Biden
During the 2020 presidential election, Sean “Diddy” Combs endorsed Joe Biden for president of the United States. Why?
Because Donald Trump is evil. And Biden represents love.
“White men like Trump must be banned,” he told popular podcaster Charlamagne Tha God at the time. “This way of thinking is really dangerous. This man literally threatened our lives and our families by asking us to go and vote.”
Combs continued to racially incite and insisted that the election was a war between love and hate.
“We’re in a war, we’re not going to take this as if it’s a war, we’re going to take it as if it’s a presidential election. We are in a war of love versus hate,” she said.
“The number one priority is to get Trump out of office. The tribe of people who are responsible and should really be scared to death of this man are white people.”

“Our Black Party”
Sean “Diddy” Combs also created his own political organization that year. He has been nicknamed “Our Black Party”.
“Trump has gone too far. As people of color, we are not even a topic of real discussion,” Combs falsely claimed. “We can no longer bear to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results. This is madness! It’s time to unite.”
He also wasn’t a fan of the Obama presidency.
“My main thing, to be honest, is black people: I feel like we put President Obama in the White House. When I look back, I just wanted to do more for my people, because that’s the name of the game,” he said.
Combs said the black community was “a little shortchanged” under Obama.
Before the raids on his homes, Combs had denied any wrongdoing. In a post last year he said “Enough is enough” regarding the multiple allegations.
“Let me be absolutely clear: I have not done any of the horrible things that are attributed to me,” he insisted. “I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
The investigation into Sean “Diddy” Combs is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how these allegations will affect his personal and professional life.
