Yes, The Feds Raided P Diddy’s Homes
As we last reported, reports of federal agents raiding homes connected to Diddy in Los Angeles and Miami are accurate.

According to ABC News, a Homeland Security Investigations spokesperson stated the raid was part of an “ongoing investigation.” Two law enforcement sources told the Associated Press that the raids are connected to sex trafficking allegations rooted in New York. However, those details remain under wraps.
“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 spokesperson’s statement said, per TMZ.
Law enforcement presence was heavy across the three bi-coastal properties, particularly in Los Angeles. TMZ reports that agents entered the properties with “guns drawn.” In L.A., the raid reportedly included two helicopters swarming the home and the area in addition to the agents on the ground.

On Tuesday, multiple outlets, including ABC News, reported that agents seized electronic devices tied to Diddy from the raided homes in Los Angeles and Miami. However, the amount and types of devices as well as the content on them remain unclear.
Here’s What Happened With Christian Combs & Justin Combs
At this time, no criminal charges against Diddy are on record. The same goes for his two sons, Justin Combs and Christian Combs.
Authorities detained Diddy’s sons Justin and Christian while raiding the Los Angeles home. But ABC News reports that the detainment was “customary in such circumstances.” Ultimately, federal agents released Justin Combs and Christian Combs without charges.
At this time, P Diddy has not released a statement about the multi-home raids. However, TMZ obtained footage that reportedly shows Sean Combs at the Miami Opa Locka Executive Airport. This sighting reportedly happened a few hours after the raids at about 6 p.m. ET.
The video shows P Diddy pacing outside of a customs office. However, he does not appear detained or in custody, despite eyewitnesses claiming that the feds stopped him and his entourage.
Despite online rumors of Diddy being on the run, the video seems to indicate the opposite.

According to Newsweek, celebrity private flight tracker Jack Sweeney tracked Diddy’s private plane (N1969C) to the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Barbuda.
PEOPLE reports that the private plane departed from Sacramento on Sunday, March 24, landed in Palm Springs, then took off for the Los Angeles airport. It reportedly left the Los Angeles airport and landed in Antigua on Monday (March 26) morning.
However, there is no indication or proof that Diddy was aboard, given his sighting in Miami yesterday afternoon. In fact, Jack’s X post claims that “sources confirmed the rapper was not on board.”

Elsewhere online, rumors floated overnight of Diddy boarding a flight to Cape Verde, but there are no credible reports to support these talks.

Cassie's Lawyer Reacts To Feds Raiding Diddy's Homes
Meanwhile, Cassie Ventura’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, released a statement amid the feds raiding homes connected to Diddy.
Rolling Stone reporter Nancy Dillion first reported the statement.
“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.”
What “depraved conduct” is the lawyer alleging? Back in November, Cassie shook the entertainment world when she filed a bombshell, descriptive lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend P Diddy, accusing him of sexual assault, abuse, and trafficking.
Diddy — as explained by Cassie in the lawsuit — did the following:
“Raped Ms. Ventura in her own home after she tried to leave him. Often punched, beat, kicked, and stomped on Ms. Ventura, resulting in bruises, burst lips, black eyes, and bleeding. Blew up a man’s car after he learned that he was romantically interested in Ms. Ventura. Forced Ms. Ventura to engage in sex acts with male sex workers while masturbating and filming the encounters. Ran out of his apartment with a firearm in pursuit of a rival industry executive whom he learned was nearby. Demanded that Ms. Ventura to carry his firearm in her purse just to make her uncomfortable and demonstrate how dangerous he is. Introduced Ms. Ventura to a lifestyle of excessive alcohol and substance abuse and required her to procure illicit prescriptions to satisfy his own addictions.”
One day after filing the lawsuit, Cassie and Diddy settled for an undisclosed amount and terms. At the time, the ‘Official Girl’ singer said she had “decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms” that allowed her “some level of control.”
However, since then, multiple women and a former male employee have come forward, accusing the music mogul of similar allegations of sexual assault and abuse.

Yung Miami Responds As Folks Online Repeatedly Tap Her
Diddy and Yung Miami had the innanet hooked on their lil’ on-and-off-again romance between 2022 and 2023. So, naturally, folks online have been tapping the rapper for input amid the federal raid on his homes.
When someone asked, “Where Caresha at? [side eye emoticon] on X (formerly Twitter,” she wasted no time responding, she wrote, “Right here what’s up [side eye emoticon].”
To backtrack, in April 2023, Miami had refused to label their openly dating “situation,” which included lavish car gifts, European yacht vacations, birthday celebrations, support for each other’s music, and other projects.
Even after Diddy welcomed a daughter with another woman, Miami seemed to stick beside him, letting the innanet know she knew about the child before we did!
But following Cassie’s lawsuit, the City Girls rapper seemed to be distancing herself from her bae in the public eye. She reportedly hosted a Friendsgiving with him nowhere in sight. Then, reports surfaced that scenes involving P Diddy had been cut from her forthcoming reality show.
The status of their friendship at this point remains unclear.
