Two houses of Sean “Diddy” Combs were raided by Homeland Security on March 25, 2024.
Seemingly hundreds of law enforcement agents were present at both homes, with officers arriving via car, boat, and helicopter. It’s currently unconfirmed why this occurred, however there is one clue that may expose what’s going on.
The raids were conducted at Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami, but they were done in conjunction with Homeland Security New York. Diddy has previously had many issues with the State of New York.
In November of 2023, singer Cassie filed a civil lawsuit against Diddy in the State of New York and made claims of human trafficking.
There Is Allegedly a Criminal Investigation Against Diddy
The civil lawsuit was settled just one day later, but it now seems as though it might have spurred a criminal investigation into the claims of human trafficking made by Cassie.
According to an anonymous source for Rolling Stone, four “Jane Does” and one “John Doe” have done interviews with the State of New York regarding an alleged sex trafficking and RICO case against Diddy, and more interviews have been scheduled.
Since Cassie’s civil lawsuit, many other people have sued him with similar allegations, including a woman named Liza Gardner, who claimed that Diddy assaulted her as a teenager, and a producer named Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who made multiple claims of SA, amongst other crimes, against Diddy.
Diddy has denied every claim made against him. After the multiple lawsuits were filed against him, he released a statement, saying:
“Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth.”
Diddy Wasn’t Present During the Raids
It doesn’t appear as though Diddy was present at either of his homes during the raids, however, many people who were at the houses were seen in handcuffs, including two of Diddy’s sons, Justin and Christian “King” Combs.
Diddy is the father of seven children, four of which were with his late ex, Kim Porter. It’s unclear where his other children were at the time of the raid, or if they were similarly detained.

In videos from the Los Angeles raid, dozens of law enforcement agents can be seen with their weapons drawn, and numerous people were put in handcuffs.
Cassie’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, made a statement on behalf of Cassie and another client, an anonymous “Jane Doe” who he is also representing against Diddy, saying:
“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.”
At this time, no arrests have been made, as this is an ongoing investigation.
