A PAIR of homes linked to hip-hop mogul Diddy have reportedly been raided by federal agents.
Dramatic video showed the moment heavily armed Homeland Security officers raided a home in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon.
The estate in Holmby Hills is associated with Diddy’s Bad Boy Films production company, according to ABC News.
Homeland Security confirmed to TMZ that its agents searched homes in Los Angeles and Miami, which are believed to be owned by Diddy, real name Sean Combs.
Video obtained by Fox affiliate KTTV-TV showed several individuals in handcuffs and sitting on the lawn of the Holmby Hills mansion.
Additional video from Florida showed federal investigators arriving by boat at a home in Miami linked to Diddy.
The reason behind the searches is unclear, but sources told TMZ that the Southern District of New York is handling the case.
SEX TRAFFICKING ALLEGATIONS
Diddy is facing a spat of sex trafficking allegations after his former partner Casandra Ventura, better known by her stage name Cassie, accused the rap icon of sexually abusing and assaulting her.
Cassie had been romantically linked to Diddy for decades and was previously signed to his Bad Boy Records label.
In the suit, which was filed in Manhattan federal court in November 2023, Cassie claimed that not long after meeting Diddy in 2005, when she was 19, he began a pattern of control and abuse.

She claims that Diddy led her to “live a lifestyle of excessive alcohol and substance abuse.”
Cassie accused the Bad Boy for Life rapper of forcing her to have sex with several male prostitutes while he filmed the encounters.
Near the end of their relationship in 2018, Diddy allegedly forced his way into her home and sexually assaulted her.
Despite the shocking allegations, Cassie and Diddy settled the lawsuit a day after the filing.
