If you think you’re having a bad day, it couldn’t have been worse than Diddy’s.
Earlier today (March 25), the former Revolt chairman’s Miami and Los Angeles homes were reportedly raided by Homeland Security. According to Fox’s Los Angeles affiliate, government officials swarmed the properties reportedly in connection to the mogul’s ongoing sex trafficking allegations. In the outlet’s report and on-the-ground footage, it was revealed that several people were obtained onsite.
However, it is unclear if Diddy himself was one of those people. So, the public’s interest in his were about skyrocketed. Thus TMZ dug into it further and its claims to have tracked down his private jet. According to TMZ, Diddy’s plane is supposedly grounded in the Caribbean country of Antigua.
The platform lists Diddy’s recent flight activity as such: Diddy’s LoveAir LLC jet took off from Sacramento Executive Airport Sunday (March 24) evening. The same night around 6:30 p.m. it landed at Palm Springs Int’l Airport. It allegedly made another short trip Van Nuys Airport the same night. By 9 a.m. PT today, the jet had departed for Antigua where it reportedly still stand.
TMZ followed up their initial exclusive report with a video claiming Diddy was spotted at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport around 3 p.m. PT. No further updates have been shared to the public.
Things have gone from bad to worse for Diddy recently. After dealing with months of lawsuits alleging sexual assaults and a variety of bad behavior, shocking news broke today. His homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by the federal government earlier today. There’s still a lot of details that aren’t known like where the rap mogul himself is currently living or is he was present for either raid. But fans online were also curious on the whereabouts of another person, Yung Miami.
Miami and Diddy have been dating since last year but she’s been very quiet on all of the allegations leveled against him. He was even edited out of a reality TV show about the City Girls rapper earlier this year. In her newest update to fans she’s once again keeping it brief. After a fan on Twitter asked where she was at, she responded “Right here what’s up?” That sparked a myriad replies from fans trying to get some more thoughts on the situation from her. But as you’d expect she’s kept things pretty close to the chest. Check out her newest tweet referencing the situation below.
Diddy popped up earlier this month backstage at another controversial rapper’s event. Kanye West brought his “Vultures” experience with Ty Dolla $ign to Rolling Loud Los Angeles. It was a celebrity-packed event and Diddy was backstage with his daughters. While the raids currently being executed against his homes have to do with sex trafficking allegations, there are also at least two still outstanding lawsuits against him.
One of which is producer Lil Rod’s where some of the most viral claims of the mogul having sexual interactions with fellow male musicians have emerged. Another is the even bulkier $30 million lawsuit brought by Rodney Jones. What do you think of Yung Miami responding to a fan on Twitter while two of Diddy’s homes were being raided by the feds? Do you think she should be speaking up more amid some of the allegations against her boyfriend? Let us know in the comment section below.
Drone video that has made its rounds online appear to show Diddy’s sons Christian and Justin in handcuffs out front of the lavish Holmby Hills address amid the simultaneous raids on Diddy’s homes by Homeland Security for the alleged sex trafficking charge.
Law enforcement could be seen walking through his property on Monday with guns drawn as several people were spotted on the lawn, including Diddy’s sons; 30-year-old Justin Combs and 25-year-old Christian “King” Combs.
Over 30 law enforcement vehicles could be seen from the aerial view, with heavily armed agents on the ground and a helicopter, which could be heard overhead.

TheSource.com will update this story as details develop.
Diddy’s Los Angeles mansion was reportedly raided by Homeland Security today in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation. According to Fox’s Los Angeles affiliate, federal agents not only raided the house — which is registered to Bad Boy Films and one of Diddy’s daughters — but also detained several people.
The embattled music impresario has been under severe scrutiny since November of 2023, when his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against him for sexual assault and abuse. Although the suit was settled the next day, within a week, two more women had filed simliar lawsuits, offering their own stories of mistreatment at the hands of the Bad Boy Entertainment founder.
Early this year, yet another lawsuit was filed, this time by music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who said that while living and working with Diddy during the recording of his most recent album, the mogul had engaged in a plethora of questionable behaviors, and even participated in a shooting at a Los Angeles studio attributed to an attempted robbery.
Federal authorities, specifically Homeland Security, have raided Diddy’s Beverley Hills home. Local law enforcement is present, but Homeland Security is believed to be leading the raid.
According to TMZ, helicopters hover over Diddy’s home, and people are being questioned. Law enforcement is walking through the house with guns drawn.
At the same time, Diddy’s home in Miami is also being raided. It is currently unknown if Diddy was present at either home at the time of entry.

Earlier this month, a federal judge ruled a woman who accused Diddy of sex trafficking and gang rape must identify herself.
According to Billboard, Judge G.L. Clarke stated the woman had failed to prove that she could proceed with the case anonymously. Clarke also acknowledged identifying “could have a significant impact” on the woman.
“While the court does not take plaintiff’s concerns lightly, the Court cannot rely on generalized, uncorroborated claims that disclosure would harm plaintiff to justify her anonymity,” Judge Jessica G. L. Clarke wrote.
The accuser’s identity will be revealed after Diddy’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit is heard.
Diddy is looking to bring in some help in battling his rape lawsuit. Legal journalist Meghann Cuniff reports Diddy has brought in Ghislaine Maxwel”s attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, for representation.
Sternheim once was the president of the New York Women’s Bar Association and also defended Osama Bin Laden’s aide, Khaled al-Fawwaz, in the bombings of two U.S. embassies.
Diddy’s lawsuit was filed in 2023, stating he and Harve Pierre orchestrated “a sex trafficking scheme that involved plying [Jane Doe] with alcohol and transporting her by private jet to New York City where she was gang-raped.”
Diddy has hired Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyer to defend him in the federal lawsuit from a woman who says he raped her in 2003 when she was 17.

Harve Pierre, former president of Bad Boy Records, was also sued for grooming and sexually assaulting his assistant. The lawsuit states Pierre’s allegations by his assistant occurred “on multiple occasions in New York City and other locations throughout the country” and “used his position of authority as plaintiff’s boss to groom, exploit, and sexually assault her.”
The assistant now seeks damages that will “fully and fairly compensate” for the assault. Bad Boy Entertainment, Bad Boy Records, and Combs Enterprises are listed in the suit.
“We have recently become aware of a lawsuit filed in New York by a former employee,” a spokesperson for Bad Boy Records said to Rolling Stone. “The allegations are from many years ago that were never brought to the attention of the company. Neither the plaintiff nor the executive are current employees of the company. We are now investigating the allegations, and our top priority is the safety and well-being of our employees.”
The development came less than a week after Diddy settled a lawsuit with Cassie over accusations that included domestic violence and rape. According to TMZ, the suit was ended in New York on Monday. The doc reads, “Pursuant to an agreement between the parties, Plaintiff hereby dismisses this action, with prejudice and without costs or fees to either party.”
“I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,” Cassie said after the settlement. “I want to thank my family, fans, and lawyers for their unwavering support.”
On this day in Hip-Hop history, Notorious B.I.G. released his second album, Life After Death. The double LP was released posthumously by Bad Boy Records. Biggie, who was killed two weeks prior to its release, was nominated for three Grammy’s for this project: Best Rap Album, Best Rap Solo Performance for “Hypnotize” and Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “Mo Money Mo Problems.”
Featuring artists like 112, Jay-Z, Lil’ Kim, Ma$e, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Too $hort and R. Kelly, along with tracks like “Kick In The Door,” “What’s Beef,” “Notorious Thugs,” “Ten Crack Commandments” and “Sky’s The Limit,” it can be said that Life After Death is one of the greatest rap albums of all time. The album hit #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and the US Top R&B/Hip Hop chart. It went diamond (that’s 10,000,000 copies sold) in the United States alone, double platinum in Canada, and platinum in the UK. Life After Death has also made appearances on top music charts across the globe. The album has been ranked by countless publications as one of the top rap and Hip-Hop albums of all time (The Source ranked it as #8 in 2005).
Salute to Diddy and the rest of the Bad Bot family for this timeless piece of Hip Hop history!
Shortly after, he made his widely embraced comeback in 2004 with the track “Welcome Back.” However, his passion for the game had dwindled. In the years following a nasty feud with his former label head, Diddy was all the public could talk about. On Friday, March 22, during a recent episode of his co-hosted podcast, It Is What It Is, he claimed his retirement from rap was ultimately to “escape” Diddy.
“Everything, now, that we see playing out was all the things that I escaped,” he said, seemly referring to the mountain of allegations Diddy is facing. “The car. The Shyne. The Loon. Puff Daddy. Craig Mack. Biggie Smalls. So, even though I made those decisions and it cost me money, that’s why [when] I got with [Cam’Ron], [God] gave me the money back. I didn’t [really] lose no money. Destiny.”
What started as a conversation about the start of Kobe (R.I.P.) and Vanessa Bryant’s relationship, life, and destiny led Mase to think about his past.
Watch the full episode above (however, the remarks start around the 1-minute and 4-second mark).
We are getting a glimpse into Diddy’s now low-key life. The Bad Boy Records mogul appeared on his daughter’s Instagram account, enjoying parent time with his baby girl.
Diddy can be seen pushing Love Sean Combs in a swing. The caption reads, “Baby Gym with my Dad [red heart emoji].”
In related news, Ja Rule spoke with Piers Morgan about not being admitted to Britain for a set of shows. But his comments about Diddy are grabbing the culture’s attention.
During the conversation with Morgan, Ja Rule says Diddy is “another Black man in the industry going through unfortunate circumstances” and “I wish him luck with everything he is going through.”
Ja would then direct his attention to the victims and offer them wishes.
Morgan asked Rule if this was a sign of a moment of reckoning in the rap industry. Rule stated he didn’t know, deeming the entire situation unfortunate.
Just because many prominent figures in the entertainment industry have turned their back on Diddy doesn’t mean he’s ready to retreat and admit defeat. Now that his work schedule is decidedly less booked and busy the New York native has been pouring time and energy into his family and supporting friends who’ve stuck by his side through this troubling time. One of the biggest blessings Diddy still has to smile about every day is his youngest, baby Love Sean Combs.
The little girl’s arrival came as a surprise to the world at the peak of the Bad Boy mogul’s fling with Yung Miami. Love’s mom is Dana Tran, a cyber security specialist who continues to keep her personal life mostly out of the spotlight since introducing her daughter to the world. While she and Diddy don’t seem to be romantic partners, he is an incredibly active co-parent and loves to show the young girl’s growth and adventures on social media. Earlier this month, her personal account lit up with a heartwarming video from a playdate at the baby gym with her daddy.
The cute video is soundtracked by Bobby Caldwell’s “What You Won’t Do for Love” and shows Combs pushing his smiling daughter in a tiny swing and holding her hand as she confidently crosses over a balance beam. The comment section is full of uplifting messages for the “Moments” artist, commending him on continuing to be a stand-up father in times of struggle.
As for his elder children, Diddy’s been spending time bonding with them too. While attending Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s VULTURES event at Rolling Loud, the “I’ll Be Missing You” artist posed for photos with his twins and their sister. The girls were looking fly to watch Nicki Minaj give her headlining performance, which even included “Starships.” Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.
Over the last few months, Diddy has been hit with lawsuit after lawsuit, packed with multiple allegations. When Cassie accused the mogul of sexual assault in November 2023, the news was all over the internet. It was settled quickly, barely a day after it was filed. However, Diddy has not gotten respite since then as he has had other allegations and lawsuits to worry about.
Arguably the biggest right now, as well as the most recent, is the $30 million lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones. The producer worked closely with Diddy for a while and was heavily involved in creating The Love Album (2023). NBC News reported that Jones’ lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on February 26, 2024. Reportedly 73 pages long, the document details several allegations mounted against Diddy. More importantly, the case is far from settled, which means Diddy may head to court. Here’s a breakdown of the wildest allegations in the lawsuit.

As aforementioned, Rodney Jones worked closely with Diddy throughout the making of The Love Album. According to the lawsuit, the producer lived and traveled with Diddy for long periods from September 2022 to November 2023. During this time, Jones allegedly witnessed multiple acts of misconduct, and “serious illegal activity” from the record executive. Among the most prominent is that Diddy allegedly had underage girls over at his parties. The lawsuit reportedly contains alleged screenshots showing underage girls at these gatherings. According to the documents, the girls were also given laced drinks at Diddy’s behest.
Drugging And Possible Rape

Throughout the 73-page lawsuit, Rodney Jones accuses Diddy of sexually assaulting him on different occasions. However, amidst it all, this particular allegation is arguably the heaviest sexual offense, if it turns out to be true. In the document, the producer reportedly says that he believes Diddy drugged him on February 2, 2023. While he’s not sure, Jones says that there’s a possibility he may have also been raped after being drugged. According to the lawsuit, he woke up naked, dizzy, and confused in bed with Diddy and two sex workers.

Furthermore, according to the lawsuit, Jones alleges that Diddy touched him inappropriately. The statement in the document claims that Diddy sexually harassed and assaulted Jones while he lived with Diddy at his Florida home. Allegedly, this also happened at Diddy’s home in New York, as well as on a yatch the mogul rented in the US Virgin Islands. Chiefly, the assault and harassment included “constant unsolicited and unauthorized groping and touching of his anus,” according to the lawsuit.
Grooming

The lawsuit also claims that Diddy allegedly tried “to groom Jones into accepting a homosexual relationship.” Explicitly stated in the document, the producer alleges that he was forced to work in Diddy’s bathroom as the executive showered naked in a glass enclosure. Subsequently, according to the lawsuit, Jones raised concerns about this arrangement to Diddy’s chief of staff. However, Kristina Khorram, the chief of staff, brushed it aside, dubbing the behavior “friendly horseplay.” She allegedly also stated that those acts were Diddy’s way of “showing that he likes you.” Jones didn’t buy that though, as his lawsuit also accuses Khorram of aiding and abetting her boss’ sexual assault of him.

Surprisingly, allegations of sexual assault are not the only things present in Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy. Allegedly, the producer also received threats of physical harm from the mogul who repeatedly exerted dominance and control over him. According to the document, Diddy sometimes threatened to “eat Mr. Jones’ face.” Additionally, the suit reportedly states that Diddy “informed Mr. Jones that he is willing to kill his mother, Janice Combs, if he must, in order to get what he wants, so he wouldn’t think twice to hurt Mr. Jones.”
Forced To Perform Sexual Acts On Sex Workers

According to the lawsuit, Diddy allegedly forced Rodney Jones to procure sex workers on several occasions. However, that wasn’t all. The suit also alleges that Diddy pressured the producer to engage in unwelcome sexual acts with these sex workers. This was allegedly done to please the music mogul. To aid in soliciting these workers, Diddy allegedly provided Jones with “an exclusive Bad Boy baseball cap.” According to the lawsuit, the producer was required to wear this cap to a Miami establishment “as a signal to any sex worker he approached” that Diddy was in town. The suit claimed that it was meant to signify that Diddy had sent Jones to recruit them.
Diddy’s Admittance To Gun Violence
Another damning allegation against Diddy, a statement in the lawsuit claims that Diddy bragged about getting away with shooting other people. Jones alleges that Diddy forced him to watch as he displayed guns, and bragged about gun violence. Furthermore, another statement claims that Diddy admitted to being responsible for a shooting in a nightclub in New York in 1999. This alleged shooting involved rapper Shyne who was subsequently sentenced to 10 years in jail.
