Sean Combs<\/a>, was the target of the investigation. <\/p>\nAt least two men \u2013 who are believed to be the rapper\u2019s sons Justin and King Combs \u2013 were put in handcuffs at his home in Holmby Hills, LA.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations told TMZ in a statement: \u201cEarlier 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.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe will provide further information as it becomes available.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe raid comes amid the mounting lawsuits recently filed against Bad Boy Records founder Diddy including allegations of assault and human trafficking \u2013 all of which have been denied by the entertainer.<\/p>\n
\nIn February, he was sued by former male employee Rodney \u2018Lil Rod\u2019 Jones, who accused the rapper of sexual assault while working on his 2023 album \u2018The Love Album: Off the Grid\u2019.<\/p>\n
\nThe producer and videographer claimed the abuse repeatedly took place from September 2022 to November 2023 and alleged he was forced to perform inappropriate acts with sex workers at Diddy\u2019s request \u2013 claiming he once woke up drugged and in bed with his boss.<\/p>\n
\nDiddy\u2019s attorney Shawn Holley has said \u201cLil Rod is nothing more than a liar\u201d seeking to \u201cshamelessly\u201d win a $30 million lawsuit against his client.<\/p>\n
\nIn November 2023, Diddy\u2019s singer\u2019s ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura, 37, known as Cassie, became the first woman to accuse Diddy of rape and abuse \u2013 with her case swiftly settled out of court the same month.<\/p>\n
\nHer lawyer Douglas Wigdor told Page Six after news of Monday\u2019s raids on Diddy\u2019s homes broke: \u201cWe will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nCassie had claimed in her suit Diddy forced her to have sex with male prostitutes as he sat and watched.<\/p>\n
\nJust weeks after he settled her case, Diddy faced another three additional lawsuits from women claiming he sexually assaulted them.<\/p>\n
\nOne woman alleged she was aged just 17 when Diddy allegedly gang-raped her in 2003.<\/p>\n
\nA spokesperson for the rapper denied the accusations, telling Page Six some of the allegations were \u201cfabricated\u201d and \u201cnothing but a money grab\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
