Diddy Maybe Vacationing In Caribbean While Mansions Were Raided Amid Sex Trafficking Investigation: Report
Sean "Diddy" Combs' private jet was tracked down to a Caribbean island while his Los Angeles and Miami mansions were raided Monday in connection to a sex trafficking investigation.
TMZ reported that Combs' black Gulfstream 5 -- dubbed the LoveAir LLC jet -- is on the ground in Antigua as of Monday.
However, it is unclear if the music mogul himself was aboard the jet during that trip.
According to flight data seen by TMZ, Combs' jet traveled from Sacramento Executive Airport in California to Palm Springs International Airport Sunday evening.
An hour after landing in Palm Springs, his jet flew to Van Nuys Airport, the outlet reported.
Combs' jet then left Van Nuys Airport at around 9 a.m. PT Monday and headed to Antigua.
Combs has not been spotted on the Caribbean island as of this writing.
His jet left California just hours before Combs' homes in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of L.A. and on Star Island in Miami were raided by Homeland Security.
In a statement obtained by TMZ, a spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations said, "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 rep added.
It is unconfirmed if Combs is the focus of the investigation.
The searches were part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation by federal authorities in New York, the Associated Press reported, citing two unnamed law enforcement officials.
Video footage published by TMZ showed federal law enforcement agents swarming the rapper's L.A. home as multiple helicopters hovered from above.
Footage obtained by Fox 11 also showed federal agents walking through the property with guns drawn.
Several people were seen in handcuffs in front of the estate.
Two of the men appeared to be Combs' sons, Justin and King Combs, according to TMZ.
Their names have not been officially revealed at this time.
Combs himself was not captured in the video footage, and his current whereabouts are unclear.
Over the past few months, Combs has faced several lawsuits stemming from sexual assault charges.
The first to come forward was his ex-girlfriend Cassie, who accused him of sexually assaulting and physically abusing her in a suit filed in November 2023. Combs denied the allegations, and he and Cassie reached a settlement one day later.
A second accuser alleged that Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall raped her and a friend in New York City in 1990 when she was 16.
A third woman, Joi Dickerson-Neal, also accused the rapper of sexual assault in a lawsuit filed in New York County Supreme Court.
In December last year, a fourth lawsuit accused Combs of sexual assault, sex trafficking, and gang rape.
Most recently, producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones filed a $30 million lawsuit against Combs, accusing him of sexually harassing, drugging, and threatening him.
Combs has vehemently denied all allegations.
In a statement posted on Instagram in December 2023, the billionaire record executive wrote, "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," Combs wrote. "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."
