US attorney in Manhattan, Damian Williams confirmed the rapper’s arrest.
Details of the charges have not been announced by prosecutors.
“We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time,” Williams said.
Combs, 54, was arrested in a Manhattan hotel lobby by Homeland Security Officers.
His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said Combs had been cooperating with the investigation and had voluntarily relocated to New York in anticipation of the charges.
Combs’s lawyer said their team is “disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the US Attorney’s Office.”
The star’s arrest comes months after federal agents raided his homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of an ongoing sex trafficking probe.
Combs, 54 is currently facing a string of civil lawsuits over allegations of sexual assault.
The music star has been in the spotlight in the past year after he settled a lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
In November 2023, disturbing hallway footage emerged showing him kicking and beating his then-partner.
He released a video at the time apologizing to his ex.
The rapper said, “I was f***ed up. I mean, I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.
“I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it and I’m disgusted now.”
