DIDDY’S multimillion-dollar mansions in Los Angeles and Miami have been raided by Homeland Security.
Federal agents descended on Diddy’s two neighboring properties in Miami and a sprawling villa in California on Monday.
The homes were searched as part of an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking allegations, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.
The federal probe was launched by authorities in New York, the outlet reported.
It’s unclear at this point if Diddy is the target of the investigation.
Three women and a man were interviewed by police in Manhattan over allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms, reported NBC News.
Another three people are scheduled to be interviewed, the outlet reported.
The raids come after Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura, better known as Cassie, accused him last year of sexually abusing and assaulting her throughout their relationship.
Cassie filed a lawsuit in November 2023, claiming that she faced “a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” until her relationship with Diddy ended in 2018.
The two settled the lawsuit the day after it was filed but three other women filed claims against Diddy in the following weeks.
Diddy faced another lawsuit in February 2024 after Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who helped produce Diddy’s most recent album, claimed that the mogul sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him from September 2022 to November 2023 as they worked together.
Diddy has denied all of the claims against him.

The rap mogul has yet to address the raids at his home and his rep didn’t immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.
STAR ISLAND ESTATES
Diddy’s two neighboring homes on Star Island in Miami Beach were raided as part of the investigation, according to The Miami Herald.
He bought one of the homes on Star Island in 2003 for $14.5 million, according to Miami Condo Investments.
The home is 19,545 square feet and features nine bedrooms, and 12 bathrooms, as well as a swimming pool and private boat dock.
In 2021, Diddy bought a second 8,000-square-foot mansion on Star Island from Gloria and Emilio Estefan.
The massive property sits on 1.3 acres of land and has six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms between the main home and guest house.
It is on a corner lot of the island with views of the waterfront and the picturesque Miami skyline, according to TMZ.
The guest house is two stories and has an open living room facing the ocean.
It is unclear if the rapper intends to connect the two properties, which would create an almost 30,000-square-foot estate.
CALIFORNIA VILLA
In 2014, the rapper bought a brand new mansion in Holmby Hills, located in Los Angeles, for $40 million.
The European-style villa boasts eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms within its sprawling 17,000 square feet of living space, according to The Los Angeles Times.
The two-story home also has a separate spa house with a steam room, massage room, and beauty salon, according to TMZ.
There is a massive theater that can hold 35 people, as well as a gym and wine room.
The grounds of the home cover over an acre of space and include a lagoon-style swimming pool with a grotto connected to an elusive underwater swimming tunnel.
Also on the grounds is a 3,000-square-foot guesthouse.
The home was designed and sold by mansion developer and seller, Nile Niami, who is known for his unique properties.
Diddy’s villa also neighbors the infamous Playboy Mansion.
