Concerns about where P Diddy is now have escalated over the last 12 hours

The internet has been abuzz with news and footage of Homeland Security raids on multiple homes connected to Sean “P Diddy” Combs, sparking a frenzy of speculation and questions. 

Reports emerged on Monday, March 25th, leading to a flurry of inquiries surrounding the circumstances that prompted the federal raids and the subsequent detainment of Christian Combs and Justin Combs – Diddy’s sons.

Concerns about P Diddy’s whereabouts have since escalated, with some people even tracking his private plane’s movements on X.

Notable figures such as Cassie’s lawyer, who had filed a lawsuit against him for sexual assault, and Yung Miami, who publicly dated him, have also weighed in on the situation.

Several raids were conducted

Confirming earlier reports, federal agents did in fact conduct raids on properties associated with Diddy in Los Angeles and Miami. 

According to ABC News, a Homeland Security Investigations’ spokesperson described the raids as part of an “ongoing investigation,” although specific details regarding the nature of the investigation, particularly allegations of sex trafficking in New York, remain undisclosed.

In a statement to TMZ, the HSI spokesperson 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.”

Agents reportedly entered the properties with “guns drawn”

Eyewitness accounts described a heavy presence of law enforcement officers during the raids, with agents reportedly entering properties with “guns drawn”. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, two helicopters were said to have swarmed the area. 

Authorities seized electronic devices linked to Diddy from the raided homes, although the specifics regarding the number and types of devices and their contents also remain undisclosed.

Despite the intense scrutiny, no criminal charges have been filed against P Diddy or his sons, Justin and Christian Combs. 

While the brothers were detained during the raid on the Los Angeles home, ABC News clarified that this detainment was customary and they were later released without charges.

Where is P Diddy now?

As speculation mounts, TMZ obtained footage allegedly showing Sean Combs at the Miami Opa Locka Executive Airport shortly after the raids.

The video showed Diddy pacing outside a customs office, although he did not appear to be detained or in custody, contrary to eyewitness claims suggesting federal intervention.

As online rumours continue to swirl, suggesting that Diddy was on the run, the video footage seems to contradict this speculation. 

However, as the investigation unfolds, the public is eager for further clarification and updates on the situation involving the renowned music mogul.
