Law enforcement agents have reportedly raided homes owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles in connection to an ‘ongoing’ sex trafficking investigation. Helicopter footage showed Homeland Security raid at the rapper’s Beverly Hills home on Monday.

According to Los Angeles station FOX 11, Homeland Security raided both Diddyl’s Los Angeles and Miami homes on Monday, March 25 in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation. Multiple people, including Diddy’s sons Justin and King Combs, were detained at the scene. According to video footage, there appears to be dozens of armed agents in full tactical gear with rifles walking in and out of the Beverly Hills residence; it’s unclear if Diddy is present at either home.

A representative for Homeland Security Investigations told TMZ: “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.

Diddy has faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct in recent months; his ex-girlfriend Cassie (full name is Casandra Ventura) who dated on and off from 2007 to 2018, was the first to accuse Diddy of rape, assault and repeated physical abuse in a November 2023 lawsuit. The lawsuit between the exes was settled quickly and “amicably,” Diddy said in a statement. Diddy later faced three new lawsuits before the end of the year, in which he was accused of sexual assault, revenge porn and being involved in the “gang rape” of a 17-year-old girl.

Rebel Wilson has named Sacha Baron Cohen as the ‘A-list Hollywood star’ who is allegedly trying to “threaten” her over her upcoming memoir, “Rebel Rising.” Wilson, 44, posted a picture of a binder and a purple pen in an Instagram Story on Monday, writing: “I will not be bullied or silenced with high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers. The ‘a—hole’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is Sasha Baron Cohen.” Wilson and Cohen worked together in 2016’s “The Brothers Grimsby,” which also starred Penélope Cruz, Sam Hazeldine and Cohen’s wife, Isla Fisher.

A spokesperson for Cohen, 52, issued a statement in response to Wilson’s claims later on Monday, which read: “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during, and after the production of ‘The Brothers Grimsby’.”

Wilson’s revelation comes days after she alleged an ‘A-list’ star (now identified as Cohen) hired a crisis PR firm and lawyers to hinder her book sales when she told the Cohen that she planned to dedicate a whole chapter to him. Wilson wrote in a now-deleted post: “now the a–hole is trying to threaten me. He’s hired a crisis PR manager and lawyers. He’s trying to stop press coming out about my new book.”

Wilson’s memoir, “Rebel Rising,” is currently set for release on April 2.
