() Federal agents swarmed two properties belonging to Sean “Diddy” Combs on Monday. The properties in Los Angeles and Miami were searched by Homeland Security agents as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
Multiple videos from affiliate KTLA show authorities moving into the Los Angeles home and placing multiple people in handcuffs, sparking the question: Where was Combs at the time of the raids?
Where was Diddy during the raid?
While it’s still unclear exactly where he was during the searches, video from TMZ appears to show Diddy walking around at the Miami-Opa locka Executive Airport just hours after the raids at his homes started.
Where is Diddy now?
TMZ also tracked the rapper’s personal jet. They report the aircraft is on the ground in Antigua. It’s unknown if Diddy was on the plane.
“Antigua, as we know, is an extradition country, so probably not the best place to flee to if Diddy was indeed on that plane, if that’s where he is,” former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani said during an interview on “Banfield.”
The raids come after Combs has faced several sexual assault lawsuits in recent months.
In February, a music producer filed a lawsuit alleging Combs coerced him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them. Combs’ attorney Shawn Holley has said of those allegations that “we have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies.”
Combs’ former girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie, sued him in November alleging years of sexual abuse, including rape. The lawsuit said he forced her to have sex with male prostitutes while he filmed them. The suit was settled the day after it was filed.

Another of Combs’ accusers was a woman who said the rap producer raped her two decades ago when she was 17.
Combs had said in a November statement, “I did not do any of the awful things being alleged.”
Formerly known as Puffy Daddy, Combs is among the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the past three decades.
