News from the USA
Diddy’s Miami mansion was abuzz with activity Tuesday following a federal raid on the property a day earlier, which law enforcement sources said was part of a federal investigation into human trafficking.
The Post has learned that dark SUVs come and go from his mansion on Starr Island in Miami Beach throughout the day.
Diddy, who was last photographed at a Miami airport talking animatedly on his phone after authorities intercepted a private jet he was about to take to the Caribbean, was not seen leaving the property.
Federal authorities also raided his home in Los Angeles on Monday, and Miami police, working with federal agencies, arrested one of Diddy’s employees for possession of cocaine and marijuana.
Meanwhile, a former employee of Jennifer Lopez, who dated Diddy from 1999 to 2001, recalled how the 54-year-old rapper was often demanding and demeaning.
“He felt like he was our boss by default,” a former Lopez employee told The Post.
“He would order her whole team around like we worked for him. Anything he wanted, we had to go get it. That was more annoying than anything.
The employee says Didi often made women feel uncomfortable.
“Didi seems to classify us all into two categories: e-cable and non-e-cable,” says the employee.
“Believe it or not, I was better off not being devilish. Then he would just be disrespectful and act like we were there to serve him, like a waitress. With pretty girls he would be creepy.
“He didn’t understand the concept of personal space,” the official continued.
“Not everyone wants to be touched by a man, even if he is rich and powerful. He evoked a dark mood. I didn’t like being around him, and neither did anyone else [Lopez’s] team.”
Photos from Monday’s raids showed federal agents leaving with bags of evidence, including hard drives and electronic equipment.
Several people have previously filed civil lawsuits against him, alleging that he sexually abused them.
Diddy denied all allegations on social media and through his lawyers, who described the attacks as a “witch hunt” and said one of the lawsuits against him was “purely a money grab and nothing more.”
Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, has not been arrested or charged, “but has spoken with authorities and has been cooperating,” his attorney said.
His travel is not restricted in any way, he added.
Didi’s professional life has also been thrown into turmoil by the attack.
And at Diddy’s companies, productivity has ground to a halt, despite management’s assurances that it will be business as usual.
The Post has learned that roughly half of Combs Global’s employees didn’t show up for work Tuesday — and several posted banners on LinkedIn saying they were looking for work.
“No one knows what the attack was about,” says one of Didi’s employees.
“There are rumors. They already work so hard for us, but uncertainty is the last straw. The whole thing is a mess.
