WHERE IS SEAN 'LOVE' 'DIDDY' COMBS?

Federal officials raided Diddy's Los Angeles and Miami properties.
Authorities stated that local law enforcement participated in the raids.

On Monday, federal officials allegedly raided the houses of Sean "Diddy" Combs in Miami and Los Angeles.

The raid was conducted as part of what the spokeswoman for Homeland Security Investigations called an "ongoing investigation."

According to information gathered from law enforcement sources, the search warrant was being carried out in Los Angeles. As is usual in such cases, the sons of Combs were taken into custody outside the residence and subsequently released without being charged.

"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," according to a spokeswoman. "We will provide further information as it becomes available."

The searches at the hip-hop producer's residences are being conducted as part of a federal investigation into alleged human trafficking, according to law enforcement sources familiar with the subject. The inquiry is being overseen by the Southern District of New York. So far, the probe has not resulted in any criminal charges being brought.

Puff Daddy, Diddy, and Sean Love Combs are all aliases for the same American rapper, record producer, and executive. Combs, who was born and brought up in Mount Vernon, New York, served as a talent director for Uptown Records before launching Bad Boy Records in 1993.
