Federal agents have conducted raids on Sean "Diddy" Comb's properties in both Beverly Hills and Miami amidst allegations of serious criminal activity.
Video from FOX11 captures the tense moments armed federal agents arrived on March 25 to one of the properties. The footage also shows individuals, who TMZ identified as Combs' sons, Justin, 30, and Christian "King" Combs, 25, in handcuffs near the home. It is unclear at this time why the two were in cuffs.
Newsweek reached out to Combs' representation via email on Tuesday, requesting comment on both the raid and the reports about Justin and King being handcuffed.
"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," Homeland Security Investigations told Reuters.
Agents moved inside the Beverly Hills residence with weapons drawn, questioning individuals, though it remains unclear whether Combs was on the premises. Local police state that Homeland Security is leading the investigation, with aerial support from helicopters and assistance from local law enforcement.
"The inquiry was led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents in New York, where a lawsuit was filed against Combs by a former girlfriend in federal court in November accusing him of engaging in sex trafficking," Reuters explained.
Combs, 54, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
