‘Diddy’s’ homes raided in sex trafficking investigation

Diddy’s Miami mansion was a hive of activity Tuesday following the federal raid on the property a day earlier, which law enforcement sources say is part of a federal sex-trafficking investigation.

The Post has learned dark SUVs were coming and going from his mansion on Star 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 spotted leaving the property.

Federal authorities also raided his home in Los Angeles 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,” Lopez’s former employee tells The Post.

“He would order around her entire team as if we worked for him. Anything he wanted, we had to go fetch it. That was more annoying than anything.”

The employee says Diddy also often made the women uncomfortable.

“Diddy seemed to classify us all into two categories: f—kable and not f—kable,” the employee says.

“Believe it or not, it was better to be not f—kable. Then he’d just be disrespectful and act like we were there to serve him, like a waitress. With the pretty girls, he’d be creepy.”

“He didn’t grasp the concept of personal space,” the employee continued.

“Not everyone wants to be touched by a man, even if he’s rich and powerful. He put out a dark vibe. I didn’t like being around him, and neither did anyone else on [Lopez’s] team.”

Pictures from Monday’s raids showed federal agents leaving with bags of evidence including hard drives and electronic equipment.

Several people have previously filed civil suits against him, alleging he sexually abused them.

Diddy has denied all charges on social media and through his lawyers, who have branded the raids a “witch hunt” and said one of the lawsuits against him is “purely a money grab and nothing more.”

Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, was not arrested or charged “but spoke to and cooperated with authorities,” his lawyer said.

His travel has not been restricted in any way, he added.

Diddy’s professional life has also been thrown into turmoil by the raid.

And at Diddy’s companies, productivity has ground to a halt, despite assurances from management that things would be business as usual.

What do you think? Post a comment.

The Post has learned approximately half of the employees at Combs Global did not show up for work on Tuesday — and several of them have added banners on LinkedIn that they’re looking for work.

“No one knows what the raid was about,” says one of Diddy’s employees.

“Rumors are flying around. They already work us so hard, but the uncertainty is the final straw. The whole thing is a mess.”
