Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Los Angeles-area home that was raided by federal authorities amid sex trafficking allegations is registered to one of his daughters, according to local reports.

Investigators with the Department of Homeland Security executed search warrants at properties belonging to Combs in Miami and the Holmby Hills suburb of Los Angeles on Monday afternoon.

The raids are tied to sex-trafficking allegations leveled by different plaintiffs in recent months, The Associated Press reported, citing law enforcement sources.

Homeland Security Investigations told Newsweek on Monday in a statement: “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. We will provide further information as it becomes available.”

Fox 11 Los Angeles reported on Monday that Combs’ house is registered to Bad Boy Films, a division of his Bad Boy Entertainment company. According to the outlet, the palatial abode is also registered to one of his daughters. The daughter in question was not specified by the news outlet.

Combs, 54, is the father to four daughters: Chance, 17, with businesswoman Sarah Chapman; twins D’Lila and Jessie, 17, from his relationship with the late model Kim Porter; and Love, who was born in December 2022. Love’s mother is cybersecurity professional and model Dana Tran.

The music mogul is also the father of three sons: Justin, 30, from his relationship with stylist and fashion designer Misa Hylton, and Christian, 25, whose mother is Combs’ late ex Porter. Diddy is also the adoptive father of Quincy, 32, who was born to Porter and singer and producer Al B. Sure!.

Newsweek has contacted a representative of Combs via email for comment.

In recent months, music producer Combs has faced several legal battles, with lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and trafficking.

Last month, a music producer filed a lawsuit accusing Combs of coercing him to solicit prostitutes and then pressure him to have sex with them. The producer, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, alleges in the lawsuit that he was sexually harassed, drugged and threatened by Combs for more than a year. Jones produced several tracks on Combs’ The Love Album: Off the Grid and seeks $30 million in damages.

Combs’ attorney Shawn Holley has disputed the allegations, previously telling Newsweek that “we have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies.”

In a separate case, Combs’ ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, sued him in November, alleging years of sexual abuse. The lawsuit, which accused Combs of forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes while he filmed, was settled the day after it was filed.

Combs was hit with another lawsuit in December over allegations that he trafficked and sexually abused a woman identified as Jane Doe. The suit accuses Combs of “gang rape” and sex trafficking.

While Combs has not released a statement as of Monday evening, the rapper has a post pinned to the top of his account on X, formerly Twitter, in response to the accusations that he raped and trafficked several women.

“Enough is Enough,” Combs wrote in a statement posted to X in December. “For the last couple weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.

“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”

Combs’ ex Cassie, whose real name is Cassandra Ventura, shared a statement through her attorney Douglas Wigdor following news of Monday’s raids.

“Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct,” read the statement.
