Watch: Aerial footage shows raids at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s properties
Properties connected to rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs were raided on Monday by federal agents.
The Department of Homeland Security said it had pursued the “law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation” in New York, Los Angeles and Miami.
Two properties were searched in Los Angeles and Miami as part of the probe.
Officials did not specify the reasons for the raids or whether they were tied to Mr Combs.
Representatives for the hip-hop mogul did not respond to the BBC’s requests for comment on Monday.
Several recent lawsuits have accused Mr Combs of sexual misconduct. His attorneys have previously denied all of the allegations made against him in the lawsuits.
On Monday, Homeland Security Investigations agents were conducting their operations in the 17,000 square foot mansion where Mr Combs announced his latest album release last September.
The address of the house is associated with Mr Combs’ Bad Boy Films production company. Located in the wealthy Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills, the area is home to numerous celebrities and the Playboy Mansion.
