In the wake of a federal investigation into human trafficking, a video featuring Sean "Diddy" Combs and a 15-year-old Justin Bieber has resurfaced, raising eyebrows.
The investigation, led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), included raids on Combs' properties in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, and Star Island, Miami, on March 25.
Combs is facing allegations of drugging and sexually assaulting young women. The HSI stated, "Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations 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."
SkyFOX footage showed agents arresting several individuals during the raid, but it remains unclear who was present at the time and who was detained.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that American musician and producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones has initiated legal action against Combs, his son Justin Dior Combs, chief of staff Kristen Khorram, and various entities including Universal Music Group and Motown Records. Jones alleges he suffered illegal and traumatic experiences while living with Combs and working on the "Love" album.
The lawsuit accuses Combs of incessant recording demands, illegal drug use and distribution, and providing spiked drinks to minors and sex workers. Jones likened Khorram to Ghislaine Maxwell for her alleged role in procuring drugs for Combs' operations.
Jones detailed an incident at a Hollywood recording studio where a shooting occurred, injuring him and another individual identified as "G". The lawsuit alleges that Combs instructed witnesses to mislead police about the shooting's circumstances.
In response to these allegations, HSI led an operation targeting Combs' residences in Holmby Hills and Star Island. While details of the investigation are limited, Homeland Security's statement confirms it is part of a broader inquiry involving federal and local law enforcement collaboration.
Combs' legal team condemned the raids as excessively aggressive and maintained his innocence. "Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated," Aaron Dyer, an attorney for Combs, told The Daily Mail.
Retired NYPD detective Derrick Parker, formerly of the "Hip Hop Cops," suggested that Combs' influence might have previously protected him from scrutiny. Parker hinted at a possible informant within Combs' circle propelling the federal investigation.
The controversy deepened with the emergence of a video showing Combs with a 15-year-old Bieber, making statements that have raised questions in light of the current allegations. In the video, Combs brags about spending forty-eight hours with Bieber, hinting at undisclosed activities.
The Daily Mail reported, "In the clip Diddy, born Sean Love Combs, stands next to the young pop sensation and tells the camera Hes having forty-eight hours with Diddy, where we hanging out and what were doing we cant really disclose, he explained. But its definitely a 15-year-olds dream."
The video, posted on social media, sparked criticism and concern, with one viewer labeling the footage 'creepy'. As the investigation continues, the public awaits further information on the allegations against Combs.
