Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the renowned music mogul, has recently found himself under intense scrutiny following a federal search of his properties.

Despite vehemently denying allegations, Combs' name is entangled in an ongoing sex trafficking investigation led by federal authorities in New York. Here's a breakdown of the developments so far:

According to reports from the Associated Press, Homeland Security agents, accompanied by other law enforcement officials, conducted searches at two of Combs' properties - one in Los Angeles and another in Miami. The searches are believed to be part of the broader investigation into sex trafficking allegations.

Footage captured during the operation shows a police line surrounding Combs' Los Angeles residence, with agents seen entering and exiting his properties from trucks. The nature of the investigation and the extent of the search remain undisclosed.

In recent months, several sexual assault lawsuits have surfaced against Combs, accusing him of coercion, solicitation of prostitutes and rape. These allegations span decades, with lawsuits dating back to the early 90s. Notably, at least four women filed suits against him in New York by the end of 2023, leveraging a state law that allowed survivors a one-year window to sue for past abuse.

In response to the allegations, Combs took to Instagram in December to deny any wrongdoing, labeling the accusations as "sickening" and driven by individuals seeking financial gain. He pledged to fight for his name, his family, and the truth amidst the mounting legal challenges.

As the investigation unfolds, uncertainties linger regarding Combs' involvement and the seized evidence, if any. It remains unclear whether he was the sole target of the probe or if others are implicated.
