Music mogul, Sean “Diddy” Combs’s private jet landed in Antigua yesterday, leaving folks to wonder if he was on board, but according to Prime Minister Gaston Browne Diddy is not in the country.
During a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raid of Diddy’s Holmby Hills home in West Los Angeles on Monday afternoon on suspicion of sex trafficking and sexual assault, they were also at Diddy’s Miami mansion on a different warrant for the same allegations.
Combs was in the Miami area when the raids were taking place, according to law enforcement sources that are familiar with the warrant service.
Investigators also seized the phones of Combs, according to sources, as the rapper was scheduled to depart for a trip to the Bahamas. It was not immediately clear how many devices or phones were seized.
Some plane trackers said Combs’ private jet had landed on the Caribbean island of Antigua. Jack Sweeney, a private flight tracking expert had posted the supposed route of the Gulfstream jet, taking off from northern California before stopping in Los Angeles and then flying on to land in Antigua at 10:21 p.m. ET. Sweeney quoted sources as saying Diddy had not been aboard the flight.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne told Newsweek that Diddy is not in the country. “There is no credible information that he is here. To the contrary, he did not arrive on the flight yesterday to Antigua,” Browne said in a message.
“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,” the Homeland Security confirmed the raid in a statement.
Combs is facing a lawsuit by a woman, who accused Combs and two other men of raping her 20 years ago in a New York City recording studio when she was 17.
The woman, whose name wasn’t disclosed in the court filing, is the fourth person to file a lawsuit accusing Combs of sexual assault.
In the lawsuit, the woman said she was in 11th grade at a high school in a Detroit suburb in 2003, when she met Harve Pierre, then the president of Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment record label, at a lounge.
