Attorneys for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ accusers Cassie Ventura and Rodney Jones say they hope he is held ‘responsible for his depraved conduct’ after feds raided rapper’s LA and Miami mansions

Multiple accusers of rapper Diddy have spoken out after Homeland Security agents descended on his Los Angeles and Miami estates to conduct a raid in connection to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

The producer and hip hop mogul – real name Sean Combs – is facing mounting sexual harassment and rape lawsuits. He was nowhere to be seen as agents combed through his properties on Monday afternoon.

Tyrone Blackburn, an attorney for accusers Rodney Jones Jr. and Liza Gardner, greeted the news in a statement to Rolling Stone. 

‘It’s about damn time,’ Blackburn said. ‘Sometimes justice delayed is not justice denied, so long as justice ultimately arrives.’

Douglas Wigdor, an attorney for Cassie Ventura and another one of the Jane Does accusing Diddy, responded to the search in a statement to DailyMail.com 

‘We will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.’

Last month, Jones claimed Combs subjected him to a year of groping and ‘constant unsolicited touching of his anus’.

He says he was ordered to recruit prostitutes and have sex with them for the star’s pleasure, and has hundreds of hours of video documenting Combs’s ‘serious illegal activity’. 

Jones has named some of the industry’s biggest names as co-defendants in the $30 million suit, claiming record boss Ethiopia Habtemariam dismissed Combs’s groping as ‘friendly horseplay’, and his way of ‘showing that he likes you’.

Combs recruited Jones in August 2022 to produce some of the songs on the R&B album ‘The Love Album: Off the Grid’ which was nominated for a Grammy after its release in September 2023.

In November 2023, Cassie, who’s real name is Cassandra Ventura, accused Combs of rape and repeated physical abuse.

The lawsuit alleged how he allegedly controlled and abused Cassie for over a decade – as well as plying her with drugs, beating her, and forcing her to have sex with multiple male prostitutes while he watched and recorded.

The pair, who met in 2005 when she was aged 19, split in 2018. The lawsuit claimed that just before the end of their relationship, he forced his way into her home and raped her.

Diddy, 54, vehemently denied all of the ‘offensive and outrageous allegations.’

Gardner has accused Combs and R&B singer Aaron Hall of assaulting both her and a friend at Hall’s apartment in the early 1990s, when Gardner was just 16 years old. 

‘The claims involving alleged misconduct against Mr. Combs from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute are all completely denied and rejected by him,’ a statement on behalf of the mogul said at the time to NBC News. 

‘He recognizes this as a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for accusers who will falsify the truth, without conscience or consequence, for financial benefit.’ 

A spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations told DailyMail.com 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.’ 

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Diddy for comment. 

The raid comes just weeks after one of Diddy’s accusers in a sexual assault lawsuit was ordered to reveal her identity.

At least two as of now unidentified men were seen being put in handcuffs at his Holmby Hills property 

The rapper and music mogul has been fighting various legal battles, including one against an unnamed woman who claimed he and two friends sexually assaulted her when she was 17. 

Rolling Stone reported Monday that ‘four Jane Does and one John Doe’ have already been interviewed by the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York ‘for a probe related to alleged sex trafficking, domestic violence and racketeering,’ with more scheduled.

DailyMail.com has reached out to lawyers for Diddy’s other publicly named accusers, including Joi Dickerson-Neal, for comment. 

A police line was set up around the Los Angeles house in the wealthy Holmby Hills neighborhood near Beverly Hills Monday, where at least two men were put in handcuffs.

Armed agents from the Department of Homeland Security entered luxury properties on both East and West Coasts of the United States, with video footage showing helicopters circling overhead. 

The agents, who were wearing vests, gathered in the home´s backyard near the pool. Multiple law enforcement agents were seen carrying bags and boxes of evidence to a van.

Combs, 54, founded the Bad Boy record label in 1993, and was a major figure in hip-hop’s commercialization over the decades that followed. His proteges included the late Notorious B.I.G. and Mary J. Blige.

He is among the industry’s billionaires, not least due to his ventures in the liquor industry.

But contrary to a public image of suave businessman, lawsuits describe Combs as a violent man who used his celebrity to prey on and intimidate women.
