Sean “Diddy” Combs has been spotted enjoying a carefree lifestyle in Miami despite recent events surrounding raids on his estates. The Bad Boy Records founder was seen relaxing on his personal dock, smoking and drinking while watching something on his phone. He was later seen carrying a Perrier bottle and a pair of orange flip-flops as he walked away from his leisurely afternoon.
Photos obtained by TMZ also captured Combs happily riding his bike from his Star Island estate to South Beach, flashing his signature peace sign for the cameras along the way. The 54-year-old music mogul has chosen to remain in Miami following raids by the Department of Homeland Security on his Los Angeles and Miami mansions.
The raids were reportedly part of an investigation into allegations of sex trafficking, stemming from a lawsuit filed by Combs' former employee, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, as well as multiple claims of sexual assault by various women, including his ex, Cassie. Combs has vehemently denied all allegations in Jones' lawsuit and has refuted claims of rape and abuse.
Despite settling with Cassie just 24 hours after she filed her federal lawsuit, Combs' legal team emphasized that the decision to settle does not imply any admission of wrongdoing. Attorney Ben Brafman clarified that Combs' denial of the claims remains firm, and the settlement was a mutual agreement for both parties.
In response to the raids, Combs' legal team criticized the authorities for what they deemed an “excessive show of force.” Combs' ex, Misa Hylton, also expressed outrage over the treatment of their son, Justin, during the search, highlighting the aggressive tactics used by law enforcement.
Amidst the ongoing legal issues and public scrutiny, Combs appears to be maintaining a relaxed demeanor in Miami, engaging in leisure activities and seemingly unfazed by the surrounding controversies.
