Federal raids on the well-known rapper’s houses in Miami and Los Angeles resulted in the tracking of his private plane as it flew to Antigua.
The private plane of Sean “Diddy” Combs traveled from California to Antigua while police searched his homes in Miami and Los Angeles. Flight trackers show that the 54-year-old rapper’s aircraft initially took off from Sacramento Executive Airport and made landfall at Palm Springs International Airport. The plane made a quick halt before landing at Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles. The aircraft departed the California airport early the following morning and made its way to Antigua.
In contrast to rumors, Combs was not on the trip to Antigua because he was spotted later that day at Miami Opa-Locka Airport. Law enforcement officers raided his houses in Miami and Los Angeles during this period. The operations were conducted by Homeland Security Investigations authorities working with local law enforcement. The precise nature of the inquiry has not been made public, but Combs is currently facing litigation related to sex trafficking in the wake of the raids.
Since November 2023, Combs has been the target of numerous allegations of sexual assault and other offenses of a similar nature. His ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a complaint in which she accused him of rape, sex trafficking, and domestic abuse. Liza Gardner, another woman, came forward and said that she and a companion had been sexually abused in New York City more than thirty years ago by Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall.
Joi Dickerson-Neal, a third woman, accused Combs of sexual assault in a case she filed in New York County Supreme Court not long after. Later, a fourth individual accused the rapper of gang rape and sex trafficking, among other similar charges. In a recent complaint, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, a former Combs producer and cameraman, requested $30 million in damages, detailing a year-long spree of sexual harassment, drugging, and threats.
