The American rapper and producer who rose to fame alongside the late Notorious B.I.G. is reportedly in federal custody, according to TMZ, after being taken on Monday night to an FBI field office in Manhattan, N.Y.
TMZ reported the arrest is connected to an ongoing criminal investigation into alleged sex trafficking and other offences that resulted in search warrants being executed at Diddy’s homes in Beverly Hills, Calif., and Miami.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo told TMZ. “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community.
“He is an imperfect person but is not criminal. To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but co-operative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
