Diddy seen in Miami as more allegations come out after homeland security raid: Updates

The music producer said Mr Gooding sexually harassed and assaulted him after being “groomed” and then “passed off” by Diddy to the actor.

“Cuba Gooding Jr began touching, groping, and fondling Mr Jones’ legs, his upper inner thighs near his groin, the small of his back near his buttocks, and his shoulders,” the amendment to the lawsuit stated.

The Independent has previously contacted Mr Gooding’s representatives for comment.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been reportedly spotted several times in south Florida during the Easter weekend, despite a major raid on his exclusive Star Island mansion just days before.

Combs was seen interacting with fans at the Pura Vida restaurant near First Street and Washington Avenue on Friday and riding a bicycle near his property.

Earlier on Friday, he was reportedly spotted at a Top Golf location in Sweetwater.

On Monday his properties in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by officials from US Homeland Security. Combs described the actions of HSI agents as a “gross overuse of military-level force”.

Diddy’s lawyers have hit out at the raids, branding them a “gross overuse of military-level force”. He was not detained and spoke to authorities, and neither he nor any family members were arrested, nor has their travel been restricted, according to his lawyer’s statement.

In the clip, which has been circulating on social media since Monday (25 March), Diddy and Bieber are shown together in a recording studio. It is unclear what the footage was filmed for, but it appears to have been taken around the time the future pop star was recording his 2010 debut album, My World 2.0.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was spotted for the first time since federal agents raided his homes on Monday night, The Daily Mail reports.

The rapper was with his two school-aged daughters at a Miami, Florida golf club on Thursday night for two hours before leaving, the outlet reported. As he departed, Diddy even flashed a peace sign at the cameras — seemingly indicating he’s unfazed.

A former back-up dancer of Sean “Diddy” Combs has spoken out to reveal her “horrific” experience with the rapper after his homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided this week.

Tanika Ray said in a social media post that she knew to “avoid him at all costs”, adding that “nothing that is happening is surprising”.

“I just knew to avoid him at all costs … Yes, I danced for him and kept my space. I interviewed him for his projects and kept my space. Nothing that is happening is surprising,” she wrote, according to Page Six.

A lawsuit filed in November has accused Diddy of running a sex trafficking operation, of hiding hidden cameras in his home, and of forcing the plaintiff, music producer Ron Jones, into having sex with sex workers, among other claims.

Combs has strongly denied all of the allegations made against him. He has not been charged with any crime.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ private jet has landed back in Florida after it left the country on the day his LA and Miami homes were raided by Homeland Security.

The jet flew to Antigua and Barbuda on the day the feds raided the rapper’s home.

The plane returned on Wednesday morning and has remained parked at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport ever since.

Diddy has not made an official public appearance since the federal raids, but released a statement via his lawyers condemning the “overuse” of force by US authorities during the raids.

The February lawsuit brought against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones is not the first time the rapper was sued for sexual misconduct.

In November, the singer Cassie, a protege of Combs, sued him. She claimed he engaged in years of sex abuse toward her, including rape. In the lawsuit, she claimed he forced her to have sex with male prostitutes and filmed the acts.

The suit was settled on the day after it was filed.

“I did not do any of the awful things being alleged,” Combs said after the November lawsuit.

Combs has also denied the allegations in the February lawsuit.
