Nature of investigation not revealed, but raids follow allegations of sex offences, including trafficking, made by ex-girlfriend.

United States federal agents have raided two homes belonging to hip-hop star Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Department of Homeland Security officials confirmed on Monday that they had conducted searches of the music mogul’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami.

The investigation is being led by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents in New York, where a lawsuit was filed against Combs by a former girlfriend last year, accusing him of sex trafficking.

In a statement issued to the Reuters news agency, HSI did not elaborate on the nature of its investigation. However, it has jurisdiction to investigate the illegal movement of people, goods, money, technology and contraband, including sex trafficking.

R&B vocalist Cassandra Ventura sued Combs in federal court in Manhattan in November, accusing him of subjecting her to physical abuse, sexual slavery and rape during a 10-year professional and romantic relationship.

The suit cited violations of sex trafficking and human trafficking statutes under federal, New York state and California laws.

Ventura and Combs – who has used such monikers as P Diddy, Puff Daddy and Diddy – announced the next day they had settled the case under confidential terms.

Combs, 54, has said that he is innocent and his accusers were seeking “a quick payday”.

Ventura’s court action opened the door to other lawsuits, raising allegations of sexual assault and rape against Combs from other plaintiffs.

In December, Combs denied the latest civil complaint, which accused him of taking part in the gang rape of a teenager whom he arranged to fly from Detroit to New York 20 years ago,

Television stations in Los Angeles carried aerial video footage showing HSI agents and other law enforcement authorities raiding Combs’s estate in the city’s upscale Holmby Hills neighbourhood.

Los Angeles City News Service reported several people were detained outside the home, but it was unclear whether any arrests were made.

Local news outlets reported that federal authorities also executed a search warrant at the rap mogul’s Miami-area home.

Footage showed officers going in and out of his property on Miami Beach’s Star Island with agents carrying a box of material from the home.

Combs’s whereabouts during the raids were not known.

Meet the Man Who Turned Hype Into a Science: Emmy Blaq, Nigeria’s G.O.A.T. of Hype

Published

on

If you have ever been at a Nigerian event and found yourself on your feet before the main act even stepped on stage, there is a good chance a hype man was responsible. But not just any hype man. Emmy Blaq, born Ikechukwu Emmanuel Chima and raised in Auchi, Edo State, has spent the last few years quietly becoming the most talked-about name in that profession, and the Nigerian press has taken notice. Punch, Vanguard, The Guardian Nigeria, The Nation, and Independent Newspaper have all sat down with him, and every conversation leads back to the same thing: this man does not just make noise; he makes moments.
What makes Emmy Blaq different is the journey behind the energy. Before the stages, the collaborations with Waje on her “Waje 2.0” album, DJ Consequence, and DJ Kaywise on the massively streamed “Joor Party Mix” series, he was repairing generators, cutting hair, and sewing clothes in Auchi. His first professional hype gig happened at a local fast food spot called Valchi, and the crowd response that night changed everything. He told The Nation directly: “My passion for entertainment and desire to make people happy led me into the craft.” Punch also captured his bigger mission when he said that hype men deserve more than what they currently earn, a statement that sparked a real conversation across Nigerian entertainment circles.
With over 1.7 million TikTok followers, 23.6 million TikTok likes, a viral “Wife Material” challenge that landed on Pulse Nigeria’s top ten social media moments of 2021, and an international performance at the Cameroon International Music Festival that Cameroonian media described as electrifying, Emmy Blaq is not building toward something. He is already there. The G.O.A.T. of Hype is not a title he gave himself and hoped would stick. It is one the rooms keep confirming every single time he grabs the mic.
