Diddy and his private jet shrouded in mystery as both have vanished following raids on rapper’s homes

Diddy has seemingly disappeared — and so has his jet.

Around the same time as raids on his houses in California and Florida on Monday, the rapper and record company mogul was spotted frantically talking on his phone at Opa Locka Airport in Miami.

It has since emerged that one of Diddy’s employees, Brendon Paul, 25, had just been stopped at the airport and arrested on drug charges by Miami-Dade police.

Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, has not been spotted in public since.

The rapper’s private jet, a LoveAir USA LLC-owned Gulfstream G550 with a distinctive all-black paint job, has also suspiciously vanished from public tracking site FlightAware.

Diddy was about to board a different private plane in Miami.

The final tracked flight by the LoveAir jet, with tail number N1969C, showed it flying from Los Angeles on Monday morning to Antigua, where it touched down that afternoon. It is not clear who was aboard.

A message on the website reads: “This aircraft is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator.”

Photos published by TMZ show the jet still grounded in the Caribbean on Monday night.

FlightAware spokeswoman Kathleen Bangs told the Miami Herald it is not unusual for owners to request their flight information be blocked from the site.

“This is not uncommon,” she told the Florida paper.

She said it was unknown when LoveAir LLC requested that the information be removed from the site, but FlightAware honors requests submitted through the FAA’s privacy application procession.

Here's what we know about the allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs

  • Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by Homeland Security amid a possible connection with an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation.
  • Authorities targeted the rapper’s homes to seize phones and computers, sources told The Post.
  • Combs was spotted outside a Miami airport slowly strolling back and forth Monday just hours after the raids, according to reports.
  • Brendan Paul, a music producer and basketball player, was arrested on drug charges at a Miami airport while attempting to board Combs’ private jet. Paul has been accused of being a “drug mule” for Combs in a federal lawsuit.
  • At least four Jane Does and one John Doe have been interviewed by New York prosecutors in connection to sex-trafficking allegations and a RICO case, sources told Rolling Stone.
  • Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie (Cassandra Ventura) filed a lawsuit against him in November 2023 on several allegations, including rape and physical abuse for over a decade.
  • Combs and Cassie settled the lawsuit one day after she filed it.
  • In November 2023, the rapper was accused of drugging, filming and sexually assaulting a woman on a date in 1991.
  • The lawsuit describes how Combs drove the alleged victim to a music studio “where she could not get out of the car” before taking her “to a place he was staying to sexually assault her.”
  • A third woman filed a lawsuit against the celebrity in November 2023, claiming that he and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns sexually assaulting her and a friend in the early 1990s.
  • The woman, listed as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, claimed that a couple of days after the assault, Combs came to the home where she and her friend were staying and violently attacked her.
  • In December 2023, Combs was hit with a fourth sexual assault lawsuit that accused him and others of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl at his NYC recording studio after drugging her and supplying her with alcohol.

Diddy’s sons, Justin and King Combs, were briefly detained while the raid on the Los Angeles home took place Monday.

They were seen returning to the residence hours later to collect belongings before leaving again.

The raids were led by the Homeland Security Investigations Human Trafficking Task Force, based on a search warrant issued by the Southern District of New York, sources told The Post.

“Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available,” HSI told The Post.

Neither of Diddy’s sons has been arrested, nor has Diddy.

At least four people were interviewed by agents regarding sex-trafficking claims and more are expected to be, according to Rolling Stone sources.

Diddy came under fire last year after his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura sued him, alleging she experienced years of sexual abuse at his behest.

The case was settled the day after she filed.

More recently, the musician has been hit with other lawsuits accusing of him of sexual abuse.

Diddy has strongly denied all the allegations made against him on social media and through his lawyer.
