Video shows home of rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs after FBI raid: TMZ
Fox News senior national correspondent William La Jeunesse breaks down the latest accusations against rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
The life of Sean "Diddy" Combs is under intense scrutiny, including his past and present relationships.
On Monday, two of Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided as part of a federal human trafficking investigation.
Combs declared his innocence, and his attorney, Aaron Dyer, told Fox News Digital in a statement Tuesday, "There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name."
Additionally, Rodney Jones, known professionally as Lil Rod, sued Combs in February for sexual assault and listed the rapper’s most recent girlfriend, Yung Miami, in his updated complaint on Monday, alleging she was paid as a sex worker by Combs and also provided him with drugs.

Combs has also faced prior legal issues with his dating life, including a lawsuit by ex-girlfriend Cassie alleging years of abuse.

Misa Hylton is a fashion designer who began dating Combs in the early 1990s.
They welcomed a son together, Justin, in 1993 and have co-parented him since their breakup shortly after.
In 2023, Hylton appeared to call out Combs on social media when Justin was charged with a DUI, writing, "I’m not protecting no one anymore, just my son."
She also implied Combs had been "sit[ting] around for years and act[ing] like there isn’t anything wrong with you."

"The statement ‘a fish rots from the head down’ means that, in addition to being a major contributing [factor] in a family or organization’s success, leadership is also the root cause of its failure and demise," she added.
They later exchanged more positive interactions at the time on Instagram after Diddy posted that he felt like it was "f--- everybody" season, and she agreed in a comment. He wrote in response, "I love you queen. Stay in the light."

Model Kim Porter and Combs dated on and off from the 1990s through 2007, when they broke up following his alleged infidelity.
"He’s not the first man who’s cheated," Porter told Essence magazine in 2007. "He’s not the first man who’s had a baby outside of his relationship. He’s not the originator of this. But at this point in my life — I have girls now — it’s a different program."
Combs adopted Porter’s son Quincy from a previous relationship, and they shared three more children together, son Christian and twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie.

Despite the alleged infidelity, they remained friendly throughout the years until her sudden death from lobar pneumonia in 2018 at age 47.
Combs paid tribute to Porter on social media, writing, "We were more than best friends, we were more than soulmates. WE WERE SOME OTHER S---!!"
Calling it a "nightmare" loss, he added, "I miss you so much."

"I was in this relationship with Puff [Combs] where I was totally crying, crazy and going nuts. It really took my whole life in a tailspin."
There were reports during the relationship that Lopez would try to hunt him down and even knocked on hotel doors looking for him, to which she responded, "I can’t remember right now, but I won’t say it didn’t happen.
"I never caught him, but I just knew. He’d say he was going to a club for a couple of hours and then never come back that night," she added.

Porter expressed her disappointment in a 2007 Essence interview, saying, "But men do get caught up in things; I’m not naive to that. Still, there’s a right and a wrong way to handle it.
"Because, most of all, we were friends. Even if I couldn’t have understood it as a woman, I would have understood it as a friend."

According to Porter, Combs confessed after their twins were born, and she said she already knew of his affair with Chapman.
"I said, ‘Really? Well, I already knew. I’m glad you decided to be a man,’" Porter told the outlet. "I was like, ‘Dude, this is so wack. I can’t even respect you right now.’ And, for me, once the respect is gone, I’m not even listening to you."

The suit claimed Combs had "uncontrollable rage" and alleged he beat her on multiple occasions.

"After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships," Cassie, 37, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
Combs denied the claims and ended up settling the suit one day after it was filed.
"I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control," Cassie said at the time. "I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support."
Combs said in his own statement, "We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love."

Gina Huynh
Gina Huynh was linked to Combs during his on-again, off-again relationship with Cassie.
In 2019, she alleged to blogger Tasha K that Combs had abused her, saying, "He stomped on my stomach really hard — like, took the wind out of my breath," per the New York Post.
"He was mentally, emotionally and physically abusing me. He would always compare me to Cassie and tell me that I’m the bad one, she’s a good one."
The interview resurfaced in 2023 after Cassie’s lawsuit against Combs.
Huynh claimed she turned down $50,000 to get an abortion after becoming pregnant by Combs.
"I turned [the money] down because I just loved him. I wanted to … I was, like, trying to prove that," she claimed, according to the Daily Mail.
"I wasn’t the girl that wanted him for money. I just cared about him. I just wanted him to be nice to me. That’s it."
