Investigators from the United States have traveled to London due to rising concerns that P. Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, may have committed crimes against women in the UK. British authorities have joined forces with New York investigators in this ongoing inquiry into the hip-hop mogul’s actions. Combs is facing charges in the U.S. for sex trafficking, drug possession, and firearm offenses.
The music icon, who has made frequent trips to Britain over the past 30 years, is now under scrutiny for potential criminal activity during his time abroad. A source revealed, “Everywhere he went, investigators are now following. The UK was a favored destination for him.” With Combs, 54, in custody following his arrest two weeks ago in New York, authorities have been focusing on accusations stemming from 2008, including claims that he forced women into drug-fueled, filmed sexual encounters with male sex workers. Flight records, now in the hands of prosecutors, detail his extensive visits to the UK.
The prosecutor leading the investigation, Damian Williams, is known for his successful prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell. Combs is currently being held in the same New York facility that housed Maxwell before her conviction for sex trafficking. US officials are urging anyone in the UK with information related to these allegations to come forward.
Combs, who rose to fame in the 1990s and has become one of the wealthiest figures in music, has regularly visited the UK for both personal and professional reasons. His connections to British high society are well-documented, with appearances at prestigious events such as Sir Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball and the Concert for Diana at Wembley Stadium in 2007. During this period, he was often seen in the company of celebrities, including Victoria Beckham and Lady Victoria Hervey.
His trips to the UK were not just social, as he spent time in London promoting his fashion brand, Sean John. Despite his glamorous lifestyle, dark allegations have emerged, beginning in 2023 when his former partner, singer Cassie Ventura, accused him of physical and sexual abuse during their decade-long relationship. Cassie’s claims led to a civil lawsuit, which was swiftly settled, but the fallout sparked further scrutiny and new allegations from other women.
As more disturbing details come to light, investigators have searched Combs’ properties in Miami and Los Angeles, discovering drugs, firearms, and over a thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricant. Despite the seriousness of the charges, Combs’ legal team remains defiant, with his lawyer Marc Agnifilo asserting his client’s innocence and commitment to fighting the case. Agnifilo has defended the quantity of baby oil found in Combs’ home, stating that he “simply likes to buy in bulk.”
With bail denied and a lengthy prison sentence looming if convicted, Combs faces an uncertain future as investigators continue to piece together a case that spans continents and decades. Both the Metropolitan Police in London and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security have declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.
