Hip-Hop Mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Arrested in Federal Investigation

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the influential music mogul and founder of Bad Boy Records, was arrested by federal agents in New York late Monday. The arrest came as part of a broader investigation spearheaded by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan. Combs, a prominent figure in the music industry, was taken into custody at a Manhattan hotel, and details of the charges remain sealed under an indictment expected to be unveiled in court.

This arrest follows a period of growing legal scrutiny surrounding the 58-year-old hip-hop impresario. Allegations against Combs have mounted over the last year, with multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and misconduct. One of the more high-profile cases involved his former girlfriend, singer Cassie, who filed a lawsuit in November accusing him of physical and sexual abuse over their years-long relationship. Though the lawsuit was swiftly settled, it brought to light several other allegations from various women.
