Diddy’s alleged ‘drug mule’ arrested following raid on Sean Combs’ home: Live

Brendan Paul, the man arrested at a Florida airport earlier this week and who had been accused of being Sean “Diddy“ Combs’ “drug mule,” is a former Syracuse University men’s basketball player.

Federal agents raided Combs’s LA mansion on the same day Mr Paul was apprehended at Opa Locka Airport airport in Miami before he could board a private jet.

Mr Paul was recently named in a lawsuit filed by Rodney Jones, a music producer, who alleged that the former basketball player was Combs’ “mule” and worked to gather and distribute guns for the rapper.

The February lawsuit brought against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones is not the first time the rapper was sued for sexual misconduct.

In November, the singer Cassie, a protege of Combs, sued him. She claimed he engaged in years of sex abuse toward her, including rape. In the lawsuit, she claimed he forced her to have sex with male prostitutes and filmed the acts.

The suit was settled on the day after it was filed.

“I did not do any of the awful things being alleged,” Combs said after the November lawsuit.

Combs has also denied the allegations in the February lawsuit.

Firearms were reportedly found by federal agents searching Sean “Diddy” Combs’ properties in LA and Miami, according to sources who spoke to NBC News.

The type of firearms allegedly found and the legal owners of the firearms is unknown as of this report.

Federal agents searched the properties on Monday.

Combs is a defendant in a lawsuit allegeing that he was involved in drug trafficking. He has denied all allegeations and has called the federal raid a “witch hunt.”

Right-wing media figure Charlie Kirk invoked Jeffrey Epstein, the shamed, now-dead financier who sexually abused minors, in a conspiratorial rant about a lawsuit involving Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who sued Combs in February, alleged in court filings that the rapper installed “hundreds” of hidden cameras in his various homes.

Kirk theorised that the cameras may have been a way for Combs to collect blackmail material on famous figures attending his parties. He suggested Combs may have evidence of “Barack Obama,” “LeBron James” and “Justin Bieber” doing things they “shouldn’t have been doing.”

Combs has denied all of the allegations in the lawsuit.

Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who sued Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in February, alleged in court filings that the rapper installed “hundreds” of hidden cameras in his various homes.

“While living and traveling with Mr. Combs, Mr. Jones discovered that Mr. Combs had hidden cameras in every room of his home,” the court filing says.

Combs has denied the allegations in Mr Jones’ lawsuit.

Federal authorities raided Combs’ LA mansion on Monday. Combs has not been charged with a crime and was not detained.

Just two days after his LA mansion was raided by federal law enforcement, Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly cancelling his plans and staying put in the US to fight allegeations that he was involved in gun, drug, and sex trafficking.

Sources who spoke with the LA Times said that Mr Combas was planning to leave for a spring break vacation with his daughters, but has cancelled those plans. He reportedly still has his passport. Mr Combs has not been detained or formally charged since the raid.

Mr Combs has denied any wrongdoing.

It was unclear whether Diddy was present at the time.

“S**t just got real,” 50 Cent posted on Instagram, with an image of the raid on Diddy’s Los Angeles home from Fox 11’s live news segment, where his sons King and Justin Combs were reported to be in handcuffs.

Brendan Paul, 25, of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, was taken into custody on Monday afternoon at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on cocaine and marijuana possession charges, according to arrest records obtained by Rolling Stone.

The arrest report states that Mr Paul “had the contraband inside of his personal travel bags, which he claimed prior to being searched” at around 4.15pm. A family member of Mr Paul’s confirmed his arrest to the outlet.
