Embattled hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been arrested in New York City on unspecified federal charges.
The arrest in Manhattan follows raids on two of his properties in Los Angeles and Miami in March as part of an “ongoing investigation” into sex trafficking by authorities.
Mr Combs’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said they were “disappointed” by the arrest and his client was an “innocent man”.
The musician has faced a series of allegations from sexual assault to abuse, including by his ex-partner Casandra “Cassie” Ventura. He has denied all the claims against him.
His arrest was made in connection with an ongoing investigation by US homeland security officials, multiple law enforcement sources told CBS.
US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams confirmed the arrest in a statement on Monday night.
