In a move that has left both real estate enthusiasts and scandal aficionados buzzing, Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly selling his raided Los Angeles mansion for a cool $70 million.
The beleaguered Bad Boy Records founder, 54, who is currently navigating a slew of sexual assault cases, has decided to part ways with his luxury home in Holmby Hills. He’s aiming to make a hefty profit, listing it for more than $30 million above what he shelled out in 2014 — and this just a few months after Homeland Security turned it into a scene straight out of a movie during a sex-trafficking investigation.
“The house has some recent really bad memories … Homeland Security raided the mansion in March, and ransacked the place as agents tore out electronics and other items … pursuant to a search for evidence of human trafficking and other crimes,” according to TMZ.
Spanning a whopping 17,000 square feet, the mansion boasts eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and a 35-seat theater, along with a gym and a wine cellar. There’s also a cozy 3,000-square-foot guest home, a lagoon-style swimming pool with an underwater swimming tunnel, a basketball half-court, and meticulously manicured gardens.
Post-raid images revealed the mansion looking like it had been hit by a tornado of federal agents. Electronics were ripped out, clothes were scattered like confetti, furniture was turned over, and safes were left wide open with documents strewn all over the place.
Several companies have since distanced themselves from Combs, who has become something of a pariah in the business world. The New York Post disclosed that Mayor Eric Adams revoked Combs’ key to the city three weeks after CNN leaked a 2016 video of him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, 37, in a hotel.
Adding to his woes, Combs was also compelled to step down as chairman and sever ties with Revolt TV, the media company he co-founded. In a digital retreat, he recently wiped his Instagram clean amid the mounting allegations, leaving behind only a bio encouraging his 9.9 million followers to “Listen to The Love Album: Off the Grid,” complete with a link to the Grammy-nominated record.
