Two of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ homes raided by Homeland Security amid sex trafficking investigation

Law enforcement agents have reportedly raided homes owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles in connection to an ‘ongoing’ sex trafficking investigation. Helicopter footage showed Homeland Security raid at the rapper’s Beverly Hills home on Monday.

According to Los Angeles station FOX 11, Homeland Security raided both Diddyl’s Los Angeles and Miami homes on Monday, March 25 in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation. Multiple people, including Diddy’s sons Justin and King Combs, were detained at the scene. According to video footage, there appears to be dozens of armed agents in full tactical gear with rifles walking in and out of the Beverly Hills residence; it’s unclear if Diddy is present at either home.

A representative for Homeland Security Investigations told TMZ: “Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available.

Diddy has faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct in recent months; his ex-girlfriend Cassie (full name is Casandra Ventura) who dated on and off from 2007 to 2018, was the first to accuse Diddy of rape, assault and repeated physical abuse in a November 2023 lawsuit. The lawsuit between the exes was settled quickly and “amicably,” Diddy said in a statement. Diddy later faced three new lawsuits before the end of the year, in which he was accused of sexual assault, revenge porn and being involved in the “gang rape” of a 17-year-old girl.

Rebel Wilson alleges that Sacha Baron Cohen is the A-list celebrity ‘threatening’ her over memoir

Rebel Wilson has named Sacha Baron Cohen as the ‘A-list Hollywood star’ who is allegedly trying to “threaten” her over her upcoming memoir, “Rebel Rising.” Wilson, 44, posted a picture of a binder and a purple pen in an Instagram Story on Monday, writing: “I will not be bullied or silenced with high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers. The ‘a—hole’ that I am talking about in ONE CHAPTER of my book is Sasha Baron Cohen.” Wilson and Cohen worked together in 2016’s “The Brothers Grimsby,” which also starred Penélope Cruz, Sam Hazeldine and Cohen’s wife, Isla Fisher.

A spokesperson for Cohen, 52, issued a statement in response to Wilson’s claims later on Monday, which read: “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during, and after the production of ‘The Brothers Grimsby’.”

Wilson’s revelation comes days after she alleged an ‘A-list’ star (now identified as Cohen) hired a crisis PR firm and lawyers to hinder her book sales when she told the Cohen that she planned to dedicate a whole chapter to him. Wilson wrote in a now-deleted post: “now the a–hole is trying to threaten me. He’s hired a crisis PR manager and lawyers. He’s trying to stop press coming out about my new book.”

Wilson’s memoir, “Rebel Rising,” is currently set for release on April 2.

Beyonce arrives to the Grammy Awards 2015 on February 8^ 2015 in Los Angeles^ CA

Beyoncé revealed the cover art for her forthcoming album, Cowboy Carter, and posted a statement on social media, detailing how the country album came about. Beyoncé shared the cover art on Instagram, featuring her sitting sideways on a galloping white horse holding an American flag while dressed in a red, white and blue leather suit adorned by a sash that reads “COWBOY CARTER.”

Accompanied with the photo was a lengthy caption: “Today marks the 10-day countdown until the release of act ii. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of the supporters of TEXAS HOLD ‘EM and 16 CARRIAGES. I feel honored to be the first Black woman with the number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart. That would not have happened without the outpouring of support from each and every one of you. My hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist’s race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant.”

“This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive. It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history .. The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me. act ii is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work .. I have a few surprises on the album, and have collaborated with some brilliant artists who I deeply respect. I hope that you can hear my heart and soul, and all the love and passion that I poured into every detail and every sound.”

Beyoncé concluded: “I focused on this album as a continuation of RENAISSANCE…I hope this music is an experience, creating another journey where you can close your eyes, start from the beginning and never stop. This ain’t a Country album. This is a ‘Beyoncé’ album. This is act ii COWBOY CARTER, and I am proud to share it with y’all!”

Beyoncé announced that a new album was on its way during the Super Bowl in February, releasing the first two songs off the album at the time: “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.” “Texas Hold ‘Em” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

Richard Simmons reveals skin cancer diagnosis

Just days after going on Facebook to share a cryptic post about death and dying, Richard Simmons, 75, explained in a new message to his fans he was diagnosed with skin cancer.

The reclusive health guru wrote: “Mirror mirror on the wall what’s that blemish which is so small? There was this strange looking bump under my right eye. I had a tube of neosporin which I would put on I the morning and the evening….it was still there. It was time to call my dermatologist.” Simmons said that his dermatologist had to “scrape it and put it under the microscope,” and when the results came back about 20 minutes later, he was told he had “the C word.” Simmons said: “I asked him what kind of cancer and he said. Basel Cell Carcinoma. I told him to stop calling me dirty names. He laughed.” According to Simmons, his doctor explained he had to ‘burn my skin to remove the cancer cells. There was no numbing it just had to be done with a small instrument ..  It lasted about 30 minutes.”  In a second message, Simmons added, “..With a smile on his face, he said, ‘We got all the cancer cells out.’ I gave him a hug. We are not done yet I have to stitch your face up. It took about 45 Minutes and I was done. ‘I don’t want to see you back here again.’”

Simmons caused concern on Monday after the fitness legend had posted, “I have some news to tell you. Please don’t be sad. I am ….dying. Oh I can see your faces now. The truth is we all are dying. Every day we live we are getting closer to our death .. Why am I telling you this? Because I want you to enjoy your life to the fullest every single day. Get up in the morning and look at the sky… count your blessings and enjoy.” However, he later clarified: “Sorry many of you have gotten upset about my message today. Even the press has gotten in touch with me. I am not dying. It was a message about saying how we should embrace every day that we have. Sorry for this confusion.”
