Puff Daddy Goes Poof, Diddy’s Jet Flees U.S. As Homeland Security Storms LA And Miami Homes

Sean John Combs a.k.a Puff Daddy a.k.a P. Diddy, et al may have fled the country on his private jet. The Grammy Award-winning rap artist, who was estimated to have a net worth of $1 billion in 2022, has been sued multiple times for sexual assault. Now the government is after him for sex trafficking. The details of the government investigation haven’t been announced yet. However, Puff’s jet has gone poof out of the U.S.

Diddy’s Gulfstream G650 registered to LoveAir LLC flew from Sacramento to Palm Springs to Van Nuys and eventually to Antigua. However there are also reports that he was spotted at Miami-area Opa Locka Executive Airport on Monday. It wasn’t Diddy’s sons on the plane to Antigua, though, because they were arrested at the Beverly Hills home.

Could it be this?

Indeed there have been stories involving minors, apparently, for years.

The questions, I think, are (1) how did Diddy get tipped off, which led him to send his jet out of the country – even if he wasn’t on it, something he didn’t want in the U.S. was? And (2) how did the government fail to prevent him from doing so?

  1. At this point, I simply assume that everyone in the British Royal Family has cancer and everyone in Hollywood is a pedophile.

  2. After his plane flew out to Antigua, he was still seen at the Miami area airport.

    Antigua has an extradition treaty with the US and does MLAT work with the US.

    Some rumor had it that he was instead possibly heading to Cape Verde.

    The militarized raids of his homes seems made for TV.

    Some people should ask how the former President managed to not get subject to a search warrant for suspected human trafficking as part and parcel of sexual services. It wasn’t just Jeffrey Epstein — the party-mate of the former president — who flew females across state borders for the purpose of acquiring sexual services; “the former guy” did it too.

  3. Anything to do credit cards? Nope. Anything to do with points? Nope. Anything to do with miles? Nope. Anything to do with hotels? Nope. Anything to do with aviation at all besides knowing a man may or may not have gotten on a plane? Nope!

    VFTW moonlighting as the next NewsNation, Ebony, and US Weekly? Yep!

  4. This blog has always been about what is of interest to the blogger. That a celebrity has a plane and that DHS is involved is a story of interest for some but not for all. If not interested, an individual has the free will and ability to just skip the particular blog article and read a different one.

  5. If your going to allegedly commit sex crimes you probably shouldn’t name your
    LLC “LoveAir.”

  6. If Kevin Love — the basketball guy who is related to The Beach Boys — had a plane, then Love Air would be a natural nickname for it.

    [I am assuming Kevin Love still doesn’t have a plane of his own.]

  7. Big question here is Diddy do it?
    I think he would like to go poof & disappear but there may big consequences coming

  8. DHS/HSI raided at least two houses to find evidence to use against the owner of the houses. That means trouble for the owner even if the search for physical and electronic/digital evidence were to miraculously end in a complete dead-end for federal law enforcement investigators.

  9. In related airport news:

    “ A 25-year-old man accused in a recent lawsuit of being Sean Combs’ drug “mule” was arrested on Monday on cocaine and marijuana possession charges, according to arrest records obtained by Rolling Stone.

    Brendan Paul was taken into custody by Miami-Dade police on Monday afternoon at Opa-Locka Airport around 4:30 p.m. Police were working alongside Homeland Security agents when the arrest was made, according to the arrest affidavit.”

  10. Homeland Security Investigations is “the principal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, responsible for investigating transnational crime and threats, specifically those criminal organizations that exploit the global infrastructure through which international trade, travel and finance move. HSI’s mission is to investigate, disrupt and dismantle terrorist, transnational and other criminal organizations that threaten or seek to exploit the customs and immigration laws of the United States.

    ……

    “HSI has broad legal authority to conduct federal criminal investigations into the illegal cross-border movement of people, goods, money, technology and other contraband throughout the United States. HSI utilizes these authorities to investigate a wide array of transnational crime, including: terrorism; national security threats; narcotics smuggling; transnational gang activity; child exploitation; human smuggling and trafficking; illegal exports of controlled technology and weapons; money laundering; financial fraud and scams; worksite and employment crimes; cybercrime; intellectual property theft and trade fraud; identity and benefit fraud; and human rights violations and war crimes.

    “In collaboration with its strategic partners in the U.S. and abroad, HSI special agents gather evidence to identify and build criminal cases against Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs), terrorist networks and facilitators, and other criminal elements that threaten the United States. HSI works with prosecutors to indict and arrest violators, execute criminal search warrants, seize criminally derived money and assets, and take other actions designed to disrupt and dismantle criminal organizations operating around the world. These efforts protect U.S. national, border, and economic security, and ensure the safety of the public and our communities.”

  11. The thing we should be upset with is the government committing an act of terror by breaking into a private residence with weapons of war. That act alone makes the government the evildoer and perpetrator here. Unless there is credible evidence someone is being held hostage in a home, there is no excuse for an armed raid. This is disgusting. Every participant in this raid is doing evil because they have the option to say this is an abuse of power and it’s their duty not to commit abuses that put citizens in danger.

    The problem with the word human trafficking is it has been misapplied and twisted to include prostitution. That’s not human trafficking. Consent is consent. At the same time the government ignores millions of illegals being trafficked or millions of violent criminals roaming cities.

  12. This story belongs on “The National Enquirer’ or whatever those sensationalism mags are called. Well okay, one comment: I wish I had a billion dollars.

  13. Maybe an artistic subculture that romanticizes pimps and gangsters isn’t such a good idea.

  14. @ David Arnett. David, you’re using wisdom and logic in a world now operating under “feelings.” Just stop it before others start doing it thus causing them to be accountable for their words and actions.

  15. I look forward to reading the article when Trump does the same.
    We all know it’s coming. It won’t be as shock.
    He won’t pay his fees and fines (as he rarely does), and we all know he won’t allow himself to serve a day in prison.
    I’d bet dollars to donuts that Trump Jet is always topped off with jet fuel and a route is handy to non-extradition countries.
    Ecuador is well within range of a 757-200.
    With that range of over 4000 miles, he could skedaddle after any rally anywhere in the continental USA.

  16. The only reason you’d be at Opa Locka Airport in Miami is to hop on a *chartered* flight….
