Federal agents have cast a wide net around Sean “Diddy” Combs and individuals believed to be involved with, or knowledgeable of, mounting claims against the embattled star.

With multiple cases accusing him of sexual misconduct and operating under illicit business pretenses, several electronics were seized from his Los Angeles and Miami homes, and reportedly directly from the 54-year-old himself, during simultaneous raids of residences and an encounter with law enforcement at a Florida airport on March 25. It's speculated officials were searching for incriminating evidence in association with the numerous lawsuits presented against the rapper.

Droves of Homeland Security personnel and local police gained entry into the disgraced mogul’s Holmbly Hills and Star Island estates, where items were retrieved as part of an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking allegations laid out in four different lawsuits filed in the Southern District of New York.

The agency released the following statement to the media: "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.”

As his homes were being raided as part of a search warrant execution, Diddy encountered law enforcement who seized his phones at the Miami-Opa-Locka Executive Airport, according to multiple reports. TMZ reports that he and his travel companions were stopped on the tarmac as they prepared to board a private flight for spring break.

The raids allegedly blindsided Diddy and his team. His sons Justin Combs and Christian Combs had reportedly been detained at the rapper’s L.A. mansion as the raid took place.

At least one of the former billionaire’s associates, Brendan Paul, was arrested at the same airport that day for possession of cocaine and marijuana. The Miami Herald reports Paul was freed on a $2,500 bond after being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

Paul is also labeled as an alleged “drug mule” for Diddy in a lawsuit filed by music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones. It is unclear at this time if Paul’s arrest is connected to the federal investigation.

CNN confirmed with law enforcement that Homeland Security Investigators were included in the pry into the entertainer's homes due to the nature of the investigation. The agency has a specialized branch that deals with effort
