Who is P Diddy? The music mogul charged with sex trafficking crimes

Over the years, Sean Combs has worn various hats. First he was Puffy, then Puff Daddy, then P Diddy, then Diddy, then Swag, then Puff Daddy again, and most recently Love. He is a rapper, producer, label executive, actor, restaurateur and businessman. But his latest label is far less flattering. As of this week, Combs is officially a man in court, accused of sexual trafficking.

Back in March, properties believed to belong to Combs were raided by US law enforcement “in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation,” according to Fox 11 news reports. The news came months after the rapper was accused of multiple incidents of sexual assault, including more than 15 years’ worth of physical, sexual, and mental abuse towards his ex-girlfriend, American singer-songwriter Cassie.
