A former Syracuse basketball player, Brendan Paul, aged 25, was arrested in Miami on Monday on drug charges. Paul is accused of working as a 'mule' for rapper and producer Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The charges against Paul include possession of cocaine and possession of a controlled substance. The lawsuit alleges that Paul acted as Diddy's 'mule,' acquiring guns and drugs for the rapper.
Homeland Security officials raided Diddy's Los Angeles home on Monday, with agents also seen at his Miami residence. These raids are part of a federal human trafficking investigation, as confirmed by a U.S. official. It remains unclear whether Diddy himself is the primary target of this federal investigation.
In a separate incident from November, Diddy's ex-wife, music star Cassie, filed a lawsuit against the musician. The lawsuit accuses Diddy of rape and abuse, claiming that he subjected her to 'over a decade' of violent behavior and disturbing demands. Cassie further alleges that Diddy forced her to engage in sexual activities with male prostitutes while he watched and filmed.
