P Diddy Raid Predicted Months Ago

Back in 2023 a psychic and a former manager of Death Row Records predicted that properties belonging to Sean "Diddy" Combs would eventually be raided—and now clips of their predictions are circulating online.

On Monday afternoon investigators with the Department of Homeland Security executed search warrants at Combs' homes in Miami and Los Angeles. These raids are being tied to sex-trafficking allegations leveled by different plaintiffs in recent months, The Associated Press reported, citing law enforcement sources.

While the news is a shock to some, last year celebrity astrologist and psychic medium Sloan Bella predicted that Combs would experience a "complete takedown" in March of 2024 for his alleged crimes.

During a December appearance on YouTube channel Bomb 1st, Reggie Wright Jr., the former manager of Death Row Records, said Combs' properties would eventually be raided. Then in February this year, he said criminal investigations would soon be opened.

Newsweek messaged Bella via Instagram and contacted Bomb 1st via its website for comment on Tuesday.

"Watch for March 2024, March/April, Easter time frame…I don't know what that means, I don't know what's happening there but it might be nothing but that's what I just heard," Bella said in a video that is being circulated on X, formerly Twitter.

"I am seeing something by March with P Diddy, another level of this, we're not done," she said. "It's like he's going to have to keep putting tarps over the hole in the roof because the rain keeps coming through.

"So just when he thinks he covered up the hole, another hole starts down there. When he thinks he's covered that hole another hole starts over there, so it's not going to stop."

In another clip shared online, Bella said Combs is being sacrificed by other people in the music industry.

"They're going to stitch [Combs'] mouth shut…when I ask…why his mouth is being sewn up it's because of his mentors and they don't want it coming out over here even though some of these guys are outing themselves," she claimed.

Bella added: "[Combs] might think he gets away with stuff, he might think it's cool he does what he does but now he's the sacrificial lamb."

On December 13, Wright Jr. predicted that properties belonging to Combs—also known as Puff Daddy, Puffy, and Brother Love—would eventually be searched.

"I wouldn't be surprised if some storages or some of Puffy's properties be getting raided real soon 'cos they need to get to those tapes," he said during an appearance on Bomb 1st. "They get one of those tapes of him with those little people that's been making the accusations."

Then on February 24, he said in another video posted to YouTube: "Now you going to start seeing some criminal investigations getting opened because when you get too much of the smoke, law enforcement generally gets involved, so that'll be the next thing that will be happening to Puffy."

After the raid on Combs' properties Monday, Homeland Security Investigations told Newsweek in a statement: "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."

In a statement shared with Newsweek, Combs' attorney, Aaron Dyer, denied all allegations and criticized the raid.

"Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs' residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities," he said.

"Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way. This unprecedented ambush—paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence—leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name."

In recent months, music producer Combs has faced several legal battles, with lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and trafficking.

Last month, a music producer filed a lawsuit accusing Combs of coercing him to solicit prostitutes and then pressure him to have sex with them. The producer, Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones, alleges in the lawsuit that he was sexually harassed, drugged and threatened by Combs for more than a year. Jones produced several tracks on Combs' The Love Album: Off the Grid and seeks $30 million in damages.

Combs' attorney Shawn Holley has disputed the allegations, previously telling Newsweek that "we have overwhelming, indisputable proof that his claims are complete lies."

In a separate case, Combs' ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, sued him in November, alleging years of sexual abuse. The lawsuit, which accused Combs of forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes while he filmed, was settled the day after it was filed.

Combs was hit with another lawsuit in December over allegations that he trafficked and sexually abused a woman identified as Jane Doe. The suit accuses Combs of "gang rape" and sex trafficking.

Combs' lawyer previously denied these claims in a statement shared with Newsweek.

"These are fabricated claims falsely alleging misconduct from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute," the statement read. "This is nothing but a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs' fame and success, he is an easy target for anonymous accusers who lie without conscience or consequence for financial benefit. The New York Legislature surely did not intend or expect the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited by scammers. The public should be skeptical and not rush to accept these bogus allegations."
