Sean 'Diddy' Combs In Central Park Just Hours Before He Was Arrested By The Feds

Posted • September 18, 2024: Sean 'Diddy' Combs was pictured kicking back in Central Park before walking the streets of New York City with his son Christian Combs just hours before he was arrested in a Manhattan hotel room late last night. The rapper, clad in a long black coat over a black t-shirt with gray sweatpants and grey sneakers, was seen flashing smiles and posing for selfies with several adoring fans as he wandered the streets of midtown Manhattan, seemingly unbothered by the looming arrest and ensuing legal woes. Christian, Combs' 26-year-old son who performs under the moniker 'King Combs', was clad in a plush gray sweat suit with a grey t-shirt and white sneakers and spent quality time with his father before the rapper was arrested by Homeland Security officials on Monday evening.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said Combs, 54, was apprehended in connection with a Southern District of New York-issued sealed indictment - but federal officials said they will ask a judge to unseal the indictment today. Combs, also known as Diddy and Puff Daddy, has been in the limelight for most of the past year after he settled a lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in November of 2023, in which she claimed he engaged in sex trafficking and abused her. A video of him attacking her in 2016 in a Los Angeles hotel room circulated this past May, leading him to say that he'd 'hit rock bottom' and made 'no excuses' for his 'inexcusable' conduct depicted in the clip, adding that he takes 'full responsibility.'
