Diddy relaxes by his Miami pool after posting 1998 Victory music video clip that depicts him running from police – amid sexual trafficking probe and multiple mounting lawsuits
Diddy was spotted lounging by his pool in Miami on Friday after posting a throwback music video of himself evading police amid his ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
The 54-year-old music producer – real name Sean Love Combs – appeared cheerfully as he chatted on the phone while relaxing in his Star Island mansion.
The Grammy winner wore an all-black outfit consisting of a T-shirt, shorts and sneakers and carried a bright orange towel, which he later wrapped around his shoulders.
The poolside retreat comes as Diddy raised eyebrows by making his move Instagram to share a clip from his 1998 Victory music video, which shows him running from a SWAT team.
The musician saw his homes in Miami and LA overrun by federal agents last month as part of a sex trafficking investigation – with Combs labeling the raids as “militant” and denying all allegations of wrongdoing.

So far, he has not been arrested in connection with the raids, nor has he been charged with any crime.
In the clip, Puff Daddy, as he was known when Victory was released in 1997, raps with the late The Notorious B.I.G.
The music video also features Danny DeVito, who notes that Diddy’s character spent years dodging the shot before the words “Most Wanted” appear on screen.
Diddy captioned the post: “Bad Boy for life.”
The Miami photos and Instagram post come hours after news that Diddy’s son Christian “King” Combs, 25, has been charged for allegedly sexually abusing Grace O’Marcaigh, a woman who worked on a yacht his father owned in the summer of 2022, according to court documents.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, further alleges King engaged in sexual harassment and inflicted emotional distress.
Diddy is also involved, accused of aiding and abetting his son.
The alleged incident took place in late December of that year, just before Diddy hosted a star-studded yacht party on New Year’s Eve.
According to TMZ, O’Marcaigh claims King tried to kiss and grope her after giving her a shot of liquor that she suspects had liquor added to it.

TMZ also reported that O’Marcaigh has audio recordings of herself allegedly rejecting his advances in the yacht’s studio and trying to avoid him.
King then tried to force O’Marcaigh to perform oral sex on him.
She provided photos showing bruises on her arm, which she said she suffered while resisting him and fleeing the situation.
After King and brother Justin, 30, were arrested last month during raids on their father’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami, they have hired attorney Jeffrey Lichtman, who accuses investigators of “excessive use of force” during the arrest at the Holmby mansion Hills, LA. .
King also broke his silence on Snapchat after the arrest, writing, “Stop the (blue cap emoji),” which translates to “Stop lying.”
In a statement after the raids, Diddy’s lawyer Aaron Dyer called them an “unprecedented ambush” and a “witch hunt” against the businessman.
The raids came after the Harlem-born hip-hop star was hit with a slew of lawsuits for sexual assault, rape and other crimes after settling his ex-girlfriend Cassie’s similar lawsuit in November.
‘Enough is enough. Over the past few weeks, I have sat and watched as people tried to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,” Diddy wrote on December 6 in his only statement on the matter.
“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I have not done any of the horrible things alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
The indictment alleged that he controlled and abused her for more than a decade, as well as plying her with drugs, beating her and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes while he watched and recorded.

Combs was sued on November 16 by singer Cassie, who accused him of rape and physical abuse before the case was settled out of court.
Cassie and several other women who have sued him for sexual assault in recent months are reportedly cooperating with federal investigators as an alleged sex trafficking investigation involving the hip-hop mogul heats up.
Cassie has been working with investigators for “several weeks,” sources with direct knowledge say TMZ on Wednesday.
The timing means the 37-year-old singer may even have cooperated with the FBI in the lead-up to the twin Homeland Security raids on the rapper’s mansions in Los Angeles and Miami.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation said Cassie may have helped authorities establish the probable cause needed to get a judge to sign the search warrants for the two mansions.
