Diddy was reportedly stopped by federal authorities at an airport in Miami just hours after Homeland Security raided two of his homes across the United States.
The embattled Bad Boy Records founder's whereabouts are currently unknown, although his private jet was tracked online to the Caribbean island of Antigua.
Shortly after federal agents raided his properties in Los Angeles and Miami, Diddy (real name Sean Combs) was spotted by TMZ pacing outside of Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on Monday afternoon (March 26).
According to their sources, Puffy was outside a customs office and was waiting to be joined by other people, who were apparently also being questioned by federal officials.
Information is still murky but TMZ claim Diddy boarded a separate private jet when Homeland Security arrived, but he is not thought to be currently under arrest or on the run.
Properties owned by Diddy were raided yesterday by Homeland Security as part of an ongoing investigation into the music mogul, who has been accused of sexual assault and sex trafficking, among other things.
Homeland Security confirmed the raids 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," they said.
Footage from a helicopter above the scene of the raids revealed several people in handcuffs, including Diddy's sons Justin and Christian Combs.
It was also reported by NBC News that several people have been interviewed by federal officials as part of the probe into Diddy.
While their identities have not been revealed, it is believed three women and one man were questioned. A further three subjects are due to be interviewed.
Diddy has yet to comment on the raids or the investigation.
The 54-year-old has, however, strongly denied all accusations relating to rape, sexual assault and sex trafficking.
Five lawsuits have been filed against Diddy in recent months accusing him of a variety of sex crimes.
The mogul settled the first suit which was filed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie last November though he denied any wrongdoing.
The most recent lawsuit came from producer Lil Rod who accused Diddy of being involved in sex trafficking, a shooting, soliciting minors for sex and distributing guns and drugs.
The Bad Boy boss vehemently denied the accusations in a statement through his attorney Shawn Holley.
"Lil Rod is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday," Holley told HipHopDX.
"His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines."
