Flight tracking data indicated that the jet landed in Antigua on Monday evening.

According to celebrity news outlet TMZ, the jet was “grounded” in Antigua.

“The plane is currently grounded there, although the flight data has yet to update and register him as having officially landed. In any case, it’s definitely Diddy’s jet … no question,” they reported.

A few hours earlier on Monday, TMZ filmed the rapper at the Miami airport. But sources say it is unlikely that Diddy himself actually flew to Antigua.

The island’s authorities have not yet disclosed any information, but up until Tuesday morning, the jet was parked at the V. C. Bird International Airport.

Allegations of sexual assault

On Monday, two properties belonging to Diddy in Los Angeles and Miami were searched by federal Homeland Security Investigations agents and other law enforcement as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

“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,” a Homeland Security Investigations representative said in a statement to PEOPLE.

Furthermore, FOX11 aired footage showing the musician’s sons, Justin Combs, aged 30, and Christian ‘King’ Combs, aged 25, in handcuffs outside their Beverly Hills residence. It’s unclear whether or not they were taken into police custody.

Since November 2023, five individuals have accused Combs of sexual assault. The allegations began when Combs’ former girlfriend, singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura filed a lawsuit against him, alleging rape, sex trafficking, and domestic violence. They settled the following day.

Subsequently, another woman, identified as Liza Gardner, claimed that Combs and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall had sexually assaulted her and a friend in New York City over 30 years ago. The next day, Combs faced allegations of sexual assault from Joi Dickerson-Neal in a lawsuit filed in the New York County Supreme Court.

In the following month, a fourth person accused Combs of sexual assault, also alleging sex trafficking and gang rape.

Music producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones also filed a lawsuit in New York federal court on Feb. 27, claiming that Combs had sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him over a period of more than a year. Jones is seeking $30 million in damages.
