Famous rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been arrested as part of a human trafficking investigation.

Famous rapper and music producer Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested in New York as part of a federal human trafficking investigation. The 54-year-old Combs was detained on Monday night at the Park Hyatt New York hotel by the Department of Homeland Security Investigations.

Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that Combs was arrested based on a sealed indictment. The details of the charges have not been disclosed yet, but the indictment is expected to be unsealed at a hearing in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday morning.

This arrest is seen as the culmination of serious allegations that have been made against Combs in recent months. His ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, filed a lawsuit against Combs last November, accusing him of years of domestic and sexual violence. Although this case was quickly resolved, many other women subsequently came forward with similar allegations.

Combs' homes in Beverly Hills and Miami were searched by Homeland Security last month. These searches are believed to be part of a sex trafficking investigation.

The allegations include drug use, rape, non-consensual production of sexual content, and engaging in forced relationships with sex workers. Combs has denied all allegations except for the lawsuit with Ventura, claiming that the accusers are seeking financial gain.

These developments are dealing a serious blow to Combs' career and reputation, as he was one of the most influential figures in the hip-hop world in the 1990s and 2000s. The results of the investigation are expected to have a significant impact on the music industry as well.
