Over the course of his successful career, Sean 'Diddy' Combs has made multiple visits to the United Kingdom. However, the recent allegations against him have caused a stir in the UK, as the investigating team is now actively searching for potential victims in the country.
Currently, the 54-year-old music mogul is being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He is also reportedly on suicide watch and has been denied bail twice. In March, his Los Angeles mansion was raided, and authorities found evidence of supplies intended for use in orgies, including drugs and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil.
Combs has been a frequent visitor to the UK over the last three decades, and flight records have revealed his extensive travel history to the country. With this information in hand, authorities are not ruling out the possibility of other accusers coming forward in the UK.
A source from the US shared with The Mirror, "Wherever he went, the team is now following. Outside of the States, he enjoyed no place more than the UK." The insider added, "Given the significant amount of time he spent in London, there are concerns that the alleged offenses were not limited to America's shores. Prosecutors are urging anyone in the UK with information that could help the investigation to come forward."
Combs has always been vocal about his love for the UK. He visited multiple times between 2008 and 2010 while shooting and promoting the film 'Get Him to the Greek'. The movie's star, Russell Brand, who has also faced allegations of sexual assault, previously spoke highly of Combs, saying, "He looked after me, he took me on an enforced holiday to Vegas."
The allegations against Combs date back to 2008, but he has denied all claims made against him. In 2010, he visited London again, just three months after his previous visit, to launch his fashion brand. At an event for Sean John, he expressed his love for the city, saying, "I have always enjoyed traveling throughout Europe, and London truly feels like a second home to me."
In May 2017, Combs visited the UK with his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and took her to a high-end restaurant in Mayfair. Years later, Ventura became one of the women to file a lawsuit against him, accusing him of manipulating and coercing her into a sexual and romantic relationship. In May, CCTV footage was leaked showing Combs assaulting Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016. He issued a statement the following day, expressing his disgust at his behavior.
Combs' fans have raised concerns about his past friendship with Justin Bieber. Several interview clips and interactions involving the rapper have resurfaced since his arrest, along with warning signs posted by other celebrities over the years. One interview from 1999 with 'Entertainment Tonight' has been particularly eerie, as Combs seemed to predict his own arrest. He said, "They won't even give me a permit for the parties anymore, but we're gonna keep having fun, bringing people together from all walks of life." He continued, "You're gonna hear about my parties, they're gonna be shutting them down, they'll probably be arresting me for all types of crazy things just because we wanted to have a good time."
Concerns were also raised about Combs' friendship with Bieber, with the rapper promising the 15-year-old lavish gifts and joking about having "custody" of him. He also made shocking claims about "locking up" women at his "kinky" parties, and Ashton Kutcher hinted at a "lot he can't tell" about partying with Combs.
Since his arrest, Combs' legal representative, Marc Agnifilo, has continuously maintained his client's innocence and has vowed to "fight like hell" to get him out on bail. However, the judge has denied bail, expressing concerns about obstruction of justice and witness tampering. Combs will remain in jail until his trial.
