Diddy was spotted lounging by his pool in Miami on Friday after he posted a throwback music video where he evades police amid his ongoing sex-trafficking investigation.
The 54-year-old music producer – real name Sean Love Combs – appeared in high spirits as he chatted on the phone while relaxing at his Star Island mansion.
Donning an all-black outfit consisting of a T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers, the Grammy winner carried a bright orange towel, which he later wrapped around his shoulders.
The poolside retreat comes as Diddy raised eyebrows by taking to Instagram to share a snippet of his 1998 Victory music video, which depicts him running from a SWAT team.
The musician saw his Miami and LA homes swarmed by federal agents last month as part of an investigation into sex trafficking – with Combs branding the raids ‘militant’ and denying all allegations of wrongdoing.
So far, he has not been arrested in relation to 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 alongside the late The Notorious B.I.G.
The music video also features Danny DeVito, who remarks that Diddy’s character has evaded capture for years before the words ‘Most Wanted’ appear onscreen.
Diddy captioned the post: ‘Bad Boy for life.’
The Miami photos and the Instagram post come hours after news that Diddy’s son Christian ‘King’ Combs, 25, has been sued for allegedly sexually assaulting Grace O’Marcaigh, a woman working on a yacht his father chartered in the summer of 2022, according to court documents.
The lawsuit, filed on Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, further alleges that King engaged in sexual harassment and inflicted emotional distress.
Diddy is also implicated, accused of aiding and abetting his son.
The purported incident occurred 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 that King attempted to kiss and grope her after providing her with a shot of liquor she suspects was spiked.
TMZ also reported that O’Marcaigh has audio recordings of herself allegedly rebuffing his advances in the yacht’s studio and trying to evade him.
Subsequently, King purportedly tried to coerce O’Marcaigh into performing oral sex on him.
She provided photos showing bruises on her arm, which she alleges she sustained while resisting him and fleeing the situation.
After King and brother Justin, 30, were arrested last month during raids on their father’s Los Angeles and Miami homes, they have hired attorney Jeffrey Lichtman, accusing investigators of ‘excessive use of force’ during the arrest at the Holmby Hills, Los Angeles mansion.
King also broke his silence on Snapchat after the arrest, writing, ‘Stop with the [blue cap emoji],’ which translates to ‘Stop lying.’
The raids came after the Harlem-born hip-hop star was hit with a slew of lawsuits alleging sexual assault, rape, and other crimes after he settled his ex-girlfriend Cassie’s similar lawsuit in November.
‘Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation, and my legacy,’ Diddy wrote 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 did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth.’
The suit alleged he controlled and abused her for over 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.

Cassie and multiple other women who have sued him for sexual assault in recent months are reportedly cooperating with federal investigators as an alleged sex trafficking probe involving the hip hop mogul heats up.
Cassie has been working with investigators for ‘several weeks,’ sources with direct knowledge told TMZ on Wednesday.
The timing means that the 37-year-old singer may have even been working with feds in the run-up to the dual Homeland Security raids on the rapper-turned-executive’s Los Angeles and Miami mansions.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation said that Cassie may have helped authorities establish the probable cause needed to get a judge to sign off on search warrants on the two mansions.
