Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has put his LA mansion up for sale amid continuing legal troubles.
The rapper and mogul has listed the estate for an eye-watering $70 million, according to TMZ, after initially buying it in 2014 for $39 million.
His Los Angeles home was one of three properties raided by federal agents on March 26 amid sex trafficking allegations from two separate lawsuits. His Miami and New York residencies were also raided.
Homeland Security released the following 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.”

As the Californian property was being raided, his two sons Justin and Christian were spotted in handcuffs outside. It was later confirmed that they were not under arrest, instead they were being detained outside as agents searched the property.

According to an aerial view, the mansion comes with a sizeable backyard and pool. It reportedly also has a hot tub, a covered veranda for outdoor dinner parties, a fire pit station and a water slide. The rapper has been spotted working out inside his personal fitness studio, with state of the art cardio and weight lifting equipment as well as a flat screen television. It also has a 35-seat theater, a guest house, and a grotto connected via an underground tunnel, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times.

Neither of them have been paid off and the former is due to be repaid in full by August 2029, while the latter is due in May 2036.
Diddy currently faces eight different lawsuits against him. The latest of which was filed by Adria English, a former adult film star, who accused the mogul of grooming then coercing her into sexual intercourse with guests at parties he hosted, as well as making her consume alcohol and drugs.
She joins plaintiffs Joi Dickerson-Neal, Rodney Jones Jr, April Lampros, Crystal McKinney, and two other unnamed women. The rapper’s ex Cassie Ventura also filed a lawsuit against him, which was settled the day after.
