Brendan Paul, the man arrested at a Florida airport earlier this week and who had been accused of being Sean “Diddy“ Combs’ “drug mule,” is a former Syracuse University men’s basketball player.

The February lawsuit brought against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs by producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones is not the first time the rapper was sued for sexual misconduct.

In November, the singer Cassie, a protege of Combs, sued him. She claimed he engaged in years of sex abuse toward her, including rape. In the lawsuit, she claimed he forced her to have sex with male prostitutes and filmed the acts.

The suit was settled on the day after it was filed.

“I did not do any of the awful things being alleged,” Combs said after the November lawsuit.

Combs has also denied the allegations in the February lawsuit.

Firearms were reportedly found by federal agents searching Sean “Diddy” Combs’ properties in LA and Miami, according to sources who spoke to NBC News.

The type of firearms allegedly found and the legal owners of the firearms is unknown as of this report.

Federal agents searched the properties on Monday.

Combs is a defendant in a lawsuit allegeing that he was involved in drug trafficking. He has denied all allegeations and has called the federal raid a “witch hunt.”

Right-wing media figure Charlie Kirk invoked Jeffrey Epstein, the shamed, now-dead financier who sexually abused minors, in a conspiratorial rant about a lawsuit involving Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who sued Combs in February, alleged in court filings that the rapper installed “hundreds” of hidden cameras in his various homes.

Kirk theorised that the cameras may have been a way for Combs to collect blackmail material on famous figures attending his parties. He suggested Combs may have evidence of “Barack Obama,” “LeBron James” and “Justin Bieber” doing things they “shouldn’t have been doing.”

Combs has denied all of the allegations in the lawsuit.

Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who sued Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in February, alleged in court filings that the rapper installed “hundreds” of hidden cameras in his various homes.

“While living and traveling with Mr. Combs, Mr. Jones discovered that Mr. Combs had hidden cameras in every room of his home,” the court filing says.

Combs has denied the allegations in Mr Jones’ lawsuit.

Federal authorities raided Combs’ LA mansion on Monday. Combs has not been charged with a crime and was not detained.
