Following the raids of his Los Angeles and Miami properties by Homeland Security agents last week, the spotlight has become a bit brighter for Sean “Diddy” Combs as well as his associates.

Since November 2023, he has faced five civil lawsuits alleging rape, sex trafficking, physical abuse and soliciting and distributing narcotics. To somehow make matters worse, TMZ reported that subpoenas are starting to be issued to Combs’ businesses.

In the lawsuit against him from producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, several celebrities were named who allegedly engaged in illegal behavior alongside Combs. Jones accused Cuba Gooding Jr. of groping him in a “makeshift studio” last year and that Yung Miami was Combs’ sex worker.

Will Combs’ high-profile friends finally speak out against the disgraced star? According to the Daily Mail, Ashton Kutcher is reportedly expecting to be subpoenaed as part of the sex trafficking investigation into Combs. Considering his slew of celebrity friends runs deep, they could know about the extent of his alleged crimes.

Everyone from 50 Cent to former Bad Boy artist Ma$e have commented on Diddy’s harrowing situation, but few have offered up any kind of pertinent information. Former ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez and rapper Shyne—who got caught up in a 1999 club shooting with Diddy—may have something pertinent to say.

Fat Joe only offered prayers to Combs instead of discussing the nature of the allegations against him and their possible validity. Other incredibly quiet celebs who’ve had close relationships with Combs include: Justin Bieber, Lil’ Kim, Mariah Carey, Usher, Rick Ross and DJ Khaled.

Many folks may be afraid to say anything incrimination about Combs. However, the developments against the mogul are moving pretty quickly and it just may be a matter of time before some of his confidantes start speaking out.
