That is a “rap.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs has taken his $61.5 million mega-mansion off the market after less than six months of being listed for sale.
Combs put the Beverly Hills behemoth on the market shortly before being apprehended and arrested on federal charges in New York City. Combs is currently housed in a detention facility in Brooklyn.
The 55-year-old hip-hop artist is awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking, racketeering, and fraud charges. Combs is also facing a barrage of civil suits alleging alarming sexual misconduct, the majority of which involve drug-fueled sex parties, some of which allegedly took place at the Beverly Hills mansion.
The three-time Grammy winner listed his Beverly Hills estate in September, about six months after federal agents raided it and Combs’ waterfront Miami home.
Page Six reported that the raids resulted in “significant property damage.” According to court filings, Combs’ lawyers filed a motion to suppress some of the evidence obtained during the raids last week, accusing authorities of lying to obtain their search warrants.
The Bad Boy Records mogul reportedly paid $39 million for this house in 2014. The 17,000-square-foot estate, located in Beverly Hills’ exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood, has ten bedrooms and thirteen bathrooms.
Previous listing photos of the property show oversized windows leading out to large outdoor areas surrounded by manicured lawns and tall hedges. The listing mentioned a spacious living room, a formal dining room, a chef’s kitchen, and a wine cellar. Other features include a 35-seat theater and a five-car garage.
The 1.3-acre property also features a two-story guest house with a recording studio, a basketball court, and a spa building.
Kylie Jenner and tech mogul Sean Parker live near the Holmby Hills home.
Combs’ new neighbors in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center include Sam Bankman-Fried, a convicted cryptocurrency entrepreneur.
In November, Combs received an offer on the home for half of the asking price. Bo Belmont, CEO of California-based real estate crowdfunding company Belwood Investments, made the $30 million lowball offer.
Perhaps buyers were wary of the home because of allegations of “freak offs” at Diddy’s properties. The Holmby Hills and Miami residences were raided in March 2024, revealing drugs, firearms, and more than 1,000 bottles of lube and baby oil.
Federal prosecutors allege that Combs sexually abused victims for at least two decades, from 2004 to 2024. If convicted, Combs faces at least 15 years in prison for sex trafficking, racketeering, and fraud.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges and denied the allegations made in the numerous civil lawsuits. Numerous lawsuits allege that Combs harmed and exploited people through drugs, alcohol, and abuse, including allegations of rape and assault.
Combs’ trial is currently scheduled to begin on May 5. One of his attorneys recently left his criminal case without explanation.
