Sean "Diddy" Combs is currently the subject of an ongoing federal criminal investigation, as reported by NBC News. A federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York is hearing evidence in connection with the investigation, although specific details have not been disclosed. The U.S. Attorney's Office declined to comment, while Combs' lawyers have not responded to requests for statements. Deadline has also confirmed the investigation. The investigation is progressing, with Combs and his legal team being formally notified of the grand jury last week. While Combs is considered a subject of the investigation, he has not yet received a target letter, indicating potential indictment. This news follows raids on Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami earlier this year. Combs has faced multiple controversies in recent months, including sexual assault allegations and a video showing him assaulting his then-girlfriend in 2016. These incidents have led to legal battles and repercussions in his professional life, including the loss of honors and business ventures.
