Federal agents searched two properties belonging to rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs on Monday as part of an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking allegations involving the hip-hop mogul.

The federal raid is the latest spotlight cast on Combs on the heels of multiple sexual abuse and sex trafficking allegations filed against him in recent months.

In a statement pertaining to Monday's raid of Combs' Los Angeles and Miami properties, Homeland Security Investigations said it “executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners," the Associated Press reported.

Combs' lawyers have reportedly not yet responded to requests for comment. It's unknown whether the rapper himself was present during the raids.

Diddy's history of sexual assault allegations

The rapper has been the subject of several recent sexual assault allegations in recent months.

His former girlfriend, R&B singer Casandra Ventura, known professionally as Cassie, filed a sex trafficking and sexual assault lawsuit against Combs in November, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY. The pair began a professional and sexual relationship when Ventura and Combs were 19 and 37 years old, respectively.

Days after Ventura's accusations, a woman named Joi Dickerson-Neal filed a lawsuit against Combs alleging she was drugged, sexually assaulted and abused, and was the victim of "revenge porn."

A music producer who worked with Combs on his most recent record, "The Love Album: Off the Grid," sued him in February, accusing the rapper of "engaging in serious illegal activity" including sexual assault.

Here's everything to know about the performer and producer.
