Who is Diddy’s Alleged 'Drug Mule' Arrested During Monday's Federal Raids?

While Sean “Diddy” Combs’ avoided arrest during Monday’s raid by federal agents on his Los Angeles and Miami homes, his alleged “drug mule” wasn’t so lucky.
Brendan Paul was arrested at Miami Opa Locka Executive Airport around the same time of the raids, according to Rolling Stone. He was charged with felony counts of possession of cocaine and possession of a controlled substance.
Paul was arrested and charged after Diddy’s private plane was intercepted by federal agents at the airport. The substances with which he was found were not connected to Diddy.
Paul’s assumed role as Diddy’s “drug mule” is a result of Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ February lawsuit in which Jones claims that Combs threatened, drugged, and sexually harassed him.
In the lengthy 73-page complaint, which can be read here, Jones also claims that he recorded audio and video of Diddy and his staff engaging in “illegal activity.” Many on social media believe that Usher and Meek Mill were referenced in the suit.
In the complaint, Jones alleged that Paul “acquires and distributes Mr. Combs guns and drugs.”
Jones also claimed that he witnessed Paul bring illegal drugs onto flights between Miami, Los Angeles, Virginia, London and the Caribbean on multiple occasions during his time with Diddy.
Paul, 25, played basketball at Syracuse University for two seasons. As a walk-on, Paul only appeared in 16 games during his freshman and sophomore years and averaged 0.2 points per game.
After his sophomore year, he transferred to Fairmount State University, where he played two more seasons. Then someone he ended up becoming one of Diddy’s closest confidents—which has only left the Internet scratching its head over what a 50-something old rap mogul and a twenty-something boy from New York could have in common.
