Sean "Diddy" Combs shared a video on his Instagram Stories of him boarding his private jet amid reports of an ongoing criminal investigation.

His recent post comes after he wiped his entire Instagram account clean, including removing an apology video to his ex-girlfriend, Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura.

Diddy's legal troubles have continued to pile up as he was recently accused of coercing a woman, Adria English, into sexual acts, promising career advancement but instead allegedly blackballing her from the industry.

English is the eighth person to sue Diddy in nine months, following accusations from Cassie and others.

Early Saturday morning, Diddy posted a video on his Instagram Stories showing him boarding a sleek, black private jet.

The camera then focuses on a rug labeled "Combs Air," indicating that the music producer was boarding his own plane rather than a chartered one.

Diddy's late-night departure follows reports from multiple sources to NBC News earlier this week confirming that he is currently under criminal investigation, with charges expected soon.

This week, Diddy faced new allegations in a lawsuit filed by Adria English. She claimed that in 2004, she and her then-boyfriend were asked to perform oral sex on the "Last Night" rapper to secure her boyfriend a modeling job with Sean John, Diddy's lifestyle company.

English also alleged that while working for Diddy at his parties, he "forced sexual intercourse" with famous jeweler Jacob Arabo.

According to TMZ, English claimed she worked for Diddy, believing he would help advance her music career. However, she alleged that he used her aspirations against her, threatening to blackball her from the industry.

She also claimed to suffer emotional trauma, including intimacy issues and painful memories, as a result of the alleged sex trafficking. She is seeking unspecified damages.

English is the eighth person to file a lawsuit against Diddy in the past nine months. In November 2023, his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura ignited a wave of accusations by alleging rape and abuse during their nearly decade-long relationship.

Following Cassie's claims, several others came forward with allegations of sexual assault, including Diddy's former producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones. Jones alleged that Diddy repeatedly sexually assaulted him, groping his genitals and touching his anus to groom him for sex. Diddy has denied all accusations against him.

In a statement, Diddy's attorney, Jonathan Davis, stated that "no matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won't change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone."

He added, "We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason and without any proof. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail against these and other baseless claims in court."

A second source mentioned that investigators are meticulously ensuring that any potential indictment is "bulletproof."

Diddy is ready to bid farewell to Los Angeles as he attempts to sell his extravagant Holmby Hills mansion.

Sources close to the situation told TMZ that the disgraced rap mogul is seeking an off-market sale for a whopping $70 million, a $30 million higher price than he initially paid for the pad in 2014.

The Holmby Hills mansion spans 17,000 square feet and boasts eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a 35-seat theater, a gym, a wine room, and a 3,000-square-foot guest house.

The property also includes outdoor amenities such as a lagoon-style pool with an underwater swimming tunnel, a basketball half-court, and meticulously maintained gardens.

Despite being over a decade old, the "I'll Be Missing You" rapper has updated the home's interior with modern finishes. However, insiders say the high asking price and the home's history may present challenges in securing a buyer.
