Former Syracuse basketball player who was detained on drug charges after allegedly acting as a “mule” for Sean “Diddy” Combs
The sports world has learned about the most recent raid on musician and producer Sean “Diddy” Combs’ residence.
Charges of marijuana possession were brought against a former Syracuse basketball player on Monday in Miami. The guy is suspected of acting as a “mule” for Combs.
Charges against 25-year-old Brendan Paul included both cocaine and restricted drug possession. Paul was identified as Diddy’s “mule” in the lawsuit, which also stated that the former basketball player would get drugs and weapons for the rapper.
Fox News Digital reported that Homeland Security agents raided Diddy’s Los Angeles residence on Monday. At his Miami residence, agents were also observed.
Fox News received confirmation from a U.S. official that the raids on Diddy’s residences are related to a federal investigation into human trafficking. It’s unclear if the federal agents’ probe is focused on the rapper.
Due to accusations of rape and abuse, Diddy’s ex-wife, music icon Cassie, filed a lawsuit against the artist in November. She said that Diddy forced her to have sex with male prostitutes while he watched and recorded, that she was raped in her own house, and that she endured “over a decade” of his “violent behavior and disturbed demands”.
Cassie and Sean reached a friendly agreement the day after she filed the claim, and she decided to withdraw the complaint.
Paul and Diddy collaborated in studios on Paul’s most recent album, “The Love Album: Off the Grid,” as per a Facebook post.
In his walk-on seasons as a freshman and sophomore, he appeared in just 17 games for the Orange before transferring to Fairmont State University, where he participated in 35 games.
In 1993, Diddy established Bad Boy Entertainment, which went on to create some of the greatest rappers of the decade, such as Craig Mack, The Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans, Mase, and 112.
The firm had a long-standing rivalry with “Death Row Records,” which sparked the notorious East Coast-West Coast rap rivalry that ultimately led to the unsolved deaths of B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur within a six-month period.
