American rapper Diddy's private jet seen in Antigua amid home raids, rape charges

Antigua and Barbuda: The $60 million all-black private jet Love Air LLC Gulfstream 5 of renowned American rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs was seen in Antigua on Tuesday morning amid raids and rape accusations on the hip hop star.

The jet was spotted at Antigua's V.C. Bird International Airport Hangar after a dramatic day of raids at his Miami and Los Angeles residences. According to the reports, the raids were linked to a six-trafficking investigation ongoing against Diddy.

Despite sources capturing Diddy at Miami airport on Monday, insiders suggest that he may not have been on board. Meanwhile, as the Caribbean island of Antigua and Barbuda buzzes with the news of Diddy's private jet being grounded, the world is watching closely.

It is being said that the rapper's plane travelled from California to Antigua as the flight logs show it is shuttling between California: departing Sacramento Executive Airport Sunday at 5:30 PM PT, arriving at Palm Springs International Airport an hour later, following which it was seen in Antigua.

There is no indication yet if Diddy himself was on board the aircraft when it took off from the Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles at 9 AM on Monday. It's unknown when the jet landed in Antigua, though it appeared that the jet took off hours before both the rapper's homes in L.A. and Miami were raided.

Meanwhile, Combs' appearance at the Miami airport follows a report that his private jet landed in Antigua on Monday. In footage obtained by the outlet, the music mogul, 54, appeared to be pacing around freely with a cell phone in hand on Monday afternoon around 3 p.m. local time at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport.

The ongoing criminal investigation is a major escalation in the scrutiny of Combs, who has been the defendant in many sexual abuse lawsuits in recent months.

His ex-girlfriend, in November, sued him, alleging years of sexual abuse, including rape. The lawsuit stated that he forced her to have sex with male prostitutes while the rapper filmed them.

Then, in February, a music producer filed a lawsuit alleging that Diddy persuaded him to solicit prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them. Several other such allegations were made against the American rapper, and his lawyer denied all of them.

As Diddy's Love Air LLC Gulfstream 5 jet grounded in Antigua amid all these allegations, people took to Facebook to express their views on the situation.

"I have seen this plane here many times before. It is used for charter when he isn't using it, and the man is making money on his investment. Not sure what all the fuss is about. It brought other people," wrote a user named Ivor Davis.

Another user, Leey Track, took his side and said, "The man is free to go wherever he wants to. He is not a criminal. He is under investigation and not proven guilty."

"Not sure why he would be in Antigua when he was trying to leave out of Opa Locka Executive Airport yesterday on his private jet that never left Florida," said another user named Karen.
