That’s a “rap.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs has pulled his $61.5 million mega-mansion off the market after less than six months for sale.
Combs put the Beverly Hills behemoth on the market not long before he was apprehended and arrested on federal charges in New York City. Combs is currently residing at a detention center in Brooklyn.
The hip-hop artist, 55, is awaiting trial on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and fraud. Combs also faces a continuing barrage of civil suits with alarming sexual allegations largely revolving around drug-fueled sex parties, some of which allegedly took place at the Beverly Hills mansion.
Realtor.com first reported the listing update.
Specifically, the three-time Grammy winner listed his Beverly Hills estate in September, roughly six months after the residence, along with Combs’ waterfront Miami home, was raided by federal agents.
Page Six reported that the raids caused “significant property damage“. Combs’ lawyers sought to have some of the evidence obtained during the raids suppressed just last week, according to court filings, accusing authorities of lying to obtain their search warrants.
The Bad Boy Records mogul reportedly paid $39 million for this home in 2014. The 17,000-square-foot estate sits in the exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood of Beverly Hills, and includes 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms.
Previous listing photos of the property show oversized windows leading out to spacious outdoor areas, hemmed in by manicured lawns and tall hedges. The listing described a large living room, a formal dining room, a chef’s kitchen and a wine cellar. Other amenities include a 35-seat theater and a five-car garage.
The 1.3-acre property also includes a two-story guest house with a recording studio, a basketball court and a spa building.
The Holmby Hills home counts Kylie Jenner and tech mogul Sean Parker among its nearby neighbors.
Combs’ new neighbors in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center include convicted cryptocurrency entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried.
Combs did get an offer on the home in November — for half the asking price. Bo Belmont, CEO of California-based real estate crowdfunding firm Belwood Investments, made the $30 million lowball offer.
Perhaps buyers were wary of the home due to allegations of the “freak offs” hosted at Diddy’s properties. The March 2024 raids uncovered drugs, firearms and more than 1,000 bottles of lube and baby oil at the Holmby Hills and Miami residences.
Federal prosecutors allege that Combs sexually abused victims for at least two decades, spanning 2004 to 2024. If convicted, Combs faces a minimum of 15 years in prison for charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and fraud.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges and rejects accusations made in the many civil lawsuits. Numerous lawsuits claim that Combs harmed and exploited individuals with drugs, alcohol and abuse, and include accusations of rape and assault.
Combs’ trial is currently set to begin on May 5. One of his lawyers recently quit his criminal case without explanation.
