Brendan Paul, a 25-year-old former Syracuse guard recently accused in a lawsuit of being Sean 'Diddy' Combs' drug "mule," was arrested on Monday on charges of cocaine and marijuana possession, according to records obtained by Rolling Stone.

Miami-Dade police apprehended Diddy mule Paul at Opa-Locka Airport around 4:30 PM, with assistance from Homeland Security agents.

His attorney, Brian Bieber, stated that all legal matters would be addressed in court, refraining from media discussions.

Simultaneously, a federal sex trafficking investigation involving Sean Combs unfolded, marked by Homeland Security-led raids on his properties in Miami and Los Angeles.

This operation followed several civil lawsuits against Combs, although it remains unclear if the raids are directly tied to these allegations.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs, reportedly in Florida during the raids, had his phones seized by officials before a scheduled trip to the Caribbean.

Diddy mule Paul's arrest is believed to have a connection to a lawsuit filed by music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones against Sean Combs.

In this suit, Jones accused Paul of facilitating Combs' drug-related activities.

Arresting officers found contraband in Brendan Paul Diddy's mule's possession, leading to his detainment at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on charges of cocaine possession and possession of a controlled substance.

Allegations of Sex Trafficking and Drug Trafficking in Lawsuit

Jones collaborated with Sean 'Diddy' Combs on "The Love Album: Off the Grid," producing nine tracks between September 2022 and November 2023.

According to Jones, Sean Combs mandated him and Brendan Paul to carry firearms and engage in drug trafficking.

The lawsuit implicates Kristina Khorram in orchestrating various illicit activities, including drug trafficking and procuring sex workers for Combs, USA Today reports.

Jones alleges the involvement of celebrities like Yung Miami and producer Stevie J in Combs' affairs.

Yung Miami, among others, purportedly received monthly payments for providing sexual services to Combs.

The lawsuit also implicates Yung Miami's cousin in a sexual assault incident involving Jones during a gathering in 2022.

Additionally, it accuses Stevie J of recruiting sex workers for Combs and participating in "freak-offs," which refer to sexual encounters with sex workers.

Federal Investigation Intensifies Amid Allegations

A Department of Homeland Security officer revealed that the investigation into Combs has been active for weeks, focusing on various allegations, particularly concerning sex trafficking, Fox News noted.

The officer emphasized that the investigation was prompted by concrete and detailed allegations, not random suspicion.

Allegations against Sean 'Diddy' Combs surfaced publicly after his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, filed a federal civil suit in November, followed by three more suits alleging sexual assault.

During Monday's raids on Combs' residences, authorities confiscated electronic devices and other potential evidence, hoping to uncover communications relevant to the investigation.

The multi-agency investigation, led by the US attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, is intensifying as officials delve deeper into the allegations against Sean Combs.

Despite these developments, Sean' Diddy' Combs' attorney has not responded to requests for comment, emphasizing that the investigation is based on substantial evidence and not unfounded accusations.
