Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly planning to sell his Holmby Hills mansion in Los Angeles for approximately $70 million, according to sources close to the situation. TMZ reports that the rap mogul is attempting to sell the property off-market for nearly double the $40 million he paid for it in 2014.
The decision to sell comes in the wake of a high-profile raid by Homeland Security in March, during which agents searched the property for evidence related to alleged human trafficking and other crimes. The incident has reportedly left Diddy with “bad memories” associated with the mansion.
Sources indicate that Diddy is not only selling this property but is also planning to leave Los Angeles entirely, with no intentions of purchasing another residence in the city. He has been spending most of his time in Miami recently, though he was briefly spotted in L.A. last month and was seen river rafting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming over the weekend.
The $70 million asking price is considered ambitious by some, given the property’s recent history and current market conditions. However, the mansion’s location in the exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood and its association with the music industry titan could attract potential buyers.
This move comes as Diddy faces ongoing legal scrutiny, with a grand jury currently hearing evidence related to the allegations that prompted the March raid. The timing of any potential indictment remains uncertain.
Diddy’s decision to sell his L.A. mansion and leave the city marks a significant shift for the music mogul, who has long been associated with the entertainment capital. As the legal proceedings continue to unfold, the sale of this high-profile property will likely be closely watched by both real estate observers and those following Diddy’s career and legal challenges.
