Sean “P Diddy” Combs’ Miami and Beverly Hills’ mansions were infamously raided in March by Homeland Security officials.
The Bad Boys CEO was then arrested earlier this month on charges on sex trafficking and racketeering following the raids. He has pleaded not guilty and “vehemently” denied all accusations against him and is currently being detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn.
In the indictment, law enforcement found supplies from his alleged “freak-off parties” such as, narcotics, as well as over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricants in the homes.
Since the news of the raids broke, social media has speculated that Diddy may also have an underground tunnel that has a gym, a wine room and a theater in his Los Angeles residence.
“Not diddy having a tunnel connected to his house,” one user penned on X, formerly known as Twitter. Someone else wrote: “THEY FOUND A TUNNEL UNDER DIDDYS MANSION?!?!?!?”
People claimed in 2015 that the tunnel was connected to the Playboy Mansion, as the late Hugh Hefner’s infamous bunny home was known to have secret underground passageways that was attached to nearby homes, including actors Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, and James Caan. The Playboy mansion is just a short minute drive away from Diddy’s sprawling mansion.
It was rumored that Diddy had a underground tunnel that connected to the Playboy mansion. However, rumors of a Diddy tunnel are allegedly false, as Reuters reported in March shortly after the feds stormed his mansions.
The news agency said the claims were fabricated after a doctored screenshot from a CNN broadcast made the rounds online. “That is a manipulated image and not something CNN reported,” CNN representative Emily Kuhn said in a statement to Reuters.
The Los Angeles Times did note 2014 that Diddy’s sprawling 17,000-square-foot estate does includes a “lagoon-style swimming pool with a grotto connected by an underwater swimming tunnel.”
Hefner’s former girlfriend, Kendra Wilkinson, got candid on the Kyle and Jackie O Show earlier this week and opened up about her experiences partying with Diddy back in the day.
“I remember just going to like one or two [parties that Diddy was at], but again, like I had a great time in my youth,” she said. “I don’t really see anything, like, I never saw anything really bad happening around me.”
Host Jackie O then confirmed that the The Girls Next Door alum never actually witnessed anything unusual that wouldn’t typically occur at a big Hollywood bash.
“Yeah, look, you’re going to the Playboy Mansion – you know, there’s girls topless in the Grotto. Don’t we already know that? ” Kendra added.
