Embattled rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs came to light Thursday night while taking his twin daughters to a Miami golf club following raids on his East and West Coast mansions this week.
The 54-year-old flashed a peace sign and sported a tracksuit as he left Top Golf with his daughters Jessie and D’Lila, 17, after playing for two hours.
The apparently relaxed outing comes just days after Diddy’s mansions in Los Angeles and Miami were raided on Monday as part of a sex trafficking investigation.
The same day, the rapper’s alleged drug mule, Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested by Miami-Dade police and Homeland Security agents at Opa-Locka Executive Airport.
Paul, who played two years on the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team, is charged with felony counts of cocaine possession and marijuana possession.

He is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami on two $2,500 bonds.
The former athlete was referred to as Diddy’s ‘drug mule’ in a $30 million lawsuit Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones filed against Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs.
The complaint, one of five filed against Cobs since November, alleged that he was involved in “acquiring and distributing drugs and weapons from Mr. Combs.”
It was not confirmed whether Paul’s arrest was related to the allegations in the lawsuit or the raids on Diddy’s properties.
Jones claimed in the lawsuit that he “personally witnessed” Paul “acquiring and distributing” drugs to Combs and his entourage, and transporting or intending to transport drugs in flight luggage.
He wrote that the flights were between Los Angeles, Miami, Virginia, the Caribbean and London three times in December 2022, April 2023 and November 2023.
Combs’ attorney said Tuesday that the searches of the rapper’s properties by federal authorities were “a blatant use of military-level force” and that Combs is “innocent and will continue to fight” to clear his name.
The same day, the rapper’s alleged drug mule, Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested at Opa-Locka Executive Airport.
Agents arrived at Diddy’s properties in Miami and Los Angeles as part of their investigation into alleged sex trafficking.
Combs’ sons, Justin and Christian ‘King’ Combs, were handcuffed during the raid on their father’s Los Angeles residence.
King, 25, is a musician whose song ‘Can’t Stop Won’t Stop’ featuring Kodak Black topped Billboard’s Mainstream R&B Hip-Hop charts in 2022.
Along with a heavy officer presence, command trucks were parked outside both properties.
The criminal investigation is a major escalation in scrutiny of Combs, who has been accused in several sexual abuse trials in recent months.
In a lawsuit that Combs settled the day after his performance in November, his former protégé and girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, sued him alleging years of sexual abuse, including rape. The lawsuit says he forced her to have sex with prostitutes while she filmed them.
In February, a music producer filed a lawsuit alleging that Combs forced him to hire prostitutes and pressured him to have sex with them.
Another of Combs’ accusers was a woman who said the rap producer raped her two decades ago, when she was 17 years old.
Combs and his attorneys have denied all allegations in the lawsuits.
