A man accused of being Diddy‘s drug “mule” has been arrested and charged with drug possession, and it went down at the same time as the raids.
Man Accused of Being Diddy’s “Drug Mule” Arrested on Drug Possession Charges
On Tuesday (March 26), Rolling Stone reported that Brendan Paul, 25, was taken into custody by Miami-Dade police on Monday (March 25) at Miami’s Opa-Locka Airport around 4:30 p.m. The arrest was made around the same time the Department of Homeland Security descended on Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles, Miami and New York as part of an investigation. Miami-Dade reportedly worked alongside Homeland Security agents when Paul was detained. It’s unclear if Paul’s arrest has any connection to the ongoing investigation involving Diddy.
XXL has reached out to Diddy’s team and the Miami-Dade Police Department for further comment.

Diddy’s Homes Raided by Federal Authorities
The latest development comes after Fox 11 reported on Monday (March 25) that Diddy’s Los Angeles, Miami, and New York homes were both being raided by federal authorities. Videos showed the Department of Homeland Security moving swiftly into the houses with guns and bringing out numerous people in handcuffs, including Diddy’s sons Justin and King Combs.
The raids are reportedly linked to a sex trafficking investigation, but this has not been confirmed. While Diddy was missing in action for most of the raids, he was spotted pacing back-and-forth at a Miami area airport a few hours after the news broke. An eyewitness told TMZ that Diddy and a few others were approached by authorities at the airport. He has not been detained or charged with a crime.
