Incarcerated rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has disposed of his sprawling Beverly Hills mansion more than a year after putting the now-infamous home on the market for $61.5 million.
Two months after being sentenced to four years in prison for transporting people for prostitution, the rapper appears to have ended his months-long search to find a buyer for his California home, which was raided by Homeland Security when agents raided the property to find evidence in a sex-trafficking investigation.
Property records show the home was taken off the market on Dec. 24. It is currently unclear what prompted the removal of the property; however, Realtor.com® has reached out to a spokesperson for Diddy for comment.
The house — which was listed with a famous realtor Kurt Rappaport— was originally introduced in September 2024, days before Diddy, 56, was arrested in New York City on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Diddy had pleaded not guilty to all charges brought against him – with his lawyers arguing that he did not engage in any non-consensual sexual acts.
Following a highly publicized trial earlier this year, the rapper was found not guilty of the more serious charges against him, but was still sentenced to 50 months behind bars after a jury convicted him of two prostitution-related convictions.
In addition to a prison sentence, the judge imposed a $500,000 fine, which was the maximum he could order and was based, he said, on the fact that Diddy had “immense resources, which enabled his crimes.”
Diddy’s 10-bedroom, 13-bathroom property, which he purchased for $39 million in 2014, gained global notoriety in March 2024 when it was raided by Homeland Security agents as part of their investigation into the rapper’s alleged illegal activities, along with his $48 million Miami home.
Six months after that raid, Diddy was charged with racketeering conspiracy, forcible sex trafficking, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution, and now faces life in prison if convicted, according to the Associated Press.
In the months after his arrest, details emerged about evidence allegedly found at the mansion, which prosecutors said was used as the venue for several so-called “freak off” parties, events in which the rapper is accused of using his “power and prestige” to “abuse, threaten and coerce women … to fulfill his sexual desires,” according to an unsealed indictment.
During the trial, jurors were shown images of evidence discovered during raids on Diddy’s homes in Florida and California, with photos taken inside the properties revealing that investigators found multiple weapons, including AR-15 rifle parts, as well as numerous pairs of women’s high heels, sex toys and dozens of bottles of baby oil littering the sprawling property.
Several different drugs were also discovered on the property, with Homeland Security Special Agent Gerard Gannon revealing that an assortment of pills, white powder and a “rock crystal-like substance” that later tested positive for cocaine and ketamine were discovered in a Gucci bag in the closet, according to CNN.
Another photo captures a prescription bottle for Clonazepam, as well as natural erectile dysfunction treatments.
Rubber ducks were also seen stored in a box in one photo, while Just For Men hair dye was captured in another alongside a hairdryer.
A picture taken in a bathroom at the house revealed that the mirror had been covered with several messages, some of which appeared to have been written in lipstick, while others were scrawled in black marker.
“I love you love Diddy,” read one, while another said: “What do YOU WANT?”
A third read: “You are a legend and quite stn Team Puffy.”
However, the original listing for the home, which is located in the exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood, made no mention of its scandal-ridden owner or controversial history.
Instead, the property has been described as one of the “most spectacular and beautiful estates” in the area, offering 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms spread over 17,000 square feet.
It was first reported that the rapper planned to sell the property in July 2024, less than four months after it was raided by federal agents, though he didn’t officially put it on the market until two months after those rumors surfaced.
Photos from the raid revealed that agents conducted a thorough search of both properties, with reports claiming that they removed several electronic components and also opened safes that were found in both the LA and Miami homes.
According to the indictment, agents discovered weapons, drugs and what was described as “frightening” supplies, which included narcotics, lubricants and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil, according to NBC News.
At the time, a source told Page Six at the time that there was “significant property damage” to both homes during the raids.
Diddy’s Holmby Hills property comes with a pretty impressive number of amenities, including a bar, wine cellar, library, gym, indoor sauna, and pool.
The listing also drew attention to the home’s “state-of-the-art home theater that seats 35,” as well as classic European details throughout the home.
“The stunning grounds feature beautiful lawns, mature trees, formal gardens, a resort like pool with waterfall and grotto, basketball court, spa house and a covered outdoor loggia with grill, bar and pizza oven,” the listing reads.
Before Diddy’s guilty verdict, legal experts explained to Realtor.com what would happen to the property if the rapper ended up serving a prison sentence, revealing that he was legally within his rights to pursue the sale of the home. However, what becomes of the money from a sale could be left in the hands of the authorities.
“Generally, he can sell his house, but given the pending legal action against him, the court will likely have a say in how the proceeds are paid.” On the path of Ameerexplained an agent at Coldwell Banker in California.
However, if a buyer comes forward following Diddy’s conviction, the federal government “can put a lien on the asset” and have a say in where the money goes, Justin Papernyexplained a crisis manager to White Collar Advice.
Ameer also pointed out that Combs could end up with skyrocketing legal costs and may need the money from the sale of his home to cover them.
“He may have to sell his house to pay his court costs as well as the restitution that is being sought for his victims,” she said. “He could end up having to liquidate a lot of his assets if he can’t afford to pay out of pocket. A court can have oversight of where the sale proceeds go in this case.”
However, given the stigma surrounding the property, selling at the asking price could be a tough hill to climb.
If Combs takes the house off the market, he could always rent it out as a “trophy property,” Paperny noted, explaining that his high-profile clients with luxury homes have listed their properties on Airbnb for up to $20,000 a night.
However, Paperny explained that Combs may struggle to secure a buyer willing to pay the $61.5 million asking price — especially given the property’s uneasy connection to the rapper’s lawsuit.
“[He] he might be asking too much,” the crisis manager warned. “People might not want their affiliation with him.”
The home is one of many incredible properties Diddy has owned and sold over the years. His Miami mansion, which is located on exclusive Star Island, was previously owned by glory and Emilio Estefan and cost the rapper $35 million in 2021.
It includes two buildings on 1.34 acres with a total of six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and nearly 8,000 square feet, as well as stunning waterfront views.
Diddy already owned the house next door to Estefan’s property, having bought it 18 years earlier for $14.5 million.
