A man suspected to be the drug courier for Sean “Diddy” Combs found himself in handcuffs in Miami after federal agents halted the prominent rapper’s private jet.
The individual in question, Brendan Paul, aged 25, faced charges for the possession of suspected cocaine and marijuana-infused candy.
According to an affidavit obtained by TMZ, law enforcement officers, collaborating with Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection personnel, stumbled upon substances believed to be narcotics during their operation.
Upon testing the substances, confirming them as illicit drugs, authorities promptly took Paul into custody.
Although he was processed and booked, he has since been released on bail.
Neither Paul’s nor Combs’ legal representatives responded immediately to requests from Page Six seeking comments on the matter.
Paul’s name surfaced in Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy earlier this year, alleging s–ual misconduct by the music tycoon during the production of his 2022 album.
In the legal document, Jones accused Paul of acting as a close associate to Diddy, often carrying a firearm and facilitating the acquisition and distribution of firearms and drugs for Combs.
Moreover, Jones claimed that Paul played a role in determining the compensation for s=x workers engaged with Combs, as stated in the lawsuit obtained by Page Six.
Despite these serious allegations, Diddy has vehemently refuted all claims made by Jones.
The Department of Homeland Security recently conducted raids at Combs’ properties in Miami and Los Angeles in connection with an investigation into s=x trafficking.
Federal agents entered Combs’ residences with weapons drawn and were observed removing electronic devices from the premises.
Initially believed to have flown to Antigua, Combs was later sighted at the Miami airport, purportedly preparing for a trip to the Bahamas to celebrate his twin daughters’ spring break, according to sources.
Meanwhile, Combs’ sons Justin and King were apprehended at the Los Angeles estate before later returning to retrieve personal items before departing again.
