Videos about Sean "Diddy" Combs's alleged arrest after the home raids surfaced, sparking confusion among the public.
After accusers came forward in the past months, Combs appeared in the headlines again after the Department of Homeland Security led simultaneous raids on the embattled rap mogul's homes in Los Angeles and Miami on Monday, March 25.
While new footage from the Miami raid captured two men in handcuffs, it sparked rumors that Combs was also arrested by the FBI.
Did the FBI Arrest Diddy?
On TikTok, several videos surfaced claiming that Combs was arrested following his string of legal battles.
One of the clips, posted by ohhwowtv, included the headline, "Breaking News FBI Arrests Puff Daddy."

More users -- including enigmamantv and tasker8033 -- shared similar headlines alleging Combs's arrest but offered no evidence to support the claims.
Noteably, the authorities have not confirmed Diddy's arrest.
Homeland Security Investigations shared a statement to Newsweek regarding the raid, which was reportedly prompted by sex trafficking allegations against Combs.
"Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners," said HSI. "We will provide further information as it becomes available."
Miami Herald said four people in Combs's entourage were cuffed by the federal agents during the search; other media outlets noted there were two or three people, including his elder sons, Justin and King Combs.
Where Is Diddy?
While Combs's whereabouts were not confirmed during the raids, TMZ uploaded a video of the "It's All About the Benjamins" rapper at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport hours after the searches.
The media outlet also tracked his jet and located it on the ground in Antigua, though it was not disclosed whether the Bad Boy Records founder was on board.
"Antigua, as we know, is an extradition country, so probably not the best place to flee to if Diddy was indeed on that plane, if that's where he is," former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told News Nation host Ashleigh Banfield.
Diddy has also not posted anything on his social media pages after the raids.
