It’s hard to think of anybody who has had a worse 2023 than Diddy so far.

It began last year for the rap mogul when he was sued by Cassie over allegations that he was physically abusive to her during their relationship.

Cassie’s suit turned out to be just the beginning of the legal trouble he would face though. Numerous lawsuits emerged in the following months, none more evocative than Lil Rod’s.

That suit brought in numerous other figures like Yung Miami and Meek Mill. It made some increasingly wild claims that left even Diddy’s haters wondering if Rod was telling the truth.

Then it escalated to much more serious legal trouble in March when the federal government raided two of the rap mogul’s properties in Los Angeles and Miami.

They later revealed that the raids were part of an investigation into allegations of sex trafficking. With the investigation presumed to be still ongoing, it’s not surprising that he’s kept a pretty low profile. One place the label head did pop up is in an apology video.

He felt compelled to make one when footage of him allegedly assaulting Cassie captured through a hotel security camera was leaked by CNN.

Now after an extended period hiding away in Florida, he’s reportedly back in Los Angeles.

Newly shared video shows Diddy back in Cali. In this particular clip, he’s simply minding his business on the sidewalk in West Hollywood.

They note that he’s talking to somebody, though who they are can’t specifically be identified. They also note that he waves at fans and seems to have a generally happy demeanor despite his current circumstances.

Per an earlier report, federal prosecutors are preparing to bring Sean “Diddy” Combs’ accusers in front of a grand jury, indicating that the US Justice Department is moving toward seeking an indictment against the embattled music mogul. 

Witnesses have been notified by investigators that they could be called to testify in front of a federal grand jury in New York City, a source informed CNN.
