Rapper Diddy’s alleged “drug mule” was arrested at a Miami airport after federal agents raided the singer’s Florida and California homes.
Brendon Paul, 25, was arrested Monday at Opa Locka Airport after the feds intercepted a private plane he was about to board with Diddy.
He was booked on one count of possession of suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana edibles, according to a police report obtained by The Post.
Diddy was spotted at the same airport at 3 p.m. Monday talking on his phone and pacing, pictures showed. He has not been arrested or questioned by federal authorities at this stage.
The drugs were found inside Paul’s travel bags, according to the arrest paperwork. He was arrested after tests confirmed they were narcotics and the report said he has since been bailed out of jail.
The federal officers who found the drugs in Paul’s bag were working in conjunction with Homeland Security — who raided Diddy’s homes on Monday — and Border Patrol.
Paul was alleged to be a “drug mule” mule in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs.
The lawsuit alleges Paul “acquires and distributes Mr. Combs guns and drugs.” However, the alleged drugs found in his bag Monday have not been linked to the rapper.
Combs has vehmently denied all the allegations against him on social media and in a statement through his lawyer.
Following Paul’s arrest and the raids it is not believed Diddy left the country.
At the time of Paul’s arrest they had been boarding a different private jet to Diddy’s main one, which had flown from Los Angeles to Antigua in the Caribbean on Monday without him aboard.
At least four people have been interviewed by agents regarding sex trafficking claims made against Diddy and more interview are expected, according to Rolling Stone.
Homeland Security Investigations Human Trafficking Task Force raided his homes Monday after a search warrant was issued by the Southern District of New York, sources told The Post.
“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. We will provide further information as it becomes available,” HSI told The Post.
Combs came under fire last year after his ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura sued him, alleging she experienced years of sexual abuse from the rapper. The case was settled the day after she filed.
In recent months, Diddyh has been hit with other lawsuits accusing him of sexual abuse, which he has also denied.
“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth,” he wrote on Instagram.
