It appears Sean “Diddy” Combs’ son Justin Combs will now have a hard time renting luxury properties in Los Angeles for parties because of the condition he leaves them in.
In an interview with the New York Post, a broker of mansions in Southern California said Justin, 30, had been wrecking properties he rents for his parties – hence the decision to ban him from booking such homes.
“The company that I work with rented houses to Justin,” an LA-based facilitator for wealthy and popular personalities said. “He would say, ‘I’m having 20 people over.’ But there would be 200 and then they would wreck the house.”
“It’s gotten to the point where nobody will rent to him. He called me to rent, and I said no,” the facilitator added. Prior to his father’s detention, Justin had been spotted at some parties alongside him and his associates.
And though nothing indicates that anything suspicious occurred at the parties hosted by Justin, that is not the same case for his father as authorities in the wake of his arrest alleged that the embattled music executive orchestrated “freak-offs” at his parties. Authorities described it as elaborate, produced sex performances that he directed, recorded, and sometimes participated in.
The allegations against Combs came after the Department of Homeland Security raided his Miami and Los Angeles mansions following sex trafficking allegations, Face2Face Africa reported. Combs, 55, ultimately put his sprawling $61.5 million Los Angeles mansion on the market in the wake of those raids.
But PEOPLE reported that the 17,000 sq. ft. property is not attracting any interested buyers, with real estate sources telling the news outlet that it’s because of the property’s history. Combs caused an online stir after authorities claimed they found “more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” in his Miami and Los Angeles homes during the raids.
“The property itself is stunning, yet it’s clear that the criminal allegations has impacted buyer interest,” the source said. “There has been some overseas curiosity from high-profile international buyers, but no serious offers.”
“It’s already a challenging market with buyers being more cautious in general Coupled with the property’s high profile and recent news, it’s making it a tougher sell,” the source also stated, adding that the only way to get the mansion off the market is to get a buyer willing to look “beyond the headlines.” However, the source said that is “definitely an uphill battle.”
Combs was arrested by federal agents on September 16 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs, who entered a not-guilty plea, is being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His trial date has been set for May 5, 2025. But the Bad Boy Records founder is additionally facing multiple sexual assault lawsuits.
