Sean 'Diddy' Combs Arrested in New York City: Sources

Mogul Faces Federal Gun Charges

Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested in New York City on Tuesday, according to sources speaking to ABC News. The music mogul was taken into federal custody on gun charges.

Details of the charges have not been released, but sources told ABC News that Combs was arrested by the FBI while exiting a vehicle at his Manhattan home. He was reportedly taken into custody without incident.

The arrest comes just days after Combs publicly declared his support for stricter gun control measures in the wake of the recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.

Combs, who is also known as Diddy and Puff Daddy, is a well-known figure in the music industry. He is the founder of Bad Boy Records and has produced and performed on numerous hit songs. He has also appeared in several films and television shows.

The arrest of Combs is a reminder of the ongoing problem of gun violence in the United States. Despite efforts to pass stricter gun control laws, the number of mass shootings continues to rise. In 2019, there have been over 250 mass shootings in the United States, according to Gun Violence Archive.
