As Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex crimes trial continues in New York, his Los Angeles mansion continues to sit on the real estate market.
After being initially listed for sale, the California home of the famous rapper is still on the market for over eight months. Diddy, aged 55, put the property up for sale with an asking price of $61.5 million in September 2024. This was done just before he faced legal issues in New York City, including charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation for prostitution, all of which he denies guilt for.
It is reported that Diddy bought the house in L.A.’s Holmby Hills area for $39 million. The property boasts 10 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, and spans across 1.3 acres. The main house itself includes various amenities such as a formal dining room, both a regular and catering kitchen, a wine cellar, and a home theater that accommodates 35 people.
In addition to the main house, there is a two-story guesthouse on the premises which contains its own bedrooms, a gym, and a home recording studio. The expansive backyard of the property is equally impressive, featuring a swimming pool, basketball court, loggia, spa house, pizza oven, and barbecue bar.
Standing tall outside near the side of the house is a silver, metallic statue of a female torso. Bordering the art piece are decorative hedges shaped in an X pattern.
Despite the house’s luxurious qualities, Diddy’s former residence has yet to find a buyer. “When they buy a home at that price point, they like to brag about it,” Landmark Research Group partner Michael Tachovsky told Business Insider in an article published Monday, May 19. “P. Diddy’s reputation, at the current time, really isn’t a positive bragging point for a potential buyer. It can play into perceptions, and when there’s a negative perception with a property, it just makes it harder to sell.”
Belwood Investments founder Bo Belmont made a $30 million offer on the house back in November 2024. “I want to remove the stigma and focus on the charming elegance of this remarkable property,” he said in a press release at the time. “We intend major renovations and especially want to recapture the beautiful, bucolic setting of the outside grounds, with its picturesque trees, foliage, and walkways. This prominent estate will be a great asset to our growing portfolio of luxury properties.”
Diddy’s L.A. home made headlines in March 2024 when it was one of his properties raided by Homeland Security in connection to a sex trafficking investigation. In his September 2024 indictment, it was revealed law enforcement seized supplies for his alleged sex parties known as “freak offs,” including “narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” and multiple firearms.
Diddy’s trial kicked off in New York City earlier this month, with his ex-girlfriend Cassie taking the stand to testify after filing and settling a civil lawsuit against him in November 2023. (Diddy denied Cassie’s allegations at the time and has continued to deny all accusations against him.)
Among her testimony’s many claims, Cassie, 38, alleged on Friday, May 16, that the 2016 hotel security camera footage published by CNN last year showed him dragging her back to their room to participate in a freak off.
