Sean “Diddy” Combs has agreed that the feds can hold onto his infamous “freak-off” tapes, which reportedly include recordings labeled by the disgraced music mogul as the “Ibiza Tapes.”
The feds seized several devices and tapes from Diddy when they raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles early last year. The devices included hard drives, thumb drives, iPhones, iPads, and computers.
Diddy will also forfeit $9,000 in cash the feds recovered from the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, where he was staying at the time of his arrest back in September 2024.
During his seven-week-long trial, the jury was shown screenshots and short clips of the freak-offs, where Diddy would watch his girlfriends, including Cassie Ventura, who testified against him, have sex with male prostitutes.
Cassie claimed that she was forced to participate in freak-offs, which would sometimes last for days. She says Diddy threatened to release the videos if she did not comply.
“I just feared for my career. I feared for my family,” she testified. “It’s horrible and disgusting. No one should do that to anyone.”
Court papers noted that all seized devices were“property used or intended to be used” as part of the prostitution charges. The items will be handed over to the US Customs and Border Protection to be held in “its secure custody and control.”
