Diddy Seemingly Tried To Conceal Funds Ahead Of Arrest + Reportedly Took $100K In Cash For Club Gig & Directed It To His Mother’s Company

Diddy appeared to take unusually cautious financial steps in the months leading up to his arrest, according to Page Six.

The outlet reports that the Bad Boy founder made a paid appearance at Miami’s M2 nightclub in 2023, collecting a $100,000 fee entirely in cash. The payment was allegedly directed to a company named after his mother, Janice Combs, who was 84 at the time.

Documents show the appearance took place on May 4 during a Race Week “kickoff party” tied to Formula 1’s Miami Grand Prix. A contract dated May 1 reportedly stated that the “one hundred thousand US dollars” fee would be paid in two installments and that “all payments shall be made via cash pursuant to … written directions.” The agreement was said to be made with “Janice Combs Music Holdings Inc.”

Less than a year later, Diddy’s homes were raided by the FBI in March 2024 as multiple civil lawsuits mounted. By September 2024, he was federally indicted on several charges.

In July 2025, a jury acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and s*x trafficking but convicted him on two counts of transportation for the purposes of pr*stitution. He was sentenced to four years and two months in prison, fined $500,000, and placed on supervised release.

Diddy is currently serving his sentence in Fort Dix, New Jersey. He has since settled several civil cases, including one filed by ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura for a reported $20 million.

Do you think Diddy was trying to hide his money??
