Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs boarded a private jet as he returned to Instagram on Friday after clearing his entire page last month in June amid his mounting legal woes and sexual assault lawsuits.
The Coming Home rapper, 54, arrived to an airport tarmac at sunset in a short clip uploaded to his Instagram stories on Friday.
He filmed with his phone camera as he strolled towards a sleek, black jet and fist bumped the pilot, who was standing next to the stairs.
‘How you doing?’ Diddy asked and then directed the camera downwards to show a mat at the base of the stairs that read, ‘Combs Air.’
As the star stepped inside the lavish plane, he could be heard saying, ‘No place like home,’ before the reel ended.
Combs’ return to Instagram comes weeks after he wiped clean his entire page amid his legal troubles and after the Cassie beating video resurfaced.
The music artist took down all photos and clips on his account, including the Cassie apology video that was shared in May.
However, sources told TMZ at the time that the latest move was not ‘strategic’ nor was it a swipe against his ex, Cassie.
According to the insiders, Diddy made the choice to clear the page in order to simply ‘reset’ his posts – which is something that he has previously done in the past.
In regards to the apology clip, the sources explained that after he initially uploaded the reel, the video is now permanently out there on the internet, even after taking it down on his own account.
The sources further told TMZ that Diddy was sincere with his apology after the Cassie assault video came to light last month in May.
Clearing his Instagram page was not a strategic move by the disgraced rapper or his team, and instead was a spur of the moment choice, it was also claimed.
Combs currently has 19.9 million followers – a huge drop from the 45.6 million social media followers he had back in April.
The action to delete all posts also came after Diddy received Father’s Day tributes in June from his children on Instagram in celebration of the holiday.
The record producer – who recently returned his ceremonial key to New York City at Mayor Eric Adams’ request – opted to not post on social media, but most of his kids shared messages to their father, such as his son Justin and daughter Chance.
Earlier this month, another dark allegation emerged as a former porn star named Adria English sued Diddy for $50 billion over claims he trafficked her to have sex with party guests and threatened to blackmail her if she did not comply.
She claimed that she first met the rapper in 2004 when her boyfriend was auditioning for a Sean John modeling gig.
She alleges she worked parties hosted by Diddy in which she would drink alcohol laced with narcotics like ecstasy and would be asked to flirt with guests.
English said Diddy ‘groomed’ her into sex trafficking and told her to have sex with Jacob Arabov, also known as ‘Jacob the Jeweler’.
The lawsuit, filed in New York on Wednesday, claims she had ‘forced sexual intercourse’ with him and was paid an extra $1,000 compared to the usual fee for working the parties.
Jacob and a woman called Tamiko Thomas – who is accused of facilitating the sex trafficking operation and Diddy’s entertainment company Bad Boy – have been listed as defendants in the lawsuit.
She is suing the Bad Boy mogul and his alleged co-conspirators for $50 billion, according to the federal lawsuit obtained by DailyMail.com.
The former porn star took a photo with Jacob following the alleged assault before Diddy congratulated her on having sex with him, according to the lawsuit.
She claimed she was later ‘passed off’ to other guests at Diddy’s parties who sexually assaulted her. English named Thomas in the lawsuit and compared her to Ghislaine Maxwell and Diddy to Jeffrey Epstein.
English also claimed the rapper promised to help advance her career by helping her join a girl group as a way into the music industry.
But English said he made forceful demands and threatened to blacklist her and her boyfriend from the entire industry if they did not do what he said.
English said the first Diddy party she attended in 2004 had no requirements for physical sexual contact and ‘seemed to be a legitimate employment opportunity’.
But on later visits to his Hampton Estates, she claims she and ‘other sex trafficked individuals’ were taken into a room and provided clothes to wear for the parties.
English claims she was told to provide lap dances and be sexually flirtatious with the guests.
English said the only way to escape was to return to California which she did in 2009. She has suffered emotional trauma, intimacy issues and painful memories as a result of the alleged sex trafficking, according to the lawsuit.
After the latest lawsuit came to light, Diddy’s rival 50 Cent took aim against the disgraced rapper on Instagram.
Alongside a screenshot of an article regarding the lawsuit, the In Da Club hitmaker penned, ‘How much s*** was this fool doing? LOL NAH I’m gonna need more episodes for this docu series.’
It was also revealed earlier this month that Combs is selling his L.A. home for $70 million – after it was raided by Homeland Security back in March amid a suspected sex trafficking probe.
Diddy is trying to sell the mansion off-market, per TMZ, after initially purchasing the home back in 2014 for $40 million.
Sources also informed the outlet that the rapper ‘wants out of L.A.’ amid his legal woes and has been spending time in Miami – where his house was also raided.
A few months earlier, a video obtained by CNN, showed Diddy violently beating his ex Cassie near an elevator inside the InterContinental Hotel in Century City.
He could be seen shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist as he grabbed her by the back of her head and proceeded to kick her when she was on the ground.
Combs later took to his Instagram page to issue an apology following the clip’s release and said, ‘I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses. So difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you got to do that. I was f***ed up.’
‘I mean I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I’m disgusted.’
He continued, ‘I was disgusted then when I did it, I am disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab.’
‘Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I am committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness, I’m truly sorry.’
A federal grand jury is set to weight testimony gathered from witnesses and evidence before making a decision whether to indict Combs or not, per TMZ.
