Diddy has been ordered to forfeit property connected to his “freak offs” to the federal government as part of his 50-month prison sentence for Mann Act violations connected to the now-infamous sexual encounters.
According to court documents filed Wednesday and seen by Complex, Diddy must surrender a large cache of tapes and electronic devices seized during federal raids last year. Among the materials, one item in particular has grabbed public attention: video cassettes taken from Diddy's Miami home that are labeled "Ibiza Tapes."
The forfeiture order, agreed to by Diddy's attorneys and the man himself, covers evidence collected in March 2024, when federal authorities raided Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles homes; as well as objects found in a Manhattan hotel around the time of Diddy’s arrest the following September.
Investigators confiscated video cassette tapes, hard drives, thumb drives, iPhones, iPads, computers, and other devices, as well as $9,000 in cash. They say the materials were all “property used or intended to be used” in connection with the mogul's criminal conduct. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will retain “secure custody and control” of all materials.
The court filings do not describe what is on the “Ibiza Tapes." Diddy has been to the island numerous times over the years, including at least once with Cassie Ventura, one of the alleged victims in Diddy's case. Cassie testified during Diddy's trial that he threatened to release tapes of her at freak offs, which he would frequently record, in order to maintain control over her.
Earlier this week, Diddy asked the judge in his case, Arun Subramanian, to recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that the Bad Boy head spend his prison sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security facility in New Jersey. However, Subramanian refused, saying instead that he would ask the BOP that Diddy "be incarcerated as close as possible to the New York metropolitan area."
