Social media claims that Sean "Diddy" Combs' Los Angeles mansion is connected to the Playboy mansion through an underground bunker. The speculation gained traction after several posts on X (formerly Twitter) hinted at the possibility of hidden tunnels linking the properties. One post from September 24 read, "Google earth shows Diddy Mansion and Playboy Mansion practically next door to each other and on the same PARALLEL as the Getty - what are the odds they're all connected underground?"

However, no evidence supports these claims. According to Reuters, a fabricated screenshot from a CNN broadcast suggested the presence of underground tunnels, but CNN’s Emily Kuhn clarified that the images were manipulated. The same rumors surfaced earlier in March, only to be debunked once again.
The reemergence of the speculation follows Diddy’s recent legal troubles. On September 16, 2024, the music mogul was arrested by federal agents on charges related to s*x trafficking. The arrest led to renewed interest in his properties, fueling unfounded rumors about secret underground connections.
Diddy’s Holmby Hills mansion, which he purchased in 2014 for $40 million, features a lagoon-style swimming pool and a grotto, but no mention of any tunnels. The property covers 17,000 square feet and includes a guesthouse, theater, gym, and wine room.
