P Diddy reportedly took $100K from Miami club months before arrest

The payment was tied to Diddy's appearance at a Formula 1 party held at Miami’s M2 nightclub in May 2023

Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly received a $100,000 cash payment from a Miami nightclub for a public appearance just months before his arrest, according to a new report.

The payment was reportedly tied to Combs’ appearance at a high-profile Formula 1 Race Week kickoff party held at Miami’s M2 nightclub in May 2023. Sources cited in the report claim the club was instructed to pay Combs entirely in cash, with the money delivered in two separate installments ahead of the event.

The funds were allegedly paid to a company connected to Combs’ mother, Janice Combs, and the cash-only arrangement was reportedly outlined in the contract for the appearance. The report notes that the requirement raised eyebrows given the unusually large amount and the lack of traditional banking methods involved.

The appearance took place months before Combs’ legal troubles escalated. In 2024, federal authorities arrested the music mogul following a sweeping investigation into multiple allegations. His arrest and subsequent legal battles have since placed intense scrutiny on his finances, business dealings and past conduct.

The reported $100,000 payout has resurfaced amid growing public interest in Combs’ financial arrangements prior to his arrest, adding another layer to the ongoing examination of his professional and personal affairs. Representatives for Combs did not publicly comment on the reported payment at the time of publication.

The situation continues to develop as Combs faces mounting legal challenges, with past appearances and financial transactions now being reexamined in light of his arrest.
