Did Diddy have tunnels under his mansion?
No, Diddy did not have tunnels under his mansion. Reuters fact-checked a claim that was going around social media where a fabricated image of CNN stated that underground tunnels were found at Diddy’s home. “That is a manipulated image and not something CNN reported,” CNN representative Emily Kuhn said in an email to the news site.
People reported that the Playboy mansion was rumored to have a series of underground tunnels that connected the mansion to other homes in the area, including those of “Mr. J. Nicholson,” “Mr. W. Beatty,” “Mr. K. Douglas” and “Mr. J. Caan.” However, one staff member told the site that the tunnels were “closed up sometime in 1989.”
The site also reported that Diddy listed his Los Angeles home shortly before the arrest. A source close to Diddy said he “lived in Miami as his primary residence for years and always planned to sell the home in L.A. once his daughters grew up and moved out.” The house was listed for $61.5 million and features 10 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, and a two-story guest house.
