25-year-old Brendan Paul was taken into custody yesterday, according to the latest from "Rolling Stone."

Life has changed a lot for Sean Combs over the past six months, and despite constantly denying the harrowing allegations rising against him, it doesn't look as though he'll be restored to his former glory anytime soon. On Monday (March 25) Homeland Security raided two of Diddy's properties, even putting his sons Justin and Christian Combs in handcuffs in the process. Reports about the New Yorker's whereabouts initially suggested he was on a private jet fleeing the country, but we've since seen footage of him pacing back and forth in Miami, suggesting he's still on American soil but not under arrest.

On Tuesday (March 26), Rolling Stone came through with another update suggesting that 25-year-old Brendan Paul was arrested in connection with yesterday's home raids. The young man is facing accusations of being a drug mule for Diddy and was taken in by the Miami-Dade Police Department at the Opa-Locka Airport around 4:30 PM. This was around the same time that authorities arrived at the "I'll Be Missing You" artist's Los Angeles and Miami homes. As XXL notes, Paul was recently named in Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones' lawsuit against Combs.

New Information on Diddy's Rumoured Drug Mule Comes to Light

According to Rod's testimony, he's "personally witnessed" Diddy's "mule" partake in "acquiring and distributing" drugs. We're waiting for more official updates on the situation, with the most recent headlines revealing that Cuba Gooding Jr. is facing accusations of "fondling" the alleged victim in the same lawsuit.

50 Cent certainly seems to think the very worst about Diddy and his cohorts, but not everyone believes that the Bad Boy mogul is the real villain. According to Candace Owens and others, Combs is the "fall guy" in this situation, and the feds are using his allegations to hide evidence about the Jeffrey Epstein lists and other heinous crimes.
