Sean "Diddy" Combs’ private jet was recently spotted at Auckland Airport, raising eyebrows as the music mogul faces serious legal troubles in the United States. The Gulfstream G550, valued at approximately $60 million, was seen parked at the airport while Combs remains in custody following allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering.
Key Takeaways
- Sean Combs’ private jet was spotted at Auckland Airport on October 3, 2024.
- The jet, a Gulfstream G550, is valued at around $60 million.
- Combs is currently detained in the U.S. facing multiple sex crime charges.
- Approximately 120 alleged victims are reportedly suing Combs for various sexual offenses.
The Jet’s Mysterious Visit
The all-black Gulfstream G550, known for its distinctive appearance, was parked at the C1 stand, typically reserved for private aircraft. Witnesses quickly took to social media to inquire about the jet’s presence in New Zealand. The aircraft, registered as N1969C, has been difficult to track due to privacy requests from its owner.
Earlier this year, the jet had gone "missing" from flight tracking services following federal raids on Combs’ properties in Los Angeles and Miami. The aircraft is legally owned by LoveAir LLC, a U.S. company, but is widely reported to belong to Combs.
Legal Troubles for Combs
While the jet was in Auckland, Combs was being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. He was arrested on September 16 and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs has pleaded not guilty to these charges.
The allegations against him have been mounting since 2023, when singer Cassie Ventura accused him of years of coercion, physical abuse, and a rape incident in 2018. Recently, a lawyer announced that around 120 alleged victims are preparing to sue Combs for rape, sexual assault, and exploitation.
Speculation Surrounding the Jet’s Purpose
The reasons for the jet’s visit to Auckland remain unclear. Some speculate it could be related to singer Ne-Yo, who is scheduled to perform in the city soon. The jet’s unique design and high-profile ownership have made it a topic of interest among aviation enthusiasts and the general public alike.
Departure from Auckland
Just a day after its arrival, the jet was seen leaving Auckland Airport, further fueling speculation about its purpose in New Zealand. A traveler at the airport reported seeing the jet take off around 2:15 PM, and social media accounts tracking celebrity jets confirmed its departure shortly thereafter.
As the legal proceedings against Combs continue, the public remains intrigued by the juxtaposition of his luxurious lifestyle and the serious allegations he faces. The sighting of his private jet in Auckland serves as a reminder of the ongoing saga surrounding the music mogul, as he navigates a turbulent chapter in his life.
