Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs filmed music video inside California mansion now taken over by squatters; abandoned by Phillies owner’s son
Sean “Diddy” Combs filmed a music video inside the now-abandoned Hollywood Hills mansion taken over by squatters and taggers who have since spray-painted “Diddy was here” on the roof after learning about the production.
Com✃bs used several parts of the luxurious home including the great room, the spiral staircase and outside near the pool as the background for his 2007 song featuring Keyshia Cole.
Mary J. Blige has resided in the mansion in years past, as have several “high-level business folks,” one neighbor named Jack
“I think some influencers have lived here over the years. It’s a really cool house. It’s big,” the neighbor added.
“The longer it sits like this, more people are going to come and keep doing what they’re doing,” Jack said. “The neighborhood, this house specifically, could use a security guard. Two guards … not that expensive. Let’s keep the neighborhood safe.”
Combs is being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center after he was arrested by federal agents on charges of sex t♓rafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prosti💃tution.
The rapper was placed on suicide watch inside the jail as a “preventative measure.”
The neglected mansion at 7571 Mulholland Drive🐈 iඣn the posh Hollywood Hills has been owned by John Powers Middleton since 2012.
Middleton, 𒊎the only son of businessman and P🍒hiladelphia Phillies owner John S. Middleton, was issued an abatement order by the city of Los Angeles two years after purchasing the property.
Middleꦫton owns a second Los Angeles property that has also become overrun by squatters and taggers, according to KABC.
Squatters andꦦ tagge🌊rs have been entering the property for over two years.
The unwanted guests have become headaches and safety hazards for the neighbors, who call the home an eyesore, with the exterior walls blasted with graffiti art and “tags.”
Residents living near the Hollywood Hills home♊ have fumed that they’re no longer safe living near the property.
One homeowner was attacked by a vagrant with a “steel rebar and beer bottle,”
Others claim꧂ the taggers are beginnin💛g to spread their work to other properties.
The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety declared the property a nuisance and issued an abatement order forcing the owner to build a fence and secure the property in October 202ও2,
Middlꦉeton failed to comply wꦅith the order, leading the city to erect a fence instead.
A lien has been issued on the home and Middleton has defaul෴ted on property taxes for several years.
The squatters and taggers still accessed the six-bedroom, 9,707-square-foot home. According to the listing, Middleton’s mansion has a pool and is ꦓestimated to be worth $6.53 milౠlion.
Most of the windows have been shattered, and the exterior walls and the rꦬoof have been covered with graf▨fiti.
Private security has been placed at the home 24/7 in hopes of keepin♏g the squatters and taggers awꦉay.
The Los Angeles Police Department was called to the property six times in Septembe🐻r and removed 10 people on Wednesday, arresting one on a warrant, KABC re💃ported.
