Days after rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ arrest in New York City, several TikTok users claimed that federal officers found a ‘secret’ underground tunnel at the music mogul’s mansion that finished at Michael Jackson’s home. One social media user said that the arrested rapper’s team was nervous and blocked the entrance to his home during an FBI raid.
Days after rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ arrest in New York City, several TikTok users claimed that federal officers found a ‘secret’ underground tunnel at the music mogul’s mansion that finished at Michael Jackson’s home. One social media user said that the arrested rapper’s team was nervous and blocked the entrance to his home during an FBI raid.
Claims:
One post on X, platform formerly known as Twitter, read, “Despite the discovery, the Federal government has yet to release any photos of [the tunnel]. The mainstream media insists there are no connections between this tunnel and the nearby Playboy mansion, located just minutes away.”
“According to the Lanacion website, the interior has a private theater with capacity for 35 people, a fully equipped gym and a wine room. The most curious thing about the property is an underwater tunnel connected to a grotto inside the luxurious mansion,” another person added.

“The tunnel was probably there when Diddy bought the house!! So maybe get Jack Nicholson on the line and ask him about the underground tunnels in the neighborhood 😂,” a third person tweeted.
Fact-Check:
While there is no available evidence to prove that a tunnel exists, news reports had noted that one of Diddy’s mansions had a pool with an underwater swimming tunnel. However, it was not tied to the Playboy Mansion. In March 2024, Reuters fact-checked such claims, saying 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.
