— In a bombshell revelation that has sent shockwaves through the entertainment and political spheres, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has claimed that Janice Combs, mother of hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, fled the United States with $400 million of her son’s inheritance amid his ongoing legal battles. Leavitt’s statement, made during a recent press briefing, has thrown the government and the FBI into what she described as a “crisis,” intensifying scrutiny on the high-profile Diddy case. The claim, dubbed by Leavitt as exposing “a devil in disguise,” has ignited a firestorm on social media platforms like X, where hashtags like #DiddyCrisis and #LeavittExposes are trending.
Leavitt, known for her outspoken critiques, alleged that Janice Combs orchestrated a covert exit from the U.S., taking a substantial portion of Diddy’s wealth as his September 2024 arrest for racketeering and sex trafficking charges continues to unravel Hollywood’s elite. “While everyone’s focused on Diddy, his mother slipped away with $400 million, leaving the FBI scrambling,” Leavitt stated, without providing specific evidence. The accusation has fueled speculation about financial misconduct tied to Diddy’s legal woes, with some X users praising Leavitt’s boldness, posting, “She’s exposing the truth no one else dares touch!” Others, however, dismissed the claim as unverified, with one user writing, “No proof, just drama—Leavitt’s stirring the pot again.”
The FBI, already under pressure from Diddy’s case, which involves allegations of a “treasure trove” of incriminating videos and over 120 victims, has not publicly confirmed Leavitt’s claims about Janice Combs. Reports of celebrities allegedly fleeing the country following Diddy’s arrest have surfaced before, but fact-checks, such as those from Snopes, have debunked similar narratives involving figures like Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Lopez, labeling them as misinformation. Leavitt’s statement risks adding to this wave of unverified rumors, though her position as a high-profile Trump administration figure amplifies its impact.
The government’s “crisis,” as Leavitt described, reportedly stems from the FBI’s struggle to track financial flows linked to Diddy’s empire, raising questions about oversight and international cooperation. Her remarks align with her pattern of challenging establishment narratives, as seen in her recent CNN clash and critiques of the U.S. healthcare system’s “severe crisis.” Yet, the lack of concrete evidence has drawn skepticism, with critics arguing she’s leveraging the Diddy case for political clout. “Karoline’s playing to the base, but where’s the receipts?” one X post questioned.

As Diddy’s trial looms, with damning allegations and celebrity connections under scrutiny, Leavitt’s claim has heightened public fascination. Whether her accusation proves true or joins the ranks of debunked rumors, it underscores her knack for commanding attention. The FBI’s next moves and Janice Combs’ whereabouts remain uncertain, but Leavitt’s bold narrative has ensured the Diddy saga remains a lightning rod for controversy.
