Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team was notified last week by federal authorities in the Southern District of New York that he is a subject of an ongoing criminal investigation, according to two sources familiar with Combs' ongoing legal troubles.

The same sources confirmed that a federal grand jury is hearing evidence as part of the investigation but there is no indication that charges are imminent.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment. Combs' lawyers did not respond to a request for comment.

A subject of an investigation is someone who is within the scope of a criminal investigation, according to legal experts. An individual is designated a target when prosecutors likely intend to seek an indictment from the grand jury against the person.

A person's status can be upgraded or downgraded during an investigation. Combs has not received a target letter, the sources said, and the Southern District of New York is not required to send one.

This news comes three months after Combs' houses were raided in both Los Angeles and Miami by law enforcement officials.

In May, Combs apologized after a video, obtained by CNN, showed him beating his then-girlfriend Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

In a video apology posted to his Instagram, Combs admitted to the incident and said he took "full responsibility."

"It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that," Combs said. "I was f—ed up — I mean, I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses."

Controversial rapper M.I.A. launches clothing line that ‘protects from 5G dust’

British rapper M.I.A. has launched a new conspiracy-laden endeavour with a ‘revolutionary’ clothing line battling radiowaves.

The music star, real name Mathangi ‘Maya’ Arulpragasam, fittingly announced the fashion brand Ohmni on right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ notorious conspiracy website Infowars.

She explained the silver ponchos would protect the wearers from nanoparticles, which she called ‘evil dust’, according to Dazed.

In response, Jones called the collection ‘pure genius’ adding that ‘the CIA is obsessed with style and fashion, that’s how they control culture.’ Ohmni’s mission statement lists various modern-day concerns such as ‘smart cities, digital crypto and internal body data harvesting’ as the impetus behind the fashion line.

The statement continues: ‘OHMNI is your last frontier at preserving your privacy, autonomy, and rights over your body and your data. This is not your artist foray into fashion. This is a necessity.’

The clothing is described as the ‘armour of the modern knight’ during a time when houses are a ‘digital battlefield’.

‘Future backwards is R U TUF. If the conspiracy theorists are wrong, good for you, you own some beautiful clothes made with pure silver and precious metals. But, if they are right, you just might have saved the future of humanity,’ it concludes.

The official Instagram goes into further detail about the design of the clothes. https://www.instagram.com/ohmniofficial

The ‘full protection poncho’ is made with 48% pure copper-nickel and supposedly makes you ‘invisible’ to thermal imaging, drones and UAVs.

It also ‘blocks 99.99% of Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, 5G, Bluetooth, RFID, GPS, Satellite and EMF Radiation.’

Meanwhile the ‘tin foil hat’ serves much the same purpose with ‘100% brain coverage’.
