DETECTIVES working on the Diddy case have reportedly flown to the UK to search for possible British victims.
Sean Combs, 54, is awaiting trial after being charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution earlier this month.
The 90s rap icon has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges against him and has now been denied bail on multiple occasions.
His attorney Marc Agnifilo announced recently that they have no plans to take a plea bargain going forward – vowing to fight the charges.
Investigations into the concerning allegations are ongoing as Diddy awaits trial with US investigators now said to be in the UK to look for more possible victims.
A team of detectives reportedly arrived in London this week after concerns were raised that the musician may have abused women in the UK.
Combs had been seen in London on regular occasions during his 30-year reign as a top music boss to upcoming artists.
Appearing on talk shows, movie sets and for a number of business trips to the English capital.
He had even rubbed shoulders with royalty and musical legends.
One of his first high profile trips across the Atlantic came in 2001 when he attended Sir Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball in Windsor.
Then in 2007 he was invited back as one of the stars of the Concert for Diana show held at Wembley.
Combs was pictured with Prince William and Harry at a backstage party later that evening.

Months later he was seen leaving a high-profile event in London which was also attended by many British legends such as David and Victoria Beckham.
He then spent two years between the US and UK for his role in the film Get Him to the Greek.
Combs made a cameo in the movie that saw Russell Brand and Jonah Hill star.
In June 2010, Combs launched his new fashion brand Sean John in London.
He gave a speech at the event saying: “I have always enjoyed travelling throughout Europe and spend much of my vacation time here.
“London truly feels like a second home to me.”
It’s not thought any of the celebrities or royals seen around Combs were involved in any of the activities he is now being investigated for.
The team of US detectives currently in the UK is reportedly being led by Damian Williams – the same prosecutor who built a successful case against Jeffrey Epstein’s right hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell.
A source told The Mirror: “Outside of the States, he enjoyed no place more than the UK.
“Given the huge amount of time he spent in London, there are concerns that the alleged offending was not confined to America’s shores.
“Prosecutors are imploring anyone in the UK who may have information they feel could help the investigation to get in touch.”
Diddy is currently being held in the infamous Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, which formerly housed fellow disgraced musician R. Kelly and Maxwell.
Accused of running a sex crime empire, Diddy has denied the allegations against him stemming from a months-long investigation.
Combs is adamant that he is innocent and plans to fight the case until the end.
Mr Agnifilo has even claimed that racism is playing a significant role in the case and that his client’s situation is just another example of the federal government’s animosity towards successful black men.
Diddy is said to agree with these remarks, according to his lawyer.
It comes as a former prisoner in the Metropolitan Detention Center claims the entertainer may be refusing to eat due to paranoia, NewsNation reported.
He is also said to be on suicide watch due to the allegations against him.
A former bodyguard has also claimed the accused rapper kept Jeffrey Epstein-style tapes of his “freak off” parties.
Combs is accused of inducing female victims and sex workers into drugged-up, days-long sex parties.
Some women reportedly had to be strapped up to IV drips following the sex sessions to recover, according to prosecutors.
