Debunked: Does P Diddy really have secret underground tunnels beneath his mansion?

Some claim the tunnels lead straight to the Playboy mansion


Back in March of this year, the various houses of rapper P Diddy were raided by federal authorities, and rumours were quickly sparked that they’d actually found underground tunnels beneath his LA residence that led directly to the Playboy mansion.

During the raids, police said they had found many of his “freak off” accessories including narcotics and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil, but did they really find underground tunnels?


Alleged screenshots from an apparent CNN broadcast of the raids showed what was supposed to be the underground tunnels, with those on Twitter claiming the tunnel led directly to the Playboy mansion.

Whilst there were actually a series of underground tunnels that led from the Playboy Mansion to various celebrities’ homes such as Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty, these were reportedly sealed off and shut down in the 1980s, as reported by People.


But the rumour that P Diddy has a series of underground tunnels beneath his LA mansion is false. Reuters confirmed in March that the claims were false and that the CNN screenshot of the tunnel was a “manipulated image and not something CNN reported.”

Whilst Diddy does have an underground pool with a large grotto attached to it, it’s definitely not connected to the Playboy mansion but it could explain why some people thought he had an underground tunnel built into his home.
