Sean Diddy behind Los Angeles wildfires? Here's what's fueling the viral theory

The wildfires in Los Angeles have destroyed thousands of homes and claimed 24 lives. Among the affected are many celebrities, including Paris Hilton and Wicked music producer Greg Wells, whose homes have been reduced to ashes. However, the mansion of disgraced music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs remains untouched, sparking viral conspiracy theories.

Former government official Catherine Austin Fitts has publicly questioned how many people connected to Sean "Diddy" Combs have been affected by the fires. “In situations like [the L.A. fires], I look at patterns,” Fitts said on her podcast. “I look at some of the communities involved ... how many of the homeowners were on the P. Diddy list?” The "Diddy List" is an unverified list of celebrities allegedly connected to parties hosted by Combs where misconduct reportedly occurred.

Fitts, who served as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President George H.W. Bush, also suggested on her podcast that the fires might not be accidental. “It's hard to conceive the original fires weren't triggered from the sky or from the suborbital platform," she stated.



Social media users have also speculated about a possible link between the fires and Combs. Some have pointed to comments made by Ally Carter, who accused Combs of assault, in a resurfaced video clip from October 2024. "Watch for those fires. Explosions make fires too,” Carter stated in the video. “Explosions make accidental fires too, and then oops, we don't know how that happened."

Currently, Diddy remains incarcerated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Brooklyn, awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. His bail requests have been repeatedly denied. Meanwhile, reports claiming his Los Angeles mansion was damaged in the fires have been refuted.

Notably, investigators are still working to determine the cause of the wildfires, which remain unclear. While lightning is the most common cause of wildfires in the U.S., investigators have ruled it out, as there were no lightning reports in the affected areas, including Palisades and the Eaton Fire site in East Los Angeles County.

The two most likely causes under investigation are arson and fires sparked by utility lines. Over the past week, the flames have ravaged several densely populated neighborhoods, including Pacific Palisades and Altadena, forcing 150,000 residents to evacuate. More than 700 evacuees have sought refuge in nine shelters as firefighters continue battling the blazes.
