Diddy<\/a>‘s company is being sued after allegedly failing to close a multi-million dollar deal to sell his home on Star Island near Miami.<\/p>\n

A man named John Franklin is suing 1 West Star Island LLC — the corporation which technically owns Diddy’s mansion in the affluent neighborhood … claiming he entered into an agreement back in March to buy the home for $55 million.<\/p>\n

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Franklin says the closing date was set for May 12 … but when it came around, he claims the company was “not ready or able to close” the deal even though he was.<\/p>\n

Specifically, Franklin claims 1 West Star Island wasn’t able to provide a clear title by the closing date by failing to provide some paperwork about a couple mortgages on the property.<\/p>\n

He notes there’s a mediation clause baked into the contract … and he says he will go to mediation to work out the deal — but he’s filing the lawsuit out of an abundance of caution to protect his interest in the property.<\/p>\n

Franklin’s asking a judge to enforce the contract and force the sale.<\/p>\n

Diddy’s Star Island home made headlines as one of the properties the feds raided<\/a> months before the rapper’s September 2024 arrest<\/a> in New York City.<\/p>\n

Officers arrived by boat to search the compound in March 2024 … and the feds later released photos of what they found … including sex toys on a shelving unit near Vaseline and Astroglide lube.<\/p>\n

Diddy’s currently serving time<\/a> at Fort Dix — a federal prison in New Jersey. He’s expected to be released<\/a> in February 2028.<\/p>\n

The Star Island home has been a key part of Diddy’s case … every time he tried to get released on bail — after the arrest and between his verdict and sentencing — he proposed living there<\/a> and offered it up as collateral<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ve reached out to Diddy’s camp … so far, no word back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Diddy’s Company Sued They Backed Out of Star Island Home Sale at Last Second!
