The man who allegedly worked as Sean “Diddy” Combs’ drug mule was arrested in Miami on Monday when federal agents intercepted the famed rapper’s private jet.

Brendan Paul, 25, was booked on two separate drug charges — one count of possession of suspected cocaine and another of possession of suspected marijuana candy.

In the affidavit, obtained byTMZ, officers claim that while they were working in conjunction with staffers from Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection, they came across what appeared to be narcotics.

Authorities tested the substances, which turned out to be drugs, and arrested Paul.

He was booked but already has been bailed out of jail.

Lawyers for Paul and Combs, 54, didn’t immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

Paul was first mentioned in Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones’ February lawsuit against Diddy, in which he claimed the music mogul sexually assaulted him while working on his 2022 album.

Jones claimed Paul served as Diddy’s confidant and frequently carried a firearm on his person. In the lawsuit, obtained by Page Six, Jones further alleged that Paul “acquires and distributes” guns and drugs for Combs.

The music producer also claimed Paul would “negotiate the fees sex workers received” while working for Combs.

Combs has vehemently denied all of Jones’ allegations.

The Department of Homeland Security raided Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles estates on Monday in connection to a sex-trafficking investigation.

With guns drawn, federal agents busted into the multi-hyphenate’s houses and were seen carrying bags of electronic devices away from the manses.

Although it was initially believed Combs had taken his jet to Antigua, he was later spotted pacing outside the Miami airport.

However, sources told Page Six that the Making the Band creator had planned to travel to the Bahamas to celebrate his twin daughters’ spring break.

His sons Justin and King, who were seen being handcuffed at the $US40 million Los Angeles mansion, were later photographed returning to the house to grab some belongings before fleeing again.
