Mill, 38, was friends with Sean “Diddy” Combs, 55, before he began distancing himself from the music mogul following the start of a sex trafficking case against him in 2024, according to The Mirror.

TMZ also learned that police did not find the alleged firearm. No arrests took place, and all three men were let go.
Meek breaks silence on the incident
The rapper spoke out about the incident on social media platform X shortly after it all went down. He told his 11 million followers that police “pulled” him from his car and handcuffed him—claiming they even had guns trained on him. However, the video online does not show what he described.
The hitmaker dubbed the entire ordeal “embarrassing” and even admitted he thought it was a prank, though he later wrote on social media he now thinks, “They tryna get me …” TMZ reached out to Meek’s rep for more information, and so far no response has been received.
