Two days after Diddyโs Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided by federal officers in connection to an alleged sex trafficking investigation, footage of the LA homeโs aftermath has been released to the public.

In video obtained by TMZ, several areas in Diddyโs lavish L.A. home can be seen in disarray. Clothes, shoes, documents, toys, furniture, office supplies, bathroom items and more were manipulated by multiple Homeland Security officers.
In a statement sent to Variety, Diddyโs attorney Aaron Dyer described the raids an โunprecedented ambushโ and a โwitch hunt.โ He also addressed social media speculation that neither his client nor any of Diddyโs children have been arrested:
โYesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combsโ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.
โDespite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested, nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way. This unprecedented ambush โ paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence โ leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations.
โMr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.โ
As previously reported by The Root, Diddy faces a myriad of sexual assault allegations as well as a bombshell sexual harassment lawsuit from one of his former producers, Rodney โLil Rodโ Jones. The Bad Boy mogul has since stepped down as chairman of his media platform Revolt and has allegedly sold it to an anonymous new buyer for an undisclosed amount.
