Two days after Diddyβs Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided by federal officers in connection to an alleged sex trafficking investigation, footage of the LA homeβs aftermath has been released to the public.
In video obtained by TMZ, several areas in Diddyβs 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, Diddyβs attorney Aaron Dyer described the raids an βunprecedented ambushβ and a βwitch hunt.β He also addressed social media speculation that neither his client nor any of Diddyβs children have been arrested:
βYesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combsβ 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.
βDespite 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 β paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence β 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.
βMr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.β
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 βLil Rodβ 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.
