Diddy feels that this week’s cross-country raids on his multiple homes were a “gross overuse” of force.
In a statement provided to HipHopDX by the music mogul’s attorney Aaron Dyer, his camp spoke out against the investigation by federal agents while also clarifying that neither Diddy nor any of his family members were arrested.
“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” the statement reads. “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. Despite 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 – paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence – 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. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
As previously reported, Diddy’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided on Monday, with at least two helicopters patrolling the airspace above the latter.
A Homeland Security Investigations representative said: “Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available.”
The case is reportedly being handled by the Southern District of New York in relation to the multiple allegations recently brought against Diddy for sexual harassment and misconduct.
Last month, a producer named Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones (who worked on The Love Album: Off the Grid) accused Diddy of sexual harassment as well as drugging and threatening him over the course of a year.
In his lawsuit, Rod alleged that a man named Brendan Paul was Diddy’s “drug mule,” and Rolling Stone reported that Paul was taken into custody for possession of marijuana and cocaine at 4:30 p.m. ET on Monday (March 25).
A family member of Paul’s confirmed to the outlet that he had been arrested. It is unclear whether the arrest has any relation to Diddy.
They always come like that. As many criminals and drug dealers he’s been associated with and used to kill or shut people up, he knows this. Next out of his mouth will be some black unity shit when he’s one of the race traitors who sold the culture out as long as he could do what he wanted to do all those years.
Lol. You definitely called out the blueprint
Fruit Daddy’s on his own. No one outside of his tax bracket is riding for him.
Dude must have lots of dirt (pics, video, etc.) on some very important politicians. The dirt was going to be discovered in these lawsuits against him. Government had to go take care of business.
Exactly what did you expect? They had a search warrant and that’s what they did execute the warrant. See this is want happens when you play gangsta you get treated like on. Carry on!!!
Great music of our time
Trump will win by a landslide. Biden is getting boatraced. Biggest miscalculation ever. Puffy is legitimate whether you like him or not. Being a label head isn’t against the law.
Is he being charged with heading a label? Trump is gonna win by a landslide??? Like he did in 2020??? When he got spanked by 7 million votes??? Log tf off.
Fax. Biden is the most popular president in history! I’m glad migrants are being out before black people in the cities. The migrants deserve the head start to catch up. Blacks have been here for a long time and will be surpassed by the brown migrants in a matter of a few years. Thank you biden for actually having compassion. Migrants first!!!!
@not so fast… you just responded to an obvious troll. Don’t feed the troll fool.
TRUMP WILL WHEN HIS DAY IN PRISON WHERE HE BELONGS LIKE MOST OF HIS SUPPORTERS AND FAMILY
@Fax….Biden is not the most popular president in history. Even counting all the ILLEGAL migrants. Admit it, you pulled that outta Diddy’s ass….Question: If brown’s are the new black’s, does that make black’s the new white’s? Asking for a friend…
