Diddy‘s ex-girlfriend and baby mother Misa Hylton has shared unseen CCTV footage of the federal raid of the Bad Boy Records founder and slammed the treatment of his sons.
Hylton, who is the mother of 30-year-old Justin Combs, uploaded the videos to Instagram on Tuesday (April 2) along with an outspoken message criticizing the use of excessive force during the raid on Puffy’s Los Angeles home last week.

In the home security footage, heavily armed Homeland Security personnel can be seen working their way through the house, handcuffing the occupants and pointing guns at those inside — including Justin and his younger brother Christian.
“The over zealous and overtly militarized force used against my sons Justin and Christian is deplorable,” Hylton wrote. “If these were the sons of a non-Black celebrity, they would not have been handled with the same aggression. The attempt to humiliate and terrorize these innocent young BLACK MEN is despicable!

“Enough is Enough! Did Justin need several laser beams from firearms pointed at his chest?? Did Christian need a gun pointed at the back of his head while he was handcuffed?? How many times have we seen young UNARMED BLACK MEN not make it out of these types of situations alive??”
She added that she and Justin are exploring legal action in response to the raid: “My son’s Attorney Jeffrey Lichtman is investigating the excessive use of force which was unnecessary and certainly not required by this search warrant.
“We will fight for justice utilizing every imaginable resource. I’m not with the propaganda!!!!”
Previously leaked footage of the raid revealed that Diddy’s L.A. mansion was left in a mess by Homeland Security, who also raided a separate home in Miami.
In the leaked videos, office drawers can be seen pulled open, documents thrown everywhere and safes broken into.

After the raids, Christian Combs made a comment on Instagram saying: “Stop with the [blue cap emoji],” appearing to suggest that people do not know the full story behind the incident.
The raids were conducted by Homeland Security as part of an investigation into sex trafficking involving Diddy after multiple lawsuits were filed against the Hip Hop mogul accusing him of rape, sexual assault and sex trafficking.
He has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and slammed the raids on his homes.
“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” his lawyer said in a statement. “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.”
Despite battling multiple civil suits in court, Diddy has yet to receive any criminal charges.
