A new video of Diddy’s LA mansion has revealed how the Feds busted safes, turned over pill bottles and left designer clothes strewn across the mogul’s home.
The 54-year-old broke his silence Tuesday to claim he was the victim of a ‘witch hunt’ after agents sensationally raided his estates in Miami Beach and California.
New video obtained by TMZ shows how the hip-hop mogul’s LA pad was turned over by officers – doors cracked open, drawers rifled through and electronic items seized.
Photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com earlier showed his Florida home torn to pieces in similar fashion as law enforcement hunted for evidence in the sex trafficking probe.
Diddy yesterday slammed the Department of Homeland Security for ‘gross overuse of military-level force’ as sources tonight claimed his sons King, 25, and Justin, 30, had been ‘traumatized’ after having guns pointed at them during the LA raid.
The rapper, who is facing a string of sex abuse lawsuits but has not been charged, stressed that he had neither been detained nor arrested, nor had any members of his family, and that he ‘spoke to and cooperated with authorities.’
But as mystery surrounds the investigation, the new images shed light on the extent to which the authorities are pursuing leads – unafraid to flip the billionaire’s life upside down and hurl his possessions around during their search.

Combs, 54, spoke for the first time Tuesday after homeland security agents descended on his properties in Miami and Los Angeles as part of their investigation into alleged sex trafficking
Photos and video exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com show inside his Florida mansion on Star Island with several disheveled rooms, bedrooms turned over and drawers rifled through.
Upon walking toward the entrance, a massive gate was seen clearly broken and off its hinges with several holes in the door and breaks in the concrete.
Photos show multiple doorframes that appear to have been damaged and several bedrooms left a mess with everything from clothing and receipts lying around.
Other video shows how thoroughly the mogul’s laptops and other devices have been gone through, before showing unsettled kitchen appliances.
Everything from stuffed animals to pill bottles were seen strewn across the floor and on both sides of a bedroom.
At one point, cameras showed several large and smaller safes that had clearly been accessed by the feds, though not everything had been taken from them.
The camera eventually turns toward a heartbreaking poster board celebrating Combs.
Dozens of pairs of designer sneakers and other expensive apparel were left behind in a massive walk-in wardrobe.
The feds clearly had turned over as many couches and beds and chairs as they could in an attempt to uncover evidence.
Even the singer’s toiletries were searched and run through in several bathrooms shown on video.
The rapper and Bad Boy impresario’s several Grammys had been left behind on a table display.
A source with knowledge of the situation told DailyMail.com Diddy was not at his Miami home when the raid occurred and he was at the airport when the it went down.
The rapper was on his way to the Caribbean for spring vacation with his two daughters.
He was questioned by federal authorities at the Florida airport, but was not detained or arrested.
No domestic or international travel restrictions has been placed on Diddy, according to the source.
A source also confirmed to DailyMail.com that Diddy and his family were not on his plane when it flew from Florida to the Caribbean on Monday.
They gathered evidence including a ‘number of’ electronic devices, ABC News reports. No criminal charges have been filed, and Diddy has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.
Diddy’s sons King, 25, and Justin, 30, are still traumatized by the raid at the Holmbly Hills mansion, the source revealed.
Federal agents allegedly pointed their weapons and lasers directly on Justin and King, who were partially clothed as they were placed in handcuffs and questioned at the property, the source said.
Combs’ son King looked visibly concerned just a day after his father’s Los Angeles and Miami estates were raided by federal agents, with King and his brother Justin detained by police in video obtained by DailyMail.com.

King and Justin spent a couple of hours at their dad’s mansion Tuesday afternoon for a couple hours and later left back to what appears to be his new provisory home at the Garden House Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Aaron Dyer, an attorney for the rapper, broke Combs’ silence just over 24 hours after the Homeland Security investigation with a statement to DailyMail.com.
‘Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ 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,’ Dyer said.
‘Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities,’ he added. ‘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.’
Combs was seen speaking to customs agents at an airport 15 minutes from his Miami Beach Monday evening but never arrested.
‘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,’ Dyer continued.
‘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.’
Armed agents entered luxury properties on both East and West Coasts of the United States, with video footage showing helicopters circling overhead.
The agents, who were wearing vests, gathered in the home’s backyard near the pool.
Multiple officers were seen carrying bags and boxes of evidence to a van with assistance from police dogs.

There was no immediate official confirmation about what precipitated the raids, but Diddy is currently embroiled in several lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault.
It comes just weeks after one of Diddy’s accusers was ordered to reveal her identity.
The rapper and music mogul has been fighting various legal battles, including one against an unnamed woman who claimed he and two friends sexually assaulted her when she was 17.
After allegedly supplying the woman with ‘copious amounts of drugs and alcohol,’ Diddy and two pals are accused of taking turns violently raping the teen as she drifted in and out of consciousness, leaving her in so much pain that she could barely stand or remember how she got home, according to her complaint.
She says she suffered in silence for 20 years until the R&B singer Cassie sued Combs, her former mentor and ex-boyfriend, for allegedly subjecting her to savage beatings, drug-addled hotel orgies and rape.
Combs denied the claims in that case and the two sides reached an out-of-court settlement barely 24 hours after the suit was made public in November 2023.
After the flurry of subsequent allegations, Diddy tweeted out a new statement under the heading ‘Enough is enough.’
Combs is among the most influential hip-hop producers and executives of the past three decades.
Formerly known as Puff Daddy, he built one of hip-hop´s biggest empires, blazing a trail with several entities attached to his famous name.

While the woman’s identity has yet to be revealed in the lawsuit, a judge just ruled she would no longer be able to stay anonymous if the suit proceeds.
Diddy has filed a motion to have the woman’s case thrown out, and she will reportedly remain anonymous until the judge rules on that motion.
The accuser was the fourth woman to accuse Diddy of sexual assault in quick succession last year after his ex, the singer Cassie, sued him in November 2023, with the two settling out of court.
Douglas Wigdor, an attorney for Cassie and another one of the Jane Does accusing Diddy, responded to the search in a statement to DailyMail.com
‘We will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.’
Music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones Jr., who worked with Combs on ‘The Love Album: Off the Grid,’ is among his accusers.
He filed a lawsuit against the rapper claiming he was ordered to recruit sex workers and have sex with them for the star’s pleasure, and has hundreds of hours of video documenting Combs’s ‘serious illegal activity’.
