Following the raid that took place at rapper/ mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs LA and Miami residences Monday, his attorney Aaron Dyer released a statement Tuesday.
“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. 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.”
This statement came after Homeland Security and several federal agents along with multiple law enforcement agencies raided his homes looking for laptops, flash drives, and anything that would connect Combs to the allegations.
Combs is accused of drugging, raping and sexually assaulting several women.
He’s also facing multiple lawsuits, including one from a former music producer, his ex girlfriend Cassie and a woman who claims she was sexually abused by Diddy while she was underage.
Combs attorney, Shawn Holley, says all these allegations are false. The case involving Cassie was settled the day after it was filed.
