Sean Diddy Combs lawyer responded after federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security raided the rap moguls properties in Miami and Los Angeles on Monday following multiple allegations of violence and sexual abuse against the Bad Boy Records founder.

[T]here was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs residences, his attorney Aaron Dyer told E! News in a statement Tuesday . There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities.

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, added Dyer.

The simultaneous raids in Star Island on Miami Beach and in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles were captured in progress by news helicopters and showed no signs of Combs, who spoke to and cooperated with authorities, according to Dyer.

A rep for the Department of Homeland Securitys investigation division told HuffPost in a statement Monday that the raids were part of an ongoing investigation. Combs has been accused of violence and sexual abuse by at least four people since late 2023.

His attorney stated Tuesday that there has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations.

The first lawsuit was filed in November by Combs former girlfriend, singer-songwriter Cassie Ventura .
