Diddy’s attorney blasted the “military-level force” federal authorities used while raiding the rapper’s Florida and California homes Monday.
The hip-hop mogul is being investigated for sex-trafficking, according to law enforcement sources, allegations which his attorney, Aaron Dyer, blasted as a “witch hunt.”

“There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.”
Diddy’s sons Justin Combs, 30, and King Combs, 25, were briefly handcuffed and detained after being removed from the LA house, but were not arrested and are not thought to be part of the federal investigation.
Authorities targeted 54-year-old Diddy’s two residences in Los Angeles and Miami to seize his phones and computers, law enforcement sources told The Post.

“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 added.
Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, was not arrested or charged “but spoke to and cooperated with authorities,” his lawyer said.
