Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Speaks Out About Federal Raid: ‘There Was a Gross Over-Use of Military Force’

The Bad Boy Records founder’s lawyer issued a statement assuring that he was not arrested, and he said that the raid was part of a “witch hunt” against him.

Diddy’s attorney Aaron Dyer accused the government of using excessive force while searching his home reportedly as part of a sex trafficking investigation in his statement, released on Tuesday, March 26. “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,” he said.
