A video has been released of the messy aftermath after Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles homes were raided by Homeland Security Monday.
According to video obtained by TMZ, the “It’s All About the Benjamins” rapper’s $40 million Holmby Hills mansion was turned upside down by the federal agents, with clothes, shoes and furniture thrown around, safes broken into and documents scattered about.
In the clip, you can also see pieces of Combs’ electronic equipment on the floor and the outlet reported that Homeland Security seized his hard drives during the raid.
In one still from the video, a child’s room was torn apart, with stuffed animals, clothes and pillows sprawled out on the floor and couch.
As Page Six previously reported, Combs’ mansions in both California and Florida were zeroed in on by armed federal agents in possible connection with an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

In a video obtained by Fox 11, several people were taken out of the homes in handcuffs, including Combs’ sons Justin, 30, and Christian, 25.
After the raid was completed, the brothers later fled their father’s LA home with some of their belongings.
Hours later, the Bad Boy Records founder was photographed pacing back and forth outside the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Coincidentally, his private jet landed in Antigua Monday afternoon, but he was not on it.
Page Six learned that the dad of seven was at the airport because he was planning to take his twin daughters, Jesse and D’Lila, 17, to the Bahamas for spring break.
In a statement to Page Six, Combs’ attorney, Aaron Dyer, called the raids a “witch hunt.”
“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 told us.
“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.”
The raids come months after Combs was sued by his ex-girlfriend Cassie, who accused him of raping and physically abusing her throughout their 10-year relationship.
A day later, the exes settled the lawsuit.
The billionaire hip-hop mogul has since been hit with several more lawsuits, accusing Combs of several crimes, including gang rape and sexual assault.
Combs has denied all wrongdoing.
