The Los Angeles residence of Diddy, the founder of Bad Boy Records, was raided by Homeland Security as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
The raid’s aftermath was captured in leaked footage, revealing a scene of disarray and destruction.
The footage published by TMZ paints a vivid picture of the chaos left behind by the federal agents. Personal belongings were scattered haphazardly, drawers were left open, and documents were strewn about. The agents did not stop just rummaging through the house, safes were cracked open and computers were dismantled.
A close inspection of a computer in the footage showed that the hard drives had been removed. The living area was in a state of upheaval, with chairs tipped over and plush toys tossed aside. The scene was reminiscent of a military-level raid, leaving Diddy’s home in disarray.
The raid had far-reaching effects, extending beyond the confines of Diddy’s home. Ridley Scott, the acclaimed director of American Gangster and Diddy’s neighbor, found himself unable to return home due to the law enforcement blockade. Scott observed the situation from the sidewalk.
