Shocking new footage shows ‘racist’ FBI raid on Diddy’s LA mansion as heavily-armed agents march his sons through house at gunpoint, pin them against walls and park armored tanks outside
The mother of two sons of Sean Diddy Combs has shared footage of the raid on the rapper’s Los Angeles mansion, calling it an “overt militarized (use of) force” and suggesting race played a role in the actions of the FBI.
Misa Hylton shared the images on Instagram on Monday, a week after federal agents raided Diddy’s homes in LA and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation.
She wrote: “The overzealous and overtly militarized violence used against my sons Justin and Christian is deplorable. If these were the sons of a non-black celebrity, they wouldn’t have been treated with the same aggression. The attempt to humiliate and terrorize these innocent young BLACK MEN is despicable!
‘Enough is enough! Did Justin need several laser beams from firearms aimed at his chest? Did Christian need a gun to the back of his head while he was handcuffed?
“How many times have we seen young UNARMED BLACK MEN get out of situations like this alive?”

“My son’s attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, is investigating the excessive use of force that was unnecessary and certainly not required by this search warrant.
‘We will fight for justice using all conceivable means.
‘I’m not with the propaganda!!!’
The rapper’s sons, Justin, 30, and Christian (King) Combs, 25, were briefly detained and then released without charge during the raid.
Combs looked carefree this past weekend as he stepped out for a smoke and a walk along a pier in Miami.
What exactly prompted the raids on Combs’ property on March 25 has yet to be revealed.
However, they came just a month after music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones filed an explosive lawsuit against the rapper, accusing him of serious illegal activities, including sexual assault.
Jones’ filing was preceded by a lawsuit from Combs’ ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura.
Venture settled with Combs out of court for $30 million after accusing him of beating, raping and drugging her throughout their relationship.

At the time the FBI arrived, Diddy was reportedly trying to board his private jet to fly to the Bahamas to spend time with his 17-year-old twin daughters.
His alleged drug mule Brendan Paul, 25, tried to board his plane before being intercepted by police at a Miami-area airport.
The former athlete was called Diddy’s “drug mule” in Jones’ $30 million lawsuit.
The complaint, one of five against Cobs since November, alleged that he was involved in “acquiring and distributing Mr. Combs drugs and weapons.”
Whether Paul’s arrest was related to allegations in the lawsuit or to the raids on Diddy’s property was not confirmed.
Jones alleged in the lawsuit that he “personally witnessed” Paul “acquiring and distributing” drugs to Combs and his entourage, and transporting or planning to transport drugs in luggage on flights.

Combs has denied all allegations against him and stated that he is the victim of a “witch hunt.”
Aaron Dyer, an attorney for the rapper, broke Combs’ silence just over 24 hours after the Homeland Security investigation with a statement to DailyMail.com.
“Yesterday there was a gross, military-level use of force when search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residence.
“There is no excuse for the authorities’ excessive show of force and hostility or for the way his children and employees were treated,” Dyer said.
During the raid, two of Diddy’s sons were detained so that officers could carry out their orders as is customary.
