P Diddy has been seen relaxing and enjoying drinks with friends just a week after his homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided in a reported sex trafficking investigation.
The rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, has been seen enjoying a glass of wine as he was joined by two friends to sit outside in the sunshine. The music producer snapped pictures as he held a glass of wine in one hand and his phone in another. Diddy appeared to be relaxed despite the ongoing investigations as he enjoyed time with his friends and wore a white T-shirt, black jeans and trainers. He finished off his look with his trademark black sunglasses.
In another snap the music mogul was seen walking outside at his home in Miami, which was subject to a raid last week (March 25) by Homeland Security alongside the rapper's mansion in Los Angeles.
A representative for the law enforcement told The Mirror at the time: "Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available."
The rapper has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. He has called the raid a "witch hunt" and he insisted his sons weren't arrested in a statement to The Mirror. Shortly after the raids, lawyers for the rapper also shared a statement with the Mirror. Lawyer Aaron Dyer said: "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."
Diddy's lawyer added: "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. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name."
The raids came after last year when he faced four sexual abuse lawsuits, including from Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.
