Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his son Justin ‘Dior’ Combs were seen together for the first time since the raid on the rapper’s homes, as the pair relaxed in Miami on Sunday.
The Grammy Award winner, 54, enjoyed a leisurely stroll around his exclusive community of Star Island with Justin, 30, who was detained last month when federal agents swarmed the family’s LA mansion amid a sex trafficking investigation.
Cutting a casual figure in T-shirt and shorts, Diddy appeared in high spirits as he placed his hand on Justin’s shoulder during an intimate father-son moment.
They were joined by Justin’s girlfriend, Stephanie Rao, as both Justin and Stephanie enjoyed a glass of wine during the outing.
The afternoon retreat comes as Diddy raised eyebrows by taking to Instagram to share a snippet of his 1998 Victory music video, which depicts him running from a SWAT team.
In the clip, Puff Daddy, as he was known when Victory was released in 1997, raps alongside the late The Notorious B.I.G.
The music video also features Danny DeVito, who remarks that Diddy’s character has evaded capture for years before the words ‘Most Wanted’ appear onscreen.
Diddy captioned the post: ‘Bad Boy for life.’
Federal agents raided rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles in connection to an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation.
Sources told ABC News that two of Diddy’s sons were detained then released without charges. TMZ identified them as Justin and Christian ‘King’ Combs.
Diddy was not present during the raids, and was seen pacing around Miami airport shortly after.
Combs’ lawyer Aaron Dyer has slammed how the situation was handled, saying a day after the raids: ‘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.
‘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 came after the Harlem-born hip-hop star was hit with a slew of lawsuits alleging sexual assault, rape, and other crimes after he settled his ex-girlfriend Cassie’s similar lawsuit in November.
‘Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation, and my legacy,’ Diddy wrote December 6 in his only statement on the matter.
‘Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth.’
The suit alleged he controlled and abused her for over a decade – as well as plying her with drugs, beating her, and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes while he watched and recorded.
Cassie and multiple other women who have sued him for sexual assault in recent months are reportedly cooperating with federal investigators as an alleged sex trafficking probe involving the hip hop mogul heats up.
Cassie has been working with investigators for ‘several weeks,’ sources with direct knowledge told TMZ on Wednesday.
The timing means that the 37-year-old singer may have even been working with feds in the run-up to the dual Homeland Security raids on the rapper-turned-executive’s Los Angeles and Miami mansions.
Sources with knowledge of the investigation said that Cassie may have helped authorities establish the probable cause needed to get a judge to sign off on search warrants on the two mansions.
