Federal agents have conducted raids on Diddy’s properties in both Beverly Hills and Miami amidst allegations of serious criminal activity.
Video from FOX11 captures the tense moments armed federal agents arrive by boat on March 25 to one of the properties. The footage also shows individuals, including Diddy’s sons, Justin, 30, and King Combs, 25, in handcuffs near the home. It is unclear at this time why the two were in cuffs.

Agents moved inside the Beverly Hills residence with weapons drawn, questioning individuals, though it remains unclear whether Diddy was on the premises. Local police state that Homeland Security is leading the investigation, with aerial support from helicopters and assistance from local law enforcement.
TMZ reports that the raid appears to be tied to sex-trafficking allegations which have been brought forward by different plaintiffs in recent months, and that that the Southern District of New York is handling the case. The producer, 54, has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
