The mother of two of Sean Diddy Combs’ children has shared footage of the raid on the rapper’s Los Angeles mansion, calling it “overtly militarized (use of) force” and suggesting race played a role in the FBI’s actions. .
Misa Hylton shared the images on Instagram on Monday, a week after federal agents raided Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation.
She wrote: ‘The overzealous and openly militarized force used against my sons Justin and Christian is deplorable. If they were the children of a non-black celebrity, they would not have been treated with the same aggression. The attempt to humiliate and terrorize these innocent BLACK youth is despicable!
‘Enough is enough! Did Justin need several laser beams from firearms aimed at his chest? Did Christian need a gun to be pointed at the back of his head while he was handcuffed?
‘How many times have we seen young, unarmed BLACK MEN not get out of these types of situations alive?
The mother of two of Sean Diddy Combs’ children, Misa Hylton, has shared footage of the FBI raid on the rapper’s Los Angeles mansion, calling it an “overtly militarized force.”
Federal agents are seen inside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ home in Los Angeles.
‘My son’s attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, is investigating the excessive use of force, which was unnecessary and certainly not required by this search warrant.
‘We will fight for justice using every resource imaginable.
‘I’m not with the propaganda!!!’
The rapper’s sons, Justin, 30, and Christian (King) Combs, 25, were briefly detained and later released without charge during the raid.
Combs was seen looking carefree over the weekend while heading out for a smoke and a stroll along a Miami pier.
Exactly what precipitated the raids on Combs’ properties on March 25 has not yet been 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’ appearances were preceded by a lawsuit from Combs’ ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura.
Venture settled out of court with Combs for $30 million after accusing him of beating, raping and drugging her throughout their relationship.
Homeland Security Investigations agents who raided Diddy’s home on Monday seized surveillance footage of them entering his Los Angeles-area mansion amid allegations of sex trafficking, according to TMZ.
Agents arrived at his properties in Miami and Los Angeles as part of their investigation into alleged sex trafficking.

At the time the feds struck, Diddy was said to be 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, was attempting to board with him before he was intercepted by police at a Miami-area airport.
The former athlete was referred to as Diddy’s ‘drug mule’ in Jones’ $30 million lawsuit.
The complaint, one of five filed against Cobs since November, alleged that he was involved in “acquiring and distributing drugs and weapons from Mr. Combs.”
It was not confirmed whether Paul’s arrest was related to the allegations in the lawsuit or the raids on Diddy’s properties.
Jones claimed in the lawsuit that he “personally witnessed” Paul “acquiring and distributing” drugs to Combs and his entourage, and transporting or intending to transport drugs in flight luggage.

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