The mother of Justin Dior Combs, the son of Sean “Diddy” Combs, has accused federal agents of using excessive force during a raid on Combs’ Holmby Hills mansion. Misa Hylton, a designer, posted security footage on Instagram showing the raid conducted by Homeland Security Investigations. The warrants were issued as part of an ongoing sex-trafficking investigation into the influential music mogul. The footage revealed agents dressed in military gear pointing guns and lasers at Combs’ sons. Combs, who was not present during the raid, has denied any wrongdoing and vowed to fight the allegations.
Hylton expressed her outrage at the treatment of her sons, stating that the force used by the agents was deplorable and racially motivated. She argued that if her sons were the children of a non-Black celebrity, they would not have been subjected to the same aggression. Hylton’s son and Christian “King” Combs were briefly detained but not arrested during the raid.
The investigation into Combs stems from multiple civil lawsuits filed against him, accusing him of rape, assault, and other abuses dating back several decades. One of the allegations involves a minor. Combs’ former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, also known as Cassie, accused him of rape and physical assaults. Another lawsuit alleges that Combs and former Bad Boy label president Harve Pierre gang-raped and sex-trafficked a 17-year-old girl.
Federal authorities have provided limited information about the case, but sources familiar with the operation revealed that safes were emptied, electronics dismantled, and papers left scattered throughout Combs’ residence. The security system was disabled, and the hard drive was seized by federal agents.
Hylton’s comments echo those made by Combs’ criminal attorney, Aaron Dyer, who criticized the federal agents for their excessive use of force. Dyer referred to the raid as an “unprecedented ambush” and a “witch hunt” based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.
