Sean “P Diddy” Combs has issued a statement to Fox News. Read below:
“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” his attorney, Aaron Dyer, said to Fox News Digital.
“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. 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.”
He added, “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.”
Sources with direct knowledge have told TMZ that P Diddy was reportedly “surprised” by the raids that occurred in his homes yesterday.
At the time the raids took place, Diddy was reportedly on his way to spend spring break with some of his children. It’s reported that two of his sons were in one of his homes during the raid.
