Sean “Diddy” Combs East maintain his innocence.
After the federal agents raided his houses in Miami and Los Angeles on March 25, the rapper’s lawyer addressed the situation, accusing the government of initiating a “witch hunt” against Combs.
“Yesterday, there was an excessive use of military force when search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ home,” his attorney said. Aaron Dyer said in a March 26 statement to E! News. “There is no excuse for the excessive display of force and hostility by the authorities or for the way his children and employees were treated.”
The “Bad Boy for Life” artist was at no time arrested, but rather “spoke and cooperated with authorities,” according to his lawyer, who clarified that no member of his family was arrested .
“This unprecedented ambush, coupled with an advanced and coordinated media presence, is leading to a premature rush to judgment for Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on baseless accusations made in lawsuits civil rights,” said the lawyer. “None of these allegations have resulted in criminal or civil charges. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every day to clear his name.”
