In a statement released on Tuesday (March 26) Diddy’s attorney, Aaron Dyer slammed the searches, describing it as an “excessive show of force” and maintaining his client’s innocence.

“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” Dyer said.

“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.” He continued.

Dyer added, “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.

“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.”

Criminal defense lawyer Donna Rotunno said with HSI appearing at Diddy’s doorstep, it’s “just the beginning” as to what could come next for the three-time Grammy award-winning rapper who not only found his own success in the business, but also helped cultivate the careers of award-winning artists including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige, R&B singer Usher, Faith Evans, Mase, and Lil Kim.

Monday’s investigation marks another incident in Combs’ history with legal entanglements.

Back in April 1999, Combs found himself in trouble when he was arrested on charges of felony second-degree assault and criminal mischief.

The altercation unfolded as he clashed with music executive Steve Stoute over imagery in a music video featuring his client, Nas. Opting for a plea deal, Combs eventually admitted to a lesser charge of harassment, settling the matter out of court with a hefty sum of $500,000 paid to Stoute.
