Internet speculates Diddy was 'tipped off' as video shows chaotic aftermath of Feds raid on LA house
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: New video of the chaotic aftermath of Homeland Security agents' raids at Sean "Diddy" Combs' houses in Miami and Los Angeles on Monday, March 25, has surfaced amid sex trafficking investigation into the rapper.
The video obtained by TMZ shows that federal officials utterly gutted the $40 million Holmby Hills estate of the 'It's All About the Benjamins' rapper, leaving paperwork all over the place, safes broken into, furniture and clothing strewn everywhere.

Diddy's Los Angeles property was completely upturned by the horde of federal law enforcement personnel, as evident from the footage.
The outlet said that Homeland Security took Diddy's hard drives during the raid, and one can also see components of his computer equipment lying around on the floor in the video.
A child's room was shattered in one of the video's stills, with toys, clothing, and cushions strewn all over the floor and couch.
Aaron Dyer, the hip-hop mogul's lawyer, called the raids a "witch hunt."

Dyer told TMZ, "Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr Combs’ residences."
"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."
The statement was made one day following significant turmoil for Combs and his inner entourage, who was scrutinized on March 25 when federal officials broke into his homes on Miami's Star Island and in Los Angeles.
According to reports, Homeland Security officers stormed through the grounds of his houses brandishing their weapons and dragging people — including his two sons Justin, 30, and Christian, 25 — out.
The Bad Boy Records founder was spotted pacing back and forth outside the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport a few hours later.
The brothers left their father's house in Los Angeles once the raid ended, taking some of their possessions with them, per Page Six.
