A man claiming to be Diddy's neighbor has spoken out in footage filmed after the rapper's homes were raided by armed police.

Agents with the US Department of Homeland Security descended on two properties in Miami and Los Angeles belonging to Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, on Monday (March 25).

The raids were carried out in connection to a sex trafficking investigation by federal authorities, who had obtained a warrant out of the Southern District of New York.

It is unclear whether Combs is the target of the federal agents' investigation. Footage of the rapper taken after the raids showed he had not been detained.

As the authorities and reporters arrived at Combs' homes, one man who claimed to be a neighbor of the rapper was filmed driving through the streets and commenting on the situation.

"I live right next to him," the man said in the video, poking his head out of the passenger side window of the silver Bentley.

"He do too much," he said of Combs, before making allegations about how the rapper welcomed people into his home.

"It be like buses, like big-a** buses," he said. "You see all type of s**t hop out. Especially at night time, like around three o'clock in the morning, it gets wild.

"I'm his neighbor. If my basketball go over there, I just let it be because I don't want to knock on the door."

Homeland Security Investigations confirmed the raids had taken place in a statement, saying: "Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.

"We will provide further information as it becomes available."

Reporters arrived on scene after the raids.

The raids come after Combs found himself the subject of a number of lawsuits in recent months, including one in November from his ex-girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, who accused Combs of rape and abuse.

Combs has denied the claims against him, and the pair agreed to settle her complaint just one day after the lawsuit was filed.

Douglas Wigdor, a New York lawyer for Ventura and a representative for a Jane Doe in the federal probe, said of the raids: “We will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law.

“Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct."

UNILAD has reached out to representatives of Combs and Homeland Security Investigations for comment.
