Rapper 50 Cent has trolled Sean 'Diddy' Combs online after two properties belonging to Combs were raided by federal agents.
On Monday (March 25), agents from Homeland Security Investigations searched the properties, located in Los Angeles and Miami, as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation by authorities in New York.
It is not clear if Combs himself was the target of the investigation.

Police set up a cordon around the Los Angeles home located in the Holmby Hills neighborhood near to Beverley Hills.
Helicopter video from KABC-TV showed agents wearing vests from Homeland Security Investigations gathered near the pool in the property's backyard.
Homeland Security Investigations said in a statement that it had 'executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners'.
After the raid 50 Cent took to Instagram to troll Combs in a post.
"Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done," the rapper posted along with a shrugging emoji.
He added: "They don’t come like that unless they got a case."
Combs has denied allegations, including that he sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl in a recording studio in 2003.
In a statement in December, Combs said: "Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth."
The raid comes one month following music producer Rodney 'Li Rod' Jones filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court in which he alleged that Combs drugged, threatened, and sexually harassed him.
Tyrone Blackburn, a lawyer for Jones and two women who have sued Combs, said in a statement to NBC News: “We can appreciate today’s raids by the federal government; however, today’s events are not going to prevent nor delay my clients’ pending and forthcoming actions for justice and resolution from the Combs RICO Enterprise.”
Comb's former girlfriend R&B singer Cassie also sued him in November.
Cassie came forward publicly, and alleged years of sexual abuse, however, the suit was settled the day after it was filed.
Combs has denied the allegations made against him.
The rapper made his name under the name Puff Daddy, becoming one of the most influential hip-hop music producers in the last 30 years.
UNILAD has reached out to representatives of Combs and Homeland Security Investigations for comment.
