Misa Hylton shared video footage from the “overtly militarized” raids done on Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes, in which their son, Justin Combs, allegedly had “beams from firearms pointed at his chest.”
“The over zealous and overtly militarized force used against my sons Justin and Christian is deplorable,” she wrote on Instagram Tuesday. (Diddy shares son Christian Combs with the late Kim Porter.)
“If these were the sons of a non-Black celebrity, they would not have been handled with the same aggression. The attempt to humiliate and terrorize these innocent young BLACK MEN is despicable!”

The fashion designer, 51, questioned why her son needed to have “several laser beams from firearms pointed at his chest” and why his brother, Christian, needed “a gun pointed at the back of his head while he was handcuffed.”
“How many times have we seen young UNARMED BLACK MEN not make it out of these types of situations alive??” she continued.
Hylton stated that her son’s attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, is investigating the “excessive use of force,” which she claimed was “unnecessary and certainly not required by this search warrant.”
“We will fight for justice utilizing every imaginable resource. I’m not with the propaganda!!!!” the mom of three concluded.
Last Monday, Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided by Homeland Security due to a possible connection with an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
In a video obtained by Fox 11, several people were taken out of the homes in handcuffs, including the Bad Boy Records founder’s sons Justin, 30, and Christian, 26.

After the raids, Diddy, 54, was seen pacing back and forth outside the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Page Six was told that he was planning to take his twin girls, Jesse and D’Lila, 17, to the Bahamas for Spring Break.
In a statement to Page Six, Combs’ attorney, Aaron Dyer, called the raids a “witch hunt.”
“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,” Dyer told us.
“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.”
Since November, the dad of seven has been hit with several lawsuits, some of which have accused him of rape, physical abuse and sexual assault.
Diddy quickly settled a suit with his ex Cassie after she accused him of raping her, physically abusing her, forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes as he watched and masturbated and introducing her to alcohol and drugs during their decade-long relationship.
Most recently, producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones filed a $30 million lawsuit against the “All about the Benjamins” rapper, claiming that Diddy repeatedly sexually assaulted him while he was working on his latest album from September 2022 to November 2023.
Jones also claimed in the suit that he was forced to solicit sex workers and perform sex acts in front of the the billionaire rap mogul.
50 Cent’s ex Daphne Joy, City Girls rapper Yung Miami and Instagram model Jade Ramey were three women named in the suit that Diddy allegedly “bragged about” paying a “monthly stipend” for their sex work. (Joy and Miami — born Caresha Brownlee — have denied the claims.)
Diddy has vehemently denied all wrongdoing.
