Sean 'Diddy' Combs returns to social media, comments restricted after Homeland Security raid
Sean 'Diddy' Combs returned to social media on Easter Sunday and posted adorable photos of his young daughter, nearly a week after Homeland Security raided several of his properties.
The embattled rapper strategically disabled comments on his Instagram posts, and wished followers a Happy Easter from his 1-year-old daughter, Love. Combs has six grown children, none of whom are pictured.
Diddy, already depressed after several of his properties were raided last Monday, resurfaced at his Miami mansion a few days later. At Easter, he was photographed making a phone call on his property.

Following the raid, a US official confirmed to Fox News that they were connected to a federal human trafficking investigation, although it is unclear whether Diddy is the target of federal agents' investigation.
On Tuesday, Diddy's lawyer issued a statement condemning the raid.
“Yesterday, an excessive use of military-level force was executed as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs' residence. No one is responsible for the excessive force and hostility displayed by the officers or the way they treated his children and employees. There is no excuse. Mr. Combs was never taken into custody, but he spoke to authorities and cooperated with them. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any member of his family were arrested, Aaron Dyer said. Nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.

“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 allegations made in civil lawsuits.” There is no finding of any criminal or civil liability for any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every day to clear his name.”
