Sean “Diddy” Combs took a smoke break on the dock of his Miami mansion Saturday, less than a week after the lavish property and his $40 million LA estate were raided in connection to a 𝑠e𝑥-trafficking probe.
The Bad Boy executive, 54, was photographed shirtless, wearing nothing but white shorts as he took some puffs in the agreeable Florida weather and then made his way back indoors. At another point, though, he was seen rocking a white bucket hat as well and had an extra large gold pendant necklace and an orange towel around his neck.

Earlier this week, the feds turned Combs’ homes upside down as they looked for evidence.
Shortly after the searches took place on Monday, the “Last Night” rapper was seen pacing back and forth outside the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport.
An insider previously informed Page Six Combs was detained there as he was headed to the Bahamas with his 17-year-old twin daughters, Jessie James and D’Lila Star.
On Thursday, the father of seven was seen spending some quality time with the teen girls at Top Golf in the Miami Beach area. He even smiled and flashed a peace sign at photographers as he walked away.

The raid on Combs’ homes — which saw several people, including his sons Justin and King, handcuffed and questioned — came after several people accused him of 𝑠e𝑥ual assault and harassment.
He quickly settled with his on-again, off-again ex, Cassandra Ventura, after she sued him for rape and abuse in November 2023. Despite the settlement, his lawyer asserted that he was innocent.
“Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing,” attorney Ben Brafman told Page Six in a statement after the settlement.

“Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.”
Since then, he has been sued for gang-raping a minor, 𝑠e𝑥 trafficking and drugging a female on a date before 𝑠e𝑥ually assaulting her.
