Sean "Diddy" Combs ex-girlfriend Misa Hylton shared security footage of the raid on the rapper's Los Angeles home as she slammed federal agents for "terrorising" their sons.
Ms Hylton is the mother of Diddy's sons Justin Combs, 30, and his brother Christian "King" Combs, 26, who were both handcuffed by agents during the 25 March raid, carried out in connection to a federal sex trafficking investigation.
On 2 April, she took to Instagram to post video of the raid and blasted the "overzealous and overtly militarized force" used that day.
"[The force] used against my sons Justin and Christian is deplorable. If these were the sons of a non-Black celebrity, they would not have been handled with the same aggression," she wrote. "The attempt to humiliate and terrorize these innocent young BLACK MEN is despicable!"
Diddy has also described the actions of agents as a "gross overuse of military-level force" and insisted he is innocent of any wrongdoing, as he faces a growing number of lawsuits including for sexual abuse.
This comes as a victim of the infamous 1999 Club New York shooting spoke out to reveal the extreme lengths she will go to prove Diddy was her attacker.
