The most recent photos, taken on Easter Sunday, showed the hip-hop mogul standing in the yard of his Miami Beach home while on the phone.
Combs appeared to be stressed while making gestures with his free hand as he walked around the pool at his Star Island mansion.
His outfit was kept casual with a white T-shirt, black sweatpants, and beige slide sandals.
Combs seemed to be in a completely different mood than the day before when he was photographed drinking wine, smoking, and dancing by himself.
He was seen walking shirtless around the yard of his Miami home once more, opting for only a pair of white shorts and a matching bucket hat.
RAIDED BY FEDS
The spotting came just days after both his Miami and Los Angeles homes were raided by federal agents.
The homes were searched by Homeland Security as part of a federal investigation into sex trafficking allegations.
While much of the information was left disclosed, a video showed the feds taking laptops and big boxes out of Combs’ Miami mansion.
Footage obtained by TMZ also showed his California property turned upside down in the raid.
Combs’ attorney, Aaron Dyer, condemned the “unprecedented” raids on Tuesday and said the rapper was innocent.
“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residence,” Dyer said.
“There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.
“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 accusations made in civil lawsuits.”
Dyer added that there had been “no finding of criminal or civil liability” with any of the allegations against Combs, saying the rapper will “continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
BOMBSHELL LAWSUIT
The raids came after Combs was met with various allegations, which included a bombshell $30 million lawsuit against him.

The lawsuit was filed by Combs’ former employee, Rodney “Lil Rod.”
Part of it claimed Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Yung Miami, was paid a monthly fee to provide sexual favors for the rapper.
She seemed to deny the allegations on X, writing, “Something the internet made up and yall ran with it!
“Ni**as don’t even pay that for child support why tf would a ni**a ever pay me 250k for. FOR WHAT??”
Daphne Joy, the ex of 50 Cent, was also named in the lawsuit as being part of an alleged sex trafficking ring operated by Combs.
Joy denied the allegations, writing on Instagram: “I am deeply hurt by the lies in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit.
“The claim that I am a sex worker is 100% false and character assassination.”
Jones also claimed that Combs sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him while they worked together.
He alleged that he was told to recruit prostitutes and have sex with them for the artist’s pleasure.
The deadline to respond to the allegations has not yet come up and some of the defendants have moved to dismiss the case, per CNN.
OTHER ALLEGATIONS
In November, Combs’ ex, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, accused him of sexually abusing and assaulting her throughout their relationship, which ended in 2018.
Cassie’s lawsuit claimed she endured “a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” during their decade-long relationship.
Recent lawsuits against Diddy
Diddy was hit with a wave of lawsuits in late 2023 and early 2024 with allegations of sex trafficking and sexual assault. He has denied all claims against him.
Cassie, Diddy’s longtime girlfriend, sued him in November 2023, claiming she endured “a cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking” until their relationship ended in 2018. Diddy and Cassie settled the suit the day after it was filed.
Diddy was hit with two more lawsuits a week later. Joi Dickerson accused Diddy of drugging and raping her and filming the attack when she was a 19-year-old college student in January 1991.
A second accuser in a separate lawsuit claimed that Diddy and another man sexually assaulted her and a friend in 1990 or 1991 then showed up at her apartment and beat her several days later.
Diddy was sued again in December by a woman who claimed he and two men gang-raped her in 2003 when she was 17 years old.
In February 2024, Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones, who helped produce Diddy’s most recent album, claimed that the mogul sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him from September 2022 to November 2023 as they worked together.
The two settled the suit shortly after it was filed, with the rapper saying he “did not do any of the awful things being alleged.”
Around the same time, another lawsuit accused the hip-hop mogul of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in 2003.
Combs denied the allegations, telling the court her “decision to wait more than two decades to file her complaint has prejudiced” him.
He also said argued the evidence may now be “unavailable, lost, or compromised.”
As of now, the defendant’s response to the amended complaint is not yet due, per CNN.
