Everything Celebrities Named in Diddy Case Have Said Since Raid

A number of celebrities previously named in the lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, recently spoke following a raid on his properties in Miami and California.

On Monday, officials with the Department of Homeland Security carried out search warrants at different properties owned by Combs. In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said it "executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners."

In recent months, Combs has faced several legal battles, with lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and trafficking. The raids were reportedly tied to sex-trafficking allegations leveled by different plaintiffs, the Associated Press reported, citing law enforcement sources.

"There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated," Combs' attorney, Aaron Dyer, said in a statement to Newsweek following the raids. "Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. 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."

"There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name," the statement added.

Lawyers for Combs directed Newsweek to the statement issued earlier this week, after reaching out via email for comment.

Newsweek previously published a list of celebrities named in the lawsuit against Combs, which was originally filed by music producer Rodney Jones.

Jones filed his lawsuit on February 26, making a number of accusations against Combs, including sexual misconduct and grooming. Jones has also accused Combs of participating in sex-trafficking activity.

Shortly after the raid, rapper 50 Cent, (real name Curtis Jackson III) responded on X, formerly Twitter, saying "Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy done...They don't come like that unless they got a case."

While 50 Cent was not named in the lawsuit against Combs, a woman identified as Daphne Joy, who shares a child with 50 Cent, was named in the suit.

In a statement posted on Instagram, Joy responded to 50 Cent saying "Everything is a joke to you until our safety is compromised, which is happening now."

Joy went on to accuse 50 Cent of physically abusing her and said, "You have broken our hearts for the last and final time."

In addition to Joy, another celebrity named in the suit against Combs, Stevie J (Steven Aaron Jordan), also responded to 50 Cent on social media. According to Vibe.com, Stevie J hit back at 50 Cent on Instagram and said, "Since it's entertainment, let me beat the sh*t out of you on TV or something."

Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura, who filed a similar lawsuit against Combs last year, issued a statement through her attorney shortly after the raids.

"We will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law," the statement said, according to KTTV news in Los Angeles. "Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct."

Rapper Yung Miami also appeared in the lawsuit against Combs, and since the raid, has shared numerous posts on social media. Many of the posts are promoting a new song she is releasing.
