Dyer said the raids of his LA and NY homes were an ambush and said it was a witch hunt. The attorney also called out how the authorities handled Diddy's children and staff. According to CNN, Dyer said:

“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.”

Diddy was not arrested

His lawyers also clarified that Diddy was not arrested and that his travel was not restricted.

There were speculations that he fled before the military could arrive, and his private jet was tracked to an island. But TMZ later released footage of him pacing at an airport in Miami.
