Diddy appears to have addressed the recent raids on his homes by sharing a music video on social media. The mogul shared the 1998 clip for his song “Victory,” in which he is depicted evading police, sparking discussion online.
Making waves on Instagram on Friday (April 5), the embattled rapper shared the full “Victory” music video. The action-packed scene kicks off in a post-apocalyptic Earth in the year 3002, with the Bad Boy Records founder quickly finding himself on the run from SWAT.

“Bad Boy For Life [raised fist emoji],” he captioned the post.
Viewers noticed the similarities between the video and recent events in Diddy’s life, most notably the recent raids on his homes by Homeland Security, reportedly as as part of a sex trafficking probe.

Diddy‘s Los Angeles home was left in a messy state after Homeland Security’s raid last month.
Leaked footage obtained by TMZ shows that federal agents did not leave the house tidy, with items and belongings strewn everywhere.

A close up of a computer shows that the hard drives had been removed, while a living area was turned upside down with chairs lying on their side and cuddly toys thrown on the floor.
In the days since, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend and baby mother Misa Hylton released previously unseen CCTV footage, providing a clearer glimpse into the event.

In the home security footage, heavily armed Homeland Security personnel can be seen working their way through the house, handcuffing the occupants and pointing guns at those inside — including Justin and his younger brother Christian.
“The over zealous and overtly militarized force used against my sons Justin and Christian is deplorable,” Hylton wrote. “If these were the sons of a non-Black celebrity, they would not have been handled with the same aggression. The attempt to humiliate and terrorize these innocent young BLACK MEN is despicable!

“Enough is Enough! Did Justin need several laser beams from firearms pointed at his chest?? Did Christian need a gun pointed at the back of his head while he was handcuffed?? How many times have we seen young UNARMED BLACK MEN not make it out of these types of situations alive??”
The raids were conducted by Homeland Security as part of an investigation into sex trafficking involving Diddy after multiple lawsuits were filed against the Hip Hop mogul accusing him of rape, sexual assault and sex trafficking.

He has vehemently denied any wrongdoing and slammed the raids on his homes.
“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” his lawyer said in a statement. “There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.
“Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.
“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.”
