Joe Budden has weighed in on the federal raids on Diddy‘s homes — and his prediction for the Bad Boy boss is bleak.
The Hip Hop personality shared his thoughts on the latest twist in the embattled mogul’s legal troubles on an episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, where he declared it’s “a wrap” for Puffy.

“There’s nothing to say that he’s on the run, nor has he been charged with anything,” Budden began. “But we n-ggas, we from where we from, we look at this through that lens. This is a wrap.
“Not only is this a wrap, but it’s about to get much worse. It’s about to get bad, bad, bad, bad. Even the silence is eerie.”
Joe Budden also discussed the activity of Diddy’s private jet on the day his Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided by Homeland Security as part of a sex trafficking investigation.
The jet was reportedly flown from Miami to the Caribbean island of Antigua, although it’s unclear if the Bad Boy boss was on board.

Diddy himself was reportedly stopped by federal authorities at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport that same afternoon before boarding a separate jet, but was not arrested.
“The investigation says trafficking, so the last thing I would want is for my jet to be in the air moving around without me in it,” Budden said. “Because it begs the question: ‘Woah, who’s in there? Where they going? What they doing?’ This says that your jet moves around freely without you.”

After some of his co-hosts argued that this gives Diddy plausible deniability, Budden disagreed.
“You don’t have no plausible deniability with Homeland at your house. You did something. It’s over for that best case scenario shit you’re talking about. It’s over for that. There’s no plausible deniability,” he insisted.
Though many in the industry have remained silent on Diddy’s sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations, his ex-girlfriend and baby mother Misa Hylton recently shared unseen footage of the raid on his home and slammed the treatment of his sons.
Hylton, who is the mother of 30-year-old Justin Combs, uploaded the videos to Instagram earlier this week along with an outspoken message criticizing the use of excessive force during the Los Angeles raid.

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??”
