Diddy Sex-Trafficking Trial Is Shown Shocking Photos of Items Found Inside Rapper's $48 Million Miami ‘Freak-Off' Mansion During Fed Raid

Yahoo21-05-2025
Prosecutors in ' sex-trafficking trial have presented a trove of horrifying photos that reveal the sordid array of items found inside the rapper's $48 million Miami mansion when it was raided by federal agents in March 2024—six months before his arrest.
Homeland Security Special Agent Gerard Gannon, who led the raids on Diddy's Florida and California homes, took to the stand on May 20 and May 21 to recount the circumstances leading up to those events, while detailing the items that were found inside the musician's property on Star Island in Miami.
Diddy, 55, was arrested in New York City in September 2024 and has been charged with five criminal counts, according to NBC: one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He has repeatedly denied the allegations made against him and entered a plea of not guilty in court.
Investigators are understood to have spent months compiling evidence to use in the case against Diddy, who saw both his Star Island mansion and his Holmby Hills property in Los Angeles combed through by authorities back in March as part of the investigation.
Now, images shared with the jury and the public have revealed at least some of the findings made inside the Florida dwelling, with photos capturing multiple weapons, including AR-15 rifle parts, as well as numerous pairs of women's high heels, sex toys, and dozens of bottles of baby oil littering the expansive property.
Several different drugs were also discovered in the property, with Gannon revealing that an assortment of pills, white powder, and a 'crystal rock-like substance' that later tested positive for cocaine and ketamine were uncovered from a Gucci bag in the closet, per CNN.
Another photo captures a prescription bottle for Clonazepam as well as natural treatments for erectile dysfunction.
Rubber ducks were also seen stored in a box in one photo, while Just For Men hair dye was captured in another, alongside a hairdryer.
One image taken inside a bathroom in the home revealed that the mirror had been covered in several message, some of which appear to have been written in lipstick, while others were scrawled in black marker.
'Love you love Diddy,' read one, while another said: 'What do you WANT?'
A third read: 'You a legend and quite stn Team Puffy.'
Meanwhile, pictures taken outside the dwelling reveal that the gates to the compound were smashed open by an armored vehicle in an attempt to gain access to the home, which Diddy bought in two parts, snapping up the first of two homes for $14.5 million in 2003, while he purchased the second for $35 million in 2021.
During his time on the stand, Gannon revealed that six people were present inside the home when Homeland Security agents began the raid, including a music producer, a property manager, and other members of Diddy's staff.
He confirmed that they were all handcuffed while the raid was carried out, but stated that no weapons or any other paraphernalia was found on their persons.
Gannon also said that, while the AR-15s found in the home were dismantled at the time, agents did find a loaded .45 handgun inside a guesthouse on the property, although he described the structure as a 'guard house' during his testimony.
In total, he said that 25 bottles of baby oil were discovered in a closet inside the home.
Other findings included three cell phones that were discovered inside a Balenciaga rain boot, as well as 18 pairs of high heeled shoes, many of which were in boxes when they were found.
The home is understood to be one of several locations in which Diddy is accused of holding so-called 'freak-off' parties, which the indictment against him described as 'elaborate and produced sex performances' that involved women being coerced into sex and drug abuse.
'Freak-off activity is the core of this case, and freak-offs are inherently dangerous,' prosecutor Emily A. Johnson said during a hearing in September.
Authorities claim that Diddy held these 'freak-offs' in a number of locations, including at his Holmby Hills mansion, his estate on Miami's exclusive Star Island, as well as several hotel rooms. Agents were preciously said to have found more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and several firearms during their raids on his two properties.
Diddy previously dragged his Miami home into his case shortly after his arrest, when he offered the property up as collateral as part of a failed $50 million bail plea.
The rapper appeared before a judge in a Manhattan courtroom soon after he was taken into custody, when he offered to post a $50 million bond to secure his release.
However, his bail plea was rejected by the judge, who ordered that the rapper be taken to jail where he will await the start of his trial, agreeing with prosecutors that Diddy is too much of a risk to be allowed to go free, despite his lawyers offering up a very sizable bail proposal.
That package included his mansion on Miami's exclusive Star Island, which was valued at $48 million in the bail plea; his mother's Miami home was also included to cover the other $2 million in the total bail offer.
Diddy also offered to limit his travel to Miami and New York City, and claimed that he would keep his private jet—which he said he was trying to sell—parked in Los Angeles, to limit flight risk.
At the time, it was revealed that the music mogul had 'paid off the remaining mortgage of about $18 million' on his Miami dwelling 'in anticipation' of the bail hearing.
Meanwhile, Diddy's other main residence—an expansive property in Los Angeles—was put on the market just one week before his arrest, with an asking price of $61.5 million.
Property records indicate that the home is still listed, despite the ongoing trial, with the same price.

Drone allows Mayor Adams real time, bird's eye view of NYC emergencies

He's watching over Gotham. Mayor Adams has been tapping into NYPD drone footage to get an immediate assessment during the city's most critical emergencies, officials told The Post. 'I can send him a link upon his request to be able to see in real time what's happening on the ground,' Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Kaz Daughtry said of Adams, the first NYC mayor to have this access. 'Remember, he was a police officer. He doesn't want to get updates on the phone. He wants to get them in real time.' 6 Mayor Adams got a link to live feed from the shooting at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown while he was in his car. Andrew Schwartz / The mayor was watching the NYPD's response to 345 Park Ave., after gunman Shane Tamura, 27, walked across the outdoor plaza wielding an AR-15-style rifle and murdered four people inside before killing himself, Daughtry said. When he saw how dire the situation was, he got there as fast as he could, Daughtry said. 'I spoke to him several times during that whole incident,' Daughtry said, explaining he told the mayor the NYPD called a level three mobilization. 6 Deputy Mayor Kaz Daughtry sends teh mayor a link when there's a large incident or event he needs to know about. Leonardo Munoz 'We're calling for resources from all over the city to respond because this is an active shooter situation,' Daughtry said, explaining the level three. 'We immediately deployed the drone. They're part of that mobilization.' Adams watched the video from his car and saw people running out of the building with their hands up. 'He was like, 'I can't believe this is happening in our city,'' Daughtry recalled. 6 The mayor tapped into the drone feed to monitor a recent large protest in Manhattan. Michael Nigro 'Now, as NYPD officers are running into a building you've got folks running out with their hands up. I think that made him respond to the scene faster.' In April, the mayor watched rescue efforts from above after a helicopter carrying a Spanish family on a sightseeing tour plummeted into the Hudson River. 'Immediately he says 'Is everyone OK?' Daughtry recalled. 'Do we have our drones up yet can you please send me a link?'' 6 Shooter Shane Tamura killed four people inside the building before fatally shooting himself. AP Adams watched as the family of five and pilot were being pulled out of the water, saw efforts to resuscitate them with CPR, and rushed to the scene. 'I told him, 'We're pulling out victims now and it's not looking good,'' Daughtry recalled. 'If he wants to see the drones, he can look real time and he can make decisions from his vehicle,' Daughtry said. 'That's only for high profile incidents. There's got to be something that rises to the magnitude where we're notifying the mayor in real time.' 6 The mayor is able to access the drone feed during large incidents. Leonardo Munoz Daughtry has been a staunch cheerleader for the NYPD's drone program since it started in 2019. The department uses the unmanned aerial vehicles for everything from crimefighting, to search and rescue and disaster response. The NYPD has about 100 drones at its command and an equal number of police officers who are certified by the Federal Aviation Administration to fly them. In 2024, the NYPD started its Drone as a First Responder (DFR) program, which deploys the unmanned aerial vehicles on 911 calls to get an overview of the scene and improve situational awareness for cops. 6 The mayor also got a link to watch rescue efforts after a helicopter crahed into the Hudson River in April. Bruce Wall The department also uses drones to locate and rescue swimmers in distress off the city's beaches — along with the FDNY — and detect illegal activities, such as subway surfing. Civil libertarians have cried foul, arguing the video surveillance violates privacy rights. 'The drones are a force multiplier and they just add a real time sense of what's going on,' he said. 'People said it would not work and it is working here.' The Adams administration pointed out that shootings and shooting victims are at historic lows in the city because of efforts to take guns off the street, gang takedowns and precision policing. 'As technology evolves, we are evolving with it — and drones have become a critical crime-fighting tool that helps our officers do exactly that,' Adams said in a statement. 'Real-time camera access for our senior leadership during emergencies or mass protests allows us to keep communities safe and respond to active incidents faster.'

Detective 'traumatized' by NYPD officer's murder, source says

An NYPD detective who was working security near the Park Avenue building where a madman killed four people had her reputation dragged through the mud in the aftermath of the slaughter. Online rumor mongers claimed Det. Shareka Henry fled the scene when bullets were flying, police sources said. At the time, Henry, 39, was working for a private security firm that covers 345 Park Ave. and 601 Lexington Ave, which is a block away. 6 Shane Tamura walked into 345 Park Avenue with an AR-15 assault style weapon and murdered four people. Obtained by NY Post She was at the Lexington Avenue building when Shane Tamura marched into 345 Park. with an AR-15 style assault weapon and opened fire. The victims included Henry' Brother in Blue, Det. Didarul Islam. 'She saw Officer Islam being carried out,' a source involved in the investigation said. 'She had seen him an hour earlier and got him an iced tea from Starbucks. It was still there at the scene.' Online, the rumors reached a crescendo a couple weeks after the shooting. 6 Workers who were inside 345 Park Avenue barricaded themselves inside offices. 6 NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, a father, was killed in the shooting. NYPD 'Armed NYPD Detective Shereka Henry observed the mass shooter approaching … with his long gun … and ran, hid, told no one,' read a post on a private Facebook group for cops that was shared with The Post. It wasn't clear who made the post from the copy that was being circulated. The rumors of her leaving the scene were so persistent NYPD brass brought her in for questioning last Wednesday, police sources said. 6 Authorities believed Tamura was angry at the NFL over the brain disease CTE that he believed he had. AP Investigators reviewed the NYPD's Argus security cameras and body-worn camera footage from officers at the scene and saw that Henry ran to the scene not from it, the source said. 'They have her on the plaza, but SRG (Strategic Response Group) and MTN (Midtown North Precinct) officers were telling everyone to stay back,' the source said. 'You see her on body worn camera talking to cops.' She's also seen helping men and women who were being evacuated from the building while holding their hands up, the source said. 6 Workers from the Park Avenue building were evacuated. Obtained by the NY Post Internal Affairs discovered she was working the security gig for a firm hired by Blackstone Group LP, a public investment firm, without proper NYPD paperwork, so she was transferred from the Intelligence Bureau to a Bronx precinct's detective squad. That also fueled the 'rumors and false information' that was 'posted as fact' on social media, the source said. 'She definitely didn't run from it,' the source said. 'She ran to it. She's traumatized.' 6 Tamura had a license from Las Vegas to carry a conceled weapon. Obtained by the NY Post Henry recently was in the news when she was punched in the head while fighting a crazed man at a Midtown Starbucks after he was seen hurling products around the store, police sources said. Henry could not be reached for comment. 'How many people are these rumor mongers going to throw under the bus?' a representative for the Detectives Endowment Association said.
