Diddy's embarrassing beauty secret revealed by new photos of raid on $40m mansion
Newly released images from a raid on Diddy 's Miami mansion appear to show how the music mogul's normally jet-black hair is a dye job.
A box of 'Just for Men' black hair dye was among a cache of guns, drugs and 'freak off' paraphernalia found in the rapper's mansion when it was raided by agents in March 2024.
Before his arrest months later, Diddy, 55, had always sported a more youthful jet-black hair and beard despite his advancing age.
But when he was escorted in following many months behind bars in a Brooklyn jail he surprised the courtroom by showing up with grey hair.
Diddy's apparent natural color grew through as reports said he appeared 'noticeably older' and had put on weight while he was incarcerated in the same facility as Luigi Mangione and Sam Bankman-Frie d.
The image of Diddy's hair dye was revealed in court Wednesday as Homeland Security Special Agent Gerard Gannon talked jurors through the raid on the rapper's $40 million Miami home last year.
He said federal agents used an armored vehicle to smash the gates to Diddy's home on the ultra-exclusive Star Island, before finding a trove of items including boxes of women's high heels.
It came after a trauma expert who previously made headlines in the 2022 Amber Heard - Johnny Depp trial took the stand to testify over Diddy's alleged domestic abuse of his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
In Special Agent Gannon's testimony on Wednesday, he said parts of AR-15 rifles were found all throughout the mansion.
He added that one of the guns had a 'red dot' scope that makes it easier to hit a target, and investigators found many of the weapons had their serial numbers removed to make them untraceable.
In a dramatic moment, he was asked to open an evidence bag in a cart next to him with scissors and stand before the jury holding up the upper part of the AR-15 rifle.
Gannon assured the jury the gun had been rendered safe and held it up with both hands as jurors craned their necks to see.
In total, Gannon said three large plastic boxes containing at least 26 bottles of Johnson's Baby Oil and 16 bottles of Astroglide lubricant were snapped during the Star Island raid.
Boxes upon boxes of high heeled platform shoes of the type often worn by strippers were uncovered in the home
The latest photo drop from the Star Island raid also includes a creepy image of a mirror covered with scrawls written in lipstick and makeup inside an opulent marble and gold bathroom.
One written in black up high said 'Onward motion,' with another message apparently written in the same handwriting below reading: 'What do you WANT?'
Other photos shown to jurors included multiple boxes of vertiginous high heels with huge platforms that are often favored by strippers and pole dancers.
A box that appeared to contain a very revealing lime-colored one-piece bikini sat beside one pair of the shoes.
Diddy was previously accused of using the party drug GBH for freak-offs, and seemingly illicit substances were also seized during the Miami raid.
One brown sachet contained capsules marked 'golden teachers, 250mg.'
That is a slang term for magic mushrooms. Plastic baggies containing rocks of a dark, crumbly-looking substance were photographed.
Other baggies showed pink, blue and white pills.
A box of nitrous oxide that may have been used as a party drug was also visible, as was a bright green suitcase emblazoned with the word 'Diddy' that was used for transporting marijuana.
The images were shown shortly after it was revealed that rapper Kid Cudi was being called to testify in the ongoing trial, but his expected appearance on Wednesday was postponed due to scheduling issues.
The rapper was readying to testify over an alleged romance he had with Cassie Ventura while she was dating Diddy - which was said to have enraged the disgraced rap mogul.
In a lawsuit filed in November 2023, Cassie alleged that Diddy flew into such a heated rage that he blew up Kid Cudi's car.
Cassie said that she began a brief relationship with Cudi during a 'rough patch' in her time with Diddy.
She testified that Diddy discovered their affair when he went through her phone and found messages between the pair.
After finding out about the alleged affair, Cassie claimed Diddy placed a manual corkscrew in between his fingers and lunged at her.
During Paris Fashion Week, she claims Diddy told her he was going to blow up Kid Cudi's car and that he wanted to make sure he was home with his friends when it happened.
'Around that time, Kid Cudi's car exploded in his driveway,' the lawsuit stated of the alleged incident in February 2012.
'Ms. Ventura was terrified, as she began to fully comprehend what Mr. Combs was both willing and able to do to those he believed had slighted him.'
Cassie later returned and the music executive allegedly hit her several times, and then kicked her in the back as she tried to run out the door, the filing claims.
Cassie went on to settle the lawsuit with Diddy, months before he was indicted on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
