The lawyer of US rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs said the raids on two of his homes by US federal authorities was a “gross use of military-level force” against an “innocent” man.

Properties attached to the 54-year-old music mogul were searched by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents on Monday in both Los Angeles and Miami, in the investigation being run by federal authorities in New York.
