New evidence has been presented in the ongoing federal trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, as jurors were shown graphic and revealing photographs captured during the 2024 raid of his Miami Beach mansion.
Over the course of Tuesday afternoon and into Wednesday morning, May 21, federal prosecutors in Manhattan displayed dozens of images to the jury as part of Combs’ high-profile sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
These photos — part of a collection of over 500 taken by federal agents — offer a disturbing glimpse into the private life of the 55-year-old Bad Boy Records founder.
Inside the Mansion: What Investigators Found From Diddy Combs
Jurors reviewed photos showing:
- AR-15 rifle parts found on the property
- Sex toys, including multiple dildos
- High heels, including a striking pair of 7-inch red stilettos
- A closet containing a sex toy and various personal items
- 25 bottles of baby oil and 30 bottles of Astroglide lubricant stored alongside containers of “food-grade” nitrous oxide (Whip-Its)
- A variety of drugs, including MDMA, ketamine, and cocaine
According to federal agent Gannon, who testified during the session, the items were discovered during the execution of a search warrant as part of the investigation into a decade-long alleged criminal enterprise.
Handwritten Affirmations and Mirror Messages
One particularly noteworthy image showed Combs’ bathroom mirror, scrawled with handwritten affirmations such as:
“You a legend”
“You’re an icon, Puff Daddy”
“Upward Motion”
The messages appeared in a marble-tiled, gold-accented room that reflected the lavish lifestyle prosecutors say Combs used to mask a darker reality.
The Allegations Against Combs
Federal prosecutors allege that Combs operated a criminal organization for more than 10 years, using his employees to facilitate and cover up a series of crimes. Among the most serious claims: that he drugged women and forced them into sex acts with escorts while he recorded the encounters and pleasured himself.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges. His legal team maintains that the evidence has been misrepresented and that he is being unfairly targeted due to his celebrity status.
The trial continues in Manhattan federal court. If convicted, Combs could face significant prison time and the dismantling of his entertainment empire.
The case has drawn national attention and raised broader questions about abuse of power in the music industry
