Armed guards were stationed outside Diddyâs Miami mansion complex on Tuesday, a day after it was raided by federal agents in an alleged human trafficking probe.
Investigators swarmed the two neighboring properties Diddy owns on swish Star Island Monday, wrenching open an ornate metal gate to get inside.
A section of copper latticework was ripped away and the 15ft-high doors were left so buckled that they couldnât be closed afterwards.
Investigators had left the scene by Tuesday morning but private guards in blacked-out SUVs blocked the driveway to stop anyone accessing the houses worth around $82 million combined.
The two guards, dressed head to toe in black and wearing black surgical masks, refused to say whether Diddy was inside.
âI donât know anything about that,â said one. A second growled at reporters and warned them not to walk on to Diddyâs property.
Diddy, who is being accused in several lawsuits of sexual abuse and sex trafficking, was not seen at his homes while the raid took place.
Armed agents from the Department of Homeland Security entered luxury properties on both East and West Coasts of the United States, with video footage showing helicopters circling overhead.

A man accused of being Diddyâs âdrug muleâ was arrested trying to board a plane at the same time the rapperâs mansion was raided by police.
Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested by Miami-Dade Police, alongside Homeland Security agents, at Opa-Locka Airport in Miami about 4.30pm on Monday.
A spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations repeated their statement to DailyMail.com on Tuesday when asked about Diddyâs whereabouts.
âEarlier today, Homeland Security Investigations New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners,â the spokesperson said.
Diddy, 54, has three children with the late actress Kim Porter â King and 16-year-old twins DâLila Star and Jessie James â and he adopted Porterâs son Quincy Brown from a prior relationship.
His other children are Justin, whose mother is Misa Hylton, and he had 17-year-old Chance with Sarah Chapman and 17-month-old Love Sean with Dana Tran.Â
The rappers whereabouts are unknown and information about his personal LoveAir LLC Gulfstream 5 jet is no longer available on plane tracker service FlightAware.Â
âThis aircraft is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator,â according to the website.
The Department of Homeland Security and other local law enforcement offices contacted by DailyMail.com on Tuesday have not been able to comment on Diddyâs location.Â
His jet took off from the Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles at 9 a.m. on Monday. The rapper was then spotted around 3 p.m. at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, just a few hours after the raids started.
Diddy was seen pacing around the Customs office at the airport, though he was not being detained in any fashion.

He was reportedly waiting on others in his party, who were being questioned by federal officials. He was said to be never cuffed or taken into custody, and, despite his other plane heading to Antigua, Diddy is not said to be on the run at all.
The 54-year-old rapperâs private jet was tracked to the Caribbean island of Antigua on Monday, reported TMZ, but there was no indication he was onboard.
Diddy was said to be boarding a separate private jet in Opa Locka on Monday when the feds arrive.Â
The inquiry was being directed by Homeland Security Investigations agents in New York, where he was accused by a former girlfriend R&B singer Cassie Ventura in a lawsuit filed in federal court in November of engaging in sex trafficking.Â
She alleged Diddy controlled and abused her for over a decade â as well as plying her with drugs, beating her, and forcing her to have sex with multiple male prostitutes while he watched and recorded.Â
Combs has denied the allegations and settled with Ventura out of court.Â

The lawsuit by Ventura was one of at least four civil complaints brought in recent months leveling sexual assault allegations against Combs.Â
The rapper and music mogul has been fighting various legal battles, including one against an unnamed woman who claimed he and two friends sexually assaulted her when she was 17.Â
Joi Dickerson-Neal, another accuser, claims Combs slipped something into her drink and sexually assaulted her in 1991 while she was a student at Syracuse University. She alleges that he filmed the attack and shared the video with his social circle.
Another Jane Doe alleges that she and a friend were raped by Combs and his friend, the singerâsongwriter Aaron Hall, in the early 1990s.
Record producer Rodney âLil Rodâ Jonesâ filed a bombshell lawsuit against Diddy claiming Combs subjected him to a year of groping and âconstant unsolicited touching of his anusâ.Â
