The most recent photos, taken on Easter Sunday, showed the hip-hop mogul standing in the yard of his Miami Beach home while on the phone.
Combs appeared to be stressed while making gestures with his free hand as he walked around the pool at his Star Island mansion.
His outfit was kept casual with a white T-shirt, black sweatpants, and beige slide sandals.
Combs seemed to be in a completely different mood than the day before when he was photographed drinking wine, smoking, and dancing by himself.
He was seen walking shirtless around the yard of his Miami home once more, opting for only a pair of white shorts and a matching bucket hat.
RAIDED BY FEDS
The spotting came just days after both his Miami and Los Angeles homes were raided by federal agents.
The homes were searched by Homeland Security as part of a federal investigation into 𝑠e𝑥 trafficking allegations.
While much of the information was left disclosed, a video showed the feds taking laptops and big boxes out of Combs’ Miami mansion.
Footage obtained by TMZ also showed his California property turned upside down in the raid.
Combs’ attorney, Aaron Dyer, condemned the “unprecedented” raids on Tuesday and said the rapper was innocent.
“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residence,” Dyer said.
“There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.
“This unprecedented ambush – paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence – leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”
Dyer added that there had been “no finding of criminal or civil liability” with any of the allegations against Combs, saying the rapper will “continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
BOMBSHELL LAWSUIT
The raids came after Combs was met with various allegations, which included a bombshell $30 million lawsuit against him.

The lawsuit was filed by Combs’ former employee, Rodney “Lil Rod.”
Part of it claimed Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Yung Miami, was paid a monthly fee to provide 𝑠e𝑥ual favors for the rapper.
She seemed to deny the allegations on X, writing, “Something the internet made up and yall ran with it!
“Ni**as don’t even pay that for child support why tf would a ni**a ever pay me 250k for. FOR WHAT??”
Daphne Joy, the ex of 50 Cent, was also named in the lawsuit as being part of an alleged 𝑠e𝑥 trafficking ring operated by Combs.
Joy denied the allegations, writing on Instagram: “I am deeply hurt by the lies in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit.
“The claim that I am a 𝑠e𝑥 worker is 100% false and character assassination.”
Jones also claimed that Combs 𝑠e𝑥ually harassed, drugged, and threatened him while they worked together.
He alleged that he was told to recruit prostitutes and have 𝑠e𝑥 with them for the artist’s pleasure.
The deadline to respond to the allegations has not yet come up and some of the defendants have moved to dismiss the case, per CNN.
OTHER ALLEGATIONS
In November, Combs’ ex, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, accused him of 𝑠e𝑥ually abusing and assaulting her throughout their relationship, which ended in 2018.
Cassie’s lawsuit claimed she endured “a cycle of abuse, violence, and 𝑠e𝑥 trafficking” during their decade-long relationship.
The two settled the suit shortly after it was filed, with the rapper saying he “did not do any of the awful things being alleged.”
Around the same time, another lawsuit accused the hip-hop mogul of gang-raping a 17-year-old girl in 2003.
Combs denied the allegations, telling the court her “decision to wait more than two decades to file her complaint has prejudiced” him.
He also said argued the evidence may now be “unavailable, lost, or compromised.”
As of now, the defendant’s response to the amended complaint is not yet due, per CNN.
