By now, everyone knows about the raids that took place at two residences belonging to music mogul, Diddy. Overall, the raids went down in Miami and Los Angeles. The raids were carried out by Homeland Security, and they were done so on suspicion of sex trafficking. Last night, a video surfaced online showing how his homes had been ransacked during the investigation. Furthermore, it has been reported that his electronics were seized. Needless to say, this is an extensive operation being carried out by the Feds right now.
In the aftermath of the raids, new footage is making its way to the internet. More specifically, TMZ has been able to obtain a whole bunch of images and videos. For instance, yesterday we reported on the video of Diddy pacing around a Miami airport. Now, TMZ has come through with another batch of images. In these photos, Diddy can be seen with his entourage outside of his private jet. The entourage is surrounded by Federal agents, and Diddy can be seen cooperating with them.
Brendan Paul can be seen in these images as well. For those who may not be aware, Paul is the former Syracuse basketball player who was arrested on drug charges. Paul is alleged to be a drug mule for Diddy, and he became a trending figure on social media last night. At this stage in the story, there is still a lot that is unknown. For instance, it remains to be seen if the investigation will even bring forth any evidence to what Diddy has been accused of. Regardless, the world is paying attention right now, and they are waiting patiently for updates.

In recent months, much of the news surrounding 50 Cent has been from his relentless Instagram trolling campaign. He was one of the first to start taking shots at Diddy last year when the first lawsuit against him filed by Cassie broke. Unsurprisingly, he's continued his trolling throughout the controversial Lil Rod lawsuit and the rap mogul's homes being raided. That campaign has included just about any "evidence" 50 can find including inmate recordings and AI-generated images. He's also taken shots at almost anyone who comes up in the story, for which he's been threatened with violence.
But now he's trying to expand a different project he started last year. According to AllHipHop, he opened up G-Unit studios in Shreveport earlier this month following approval granted last year. Part of the celebration even included the town labeling it's opening day, April 18, as 50 Cent day. “Through the expansion of G-Unit in Shreveport, my aim is to embody the spirit of conscious capitalism to focus on creating jobs, stimulating commerce and contributing to the economic growth of this vibrant community. I envision [making] Shreveport a beacon of the entertainment industry,” he said during the launch of the studio. Now he has even more ambitions for the area. Check out his newest plans below.
His next proposal to the city centers around a sports and entertainment complex. He's proposing turning the Expo Hall into the new G-Unit sponsored complex and has some ambitious goals for it. The pitch includes mentions of professional basketball outings, a variety of other sports including boxing and MMA lineups. But the center can also host concerts and a variety of expos and conventions. The same city council that approved the last building will also vote on this one.
