Diddy and Stevie J look tense during golf cart ride in Miami -  after rapper's BFF broke silence on his sex trafficking probe AND was named in gay rape lawsuit

Diddy and longtime friend Stevie J looked tense during a golf cart ride in Miami Beach, Florida on Tuesday - amid the rapper's sex trafficking probe and multiple mounting lawsuits.

Diddy - real name Sean Love Combs- saw his Miami and LA homes swarmed by federal agents last week as part of an investigation into sex trafficking - with the music mogul, 54, branding the raids as 'militant' and denying all allegations of wrongdoing.

Record producer Stevie J - who broke his silence on the raids on Tuesday and revealed he was put in handcuffs in Miami - was seen having a serious chat with the star as he drove a golf cart.

A pensive Diddy dropped Stevie off at the home - with the pair later seen speaking outside the compound's gates.

Stevie broke his silence on the raids in a chat with TMZ - where he slammed 50 Cent's digs at Diddy and said 'stop being a girl and talking about him.'

He said: 'He wants to bring the Black community down worse than anyone else. Now, since he didn't accept my offer to him and he wanna continue being a comedian why don't you go make some movies with Michael Blackson and don't talk about me.

'I find it funny when they first try to crucify somebody, they'll go through the media first, and they're just flooded with lies and propaganda. I'm not concerned about Curtis. He's Uncle Tom, and that's just what it is.'

Stevie detailed when federal agents swarmed the Miami home last week, and said he had weapons aimed  at him before he was ordered outside and handcuffed during the search.

Stevie said Diddy was 'devastated' the next day - particularly after his sons were ordered from the LA home with guns pointed at their heads.

Both King and Justin were detained in handcuffs during Homeland Security's LA raid on Diddy's Holmby Hills mansion while he was at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport where his drug mule Brendan Paul was arrested. 

He said Diddy is for now focused on spending time with his daughters and mother. 

'Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated,' his attorney Aaron Dyer said in a statement.

 'Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.'

In February, Stevie - who is a long-time cohort of Diddy's - was named in a lawsuit lodged by Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones - who is suing Diddy for alleged groping and a possible drug-induced rape. 

He claims he was also sexually assaulted by a female cousin of Combs's girlfriend Yung Miami and forced to watch a video of record producer Stevie J having sex with another man. 

As part of the suit images taken from a video show a man engaging in penetrative sex with another male, which is claimed to be Stevie J.

Jones claims in the suit that among the many instances of harassment involved him having to watch Stevie J, real name Steven Jordan, having sex in the video.

It is alleged in the suit that Stevie J recruited sex workers and participated in group sexual encounters called 'freak offs.'

Stevie J has branded the allegations against him 'false' adding that his lawyer 'will be handling this going forward.'

Adult film star D'Angelo 'Knockout' Marquis has since claimed that the images referred to in the suit are actually him engaging in sex with another man.

After the images contained in the suit went public on social media page X, Marquis posted: 'That's me smh.'

According to his OnlyFans page, Marquis is a 'professional award winning male entertainer who boasts nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram.

In subsequent posts to his X account, Marquis added: 'They will not bring him down off my name, try again' and 'This is not him [Stevie J] it's me yall really be trying it.'

The filing claims that Combs knew Jones 'looked up to, and idolized' Stevie J, and used the video recording as a way to solicit him.

Combs is alleged to have shared the video with Jones to 'ease his anxiety concerning homosexuality'.

Jones claims that while showing him the video, Combs told him: 'This is a normal practice in the music industry, look even Stevie J is doing it.'

Stevie J responded to the filing saying: 'This lawsuit is bogus!' accompanied by three clown emojis.

Jackson called his ex a 'little sex worker' on social media in the wake of her being described as a 'sex worker' in a lawsuit against Diddy that was filed by Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones, one of the record label head's former producers 

The producer has been associated with Diddy for years and until 2023 was married to the widow of Biggie Smalls aka Christopher Wallace, who was shot dead in 1997.

The raids came after the Harlem-born hip-hop star was hit with a slew of lawsuits alleging sexual assault, rape, and other crimes after he settled his ex-girlfriend Cassie's similar lawsuit in November.

'Enough is enough. For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation, and my legacy,' Diddy wrote December 6 in his only statement on the matter.

'Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth.'

'I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,' Cassie said in a statement.

Last month, Stevie - who is a long-time cohort of Diddy's - was named in a lawsuit lodged by Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones (pictured)- who is suing Diddy for alleged groping and a possible drug-induced rape

The rapper and music industry mogul Sean Combs was sued November 16 by the singer Cassie, who accused him of rape and physical abuse before the case was settled out of court

The suit alleged he controlled and abused her for over a decade - as well as plying her with drugs, beating her, and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes while he watched and recorded.

The pair, who met in 2005 when she was aged 19, split in 2018. The lawsuit claimed that just before the end of their relationship, he forced his way into her home and raped her.

After Ventura launched her lawsuit, Liza Gardner and Joie Dickerson-Neal also filed papers claiming the rapper sexually assaulted them in the early 1990s.

Combs sent out a tweet denying the accusations in December and saying that all allegations made against him are from people 'looking for a quick payday'.

The star stepped down as chairman of Revolt TV in November and saw Hulu scrap a planned reality TV show that would have featured his family, in December.
