Fox News senior national correspondent William La Jeunesse breaks down the latest in the accusations again rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs returned to social media on Easter Sunday, posting adorable photos of his young daughter, nearly one week after several of his properties were raided by Homeland Security.

The embattled rapper strategically disabled comments on his Instagram post, wishing followers a Happy Easter from his 1-year-old daughter, Love. Combs has six older children, none of whom were featured.

Diddy had previously been lying low after several of his properties were raided last Monday, resurfacing at his Miami mansion days later. On Easter, he was photographed on his property engaged in a phone call.

Following the raids, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News that they were connected to a federal human trafficking investigation, although it's unclear if Diddy is the target of the federal agents' investigation.

On Tuesday, Diddy's attorney issued a statement denouncing the raid.

"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. 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," Aaron Dyer said.

"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. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name."
