TMZ has the first video of Diddy after his homes were raided by the feds Monday -- and instead of being in handcuffs and on the ground ... the guy was kinda just walking around.

Check out this footage we obtained, which we shot around 3 PM PT Monday -- a couple hours after the raids at his homes got underway -- at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport ... where eyewitnesses tell us Diddy and some other people got stopped by the feds.

We're told this shows Diddy pacing around outside a Customs office there at the airport -- and as you can see ... he's not being detained, and he certainly doesn't seem to be in custody here. Instead, Diddy is just walking around all by his lonesome.

¿Qué sigue ahora?
TMZ.com

TMZ tiene el primer video de Diddy tras el registro de sus dos domicilios el lunes por parte de los federales, y en lugar de estar esposado y contra el suelo, el tipo estaba paseando.

Echa un vistazo a estas imágenes que obtuvimos, las que fueron filmadas alrededor de las 3 PM PT del lunes en el Aeropuerto Ejecutivo de Miami-Opa Locka, solo un par de horas después de que las redadas se pusieran en marcha y en donde testigos nos dicen que Diddy y algunas otras personas fueron detenidas por los federales.

Detenido por los federales
TMZ.com

Según nos dicen, el video muestra a Diddy paseándose por fuera de una oficina de Aduanas en el aeropuerto, y como se puede ver, no está siendo detenido y ciertamente no parece estar bajo custodia. En vez de eso, el rapero solo estaba caminando por su cuenta.

Un testigo nos dice que Diddy estaba esperando a otras personas aquí, quienes fueron detenidos e interrogados por los federales mientras ocurría todo el operativo, pero no hemos podido confirmar quienes estaban con él todavía.

Todo lo que sabemos es que él y su equipo fueron detenidos en Opa Locka. Al parecer, él estaba a bordo de un jet privado aparte, según nos dicen, y ahí es cuando la Seguridad Nacional llegó hasta el lugar.

Si bien puede parecer extraño que Diddy no haya sido esposado, en realidad calza con lo que hemos escuchado sobre su situación hasta el momento. Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que no está bajo arresto en este momento, y lo que es más importante, tampoco está huyendo, obviamente.

Domicilios allanados en Miami
TMZ.com

Como informamos, dos allanamientos se llevaron a cabo el lunes, uno en Los Ángeles y otro en Miami. Los agentes de Seguridad Nacional irrumpieron en sus casas y escoltaron a algunas personas.

Todavía hay un montón de preguntas sin respuesta, pero al parecer los funcionarios están investigando los delitos federales que se han alegado contra Diddy en el último tiempo en varias demandas, incluyendo el supuesto tráfico sexual, todo lo que él ha negado.

NBC News informa que los funcionarios federales ya han hablado con tres mujeres y un hombre en relación con las denuncias de tráfico sexual, entre otras acusaciones, y supuestamente tienen programadas otras entrevistas en un futuro próximo.

Nos hemos puesto en contacto con el equipo de Diddy, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.

WILL SMITH MULTADO POR EXCESO DE VELOCIDAD EN MALIBÚ

Will Smith fue multado por exceso de velocidad... y los policías de la estación nos dijeron que nadie tiene preferencias al momento de ir demasiado rápido en ciertas partes peligrosas de la carretera.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que el actor de 55 años, iba a 63 en una zona de 45 mph el viernes por la mañana en la autopista Pacific Coast en Malibú.

Ese es un camino traicionero. 58 personas han muerto en la carretera en los últimos 14 años, por lo que la policía tiene tolerancia cero para los amantes de la velocidad, no importa quién seas.

WILL SMITH SLAPPED WITH SPEEDING TICKET in Malibu

Will Smith was hit with a speeding ticket ... and cops at the station told us NO ONE gets a break for putting the pedal to the metal on such a super dangerous stretch of highway.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the 55-year-old was doing 63 in a 45 mph zone Friday morning on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

PCH is treacherous ... 58 people have died on the highway in the last 14 years, so cops have zero tolerance for speed demons, no matter who they are.

Shohei Ohtani Denies Making Sports Bets ... Calls Ippei A Liar

3/25/24
NEVER MADE ANY BETS

Shohei Ohtani just broke his silence on the gambling scandal surrounding his former interpreter -- and the Dodgers star was adamant he never placed any sports bets.

The 29-year-old addressed the media on Monday afternoon for the first time since Ippei Mizuhara was fired for allegedly using some of the baseball player's funds to gamble with an illegal bookmaker.

Ohtani told reporters through his new translator, Will Ireton, that he had no idea what was going on with the situation up until a team meeting following the Dodgers' first game of the season last week in Korea.

Pittsburgh Penguins Stolen Jagr Bobbleheads Found

Pittsburgh Penguins fans rejoice -- the thousands of Jaromir Jagr bobbleheads that were stolen earlier this month have been located and returned ... and the team is now preparing to hand them out to their rightful new owners.

The organization released a statement on the development Monday ... saying a special cargo recovery team was able to negotiate the return of the bobbles and secure them at a warehouse in Ontario, CA.

The mini Jagrs then made their way to the Steel City ... and are slated to eventually arrive at PPG Paints Arena at some point in the next week.

Of course, the giveaways were originally supposed to go to fans in attendance for the March 14 game against the San Jose Sharks ... as part of a big night to celebrate the NHL legend's historic career.

The team said the Jagr bobbleheads will be made available to those with tix to the original game starting April 6 ... and it will host a drive-thru pickup period at the arena as well.

The heist was a big deal -- the team worked with local and federal law enforcement to track the bobbles ... and now all is right with the world again.

Karen Huger First Photos From Crash Site ... Shows Extent of Damage

Karen Huger's scary Tuesday night crash seems to have left its mark on the area ... with the first photos from the scene appearing to show just how close Karen came to disaster.

The pics, obtained by TMZ, show where the 'Real Housewives' star swerved off the road in Potomac, MD -- leaving lots of skids and torn-up grass before slamming into a tree ... taking a big chunk of the bark with her. We've confirmed these were taken at the specific location mentioned in the court docket that laid out all of Karen's charges and traffic violations.

The photos and video we got give a clear indication of how serious the wreck was -- honing in on the point of contact where Karen went off the roadway -- which she says she did to avoid an oncoming car -- this after having a very emotional dinner with a friend of hers.

Police however tell a different tale ... with Montgomery County PD now offering another update on what they say went down after Karen had her accident.

As we reported ... cops had told us Karen hit the median and a street sign late Tuesday night while driving her 2017 Maserati -- and we're now told a security guard in the neighborhood saw the whole thing and called the police.

A MCPD rep says fire rescue and police officers responded to the call with an ambulance ... but, police say Huger refused to go to the hospital or be evaluated.

We're told KH was then taken into custody and transported to a district station ... with police telling us she was actually arrested and cited for DUI that evening ... but wasn't booked into their jail. Instead, they tell us she was released to her husband, Raymond.

Karen was also cited for other traffic violations before being released.

SCENE OF THE WRECK
TMZ.com

Huger hasn't addressed the DUI/DWI charges yet ... the only thing she mentioned to us Wednesday was a car going straight for her while she was driving ... which she says caused her to swerve to dodge it -- explaining she miraculously walked away without injuries.

Given how the crash scene looks ... Huger may actually have a guardian angel on her side like she says.

Ray J Missing Maybachs Found in Reno What Had Happened Was ...

Found The Car
TMZ.com

Ray J's trip to NYC where he's launching his own streaming platform, The Tronix Network, wasn't completely rained out -- he and his team got the good news their missing Maybachs were located back in Nevada, and not long after he vented to us about their mysterious disappearance!!!

Thanks to the gumshoe work of his biz partner, Ray J tells us the Maybachs were discovered in Reno near a chop shop and a casino.

The 6-figure vehicles went ghost on Sunday and Ray suspects the thieves got spooked by them constantly ringing the security alarms, and dumped the cars to get repurposed.

NO STRESS
TMZ.com

Ray's mood remained the same from when we spoke to him earlier ... he's not spending mental energy on the bandits -- they'll get their karma -- but he was happy to be back in the Maybachs.

He says his kids love the GLS backseat space ... it's the perfect family car -- if you have the $200k+ cash to spend!!!

With the Maybachs returned to their rightful owners, Ray now has to contend with Monica (or was it Goonica?) after she sent him a very stern warning for plugging a potential tour with Brandy against her knowledge and consent.

Ray told "The Breakfast Club" he was plotting a tour of them together ... with Monica opening up for his big sis.

If you want that to fly, Ray, ya better check with Monica, first!

Christian Wood's Ex Yasmine Lopez Yeah, I Keyed A Car ... But I'm Getting Therapy

L.A. Lakers big man Christian Wood's ex, Yasmine Lopez, is opening up on the wild allegations made against her in court documents ... owning up to keying a car and hopping his fence -- but claiming she's seeking help following the incidents.

TMZ Sports broke the story -- Wood accused Lopez of wreaking havoc on his personal life ... abusing and stalking him, damaging his property (including two luxury vehicles) on multiple occasions, and keeping their child from him.

Lopez weighed in on the recent events during an Instagram livestream ... and she expressed her regret with how their business has been thrown into the spotlight.

The influencer and model seemingly defended her actions while speaking with her followers on Wednesday ... saying, "I wouldn't be hopping nobody's fence for no f***ing reason, but I don't condone violence. I don't."

She also claimed the car she wrecked did not belong to Wood, but rather his new girl's vehicle -- regardless, she did go to jail over the February incident.

Lopez revealed she is taking the proper measures in hopes of preventing issues in the future ... including therapy.

"I'm working on myself to become a better woman, a better mom, just all around," she added. "I don't have time for the bulls***."

"The s*** I tolerated in the past, I'll never tolerate again."

Wood was granted a temporary restraining order against Lopez earlier this month ... which expired on Wednesday.

Shohei Ohtani Dodgers Fire Star's Interpreter ... After 'Massive Theft' Claims

UPDATE

3/21, 7:10 AM -- Ippei Mizuhara told ESPN that Ohtani knew of his gambling debts and agreed to pay them off in exchange for a promise -- the interpreter would never gamble again.

"Obviously, [Ohtani] wasn't happy about it and said he would help me out to make sure I never do this again," Ippei initially said, adding, "He decided to pay it off for me.

But, Mizuhara then seemingly changed his story, saying, "I want everyone to know Shohei had zero involvement in betting. I want people to know I did not know this was illegal. I learned my lesson the hard way. I will never do sports betting ever again."

Ippei Mizuhara -- the Japanese interpreter who's been Shohei Ohtani's righthand man for nearly a decade -- has been fired by the Dodgers ... after Ohtani's attorneys claim he engaged in a "massive theft" of the two-way star's fortune.

The lawyers -- from the LA-based law firm Berk Brettler -- said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times they uncovered the alleged stealing after Ohtani's name had surfaced in a federal investigation of an alleged illegal bookmaker, Mathew Bowyer.

According to The Times, Mizuhara was accused of taking some of Ohtani's funds and using them to place bets with Bowyer. Ohtani's attorneys told the outlet they're now going to cops to have them investigate their findings further.

"In the course of responding to recent media inquiries," the lawyers said, "we discovered that Shohei has been the victim of a massive theft and we are turning the matter over to the authorities."

The Dodgers confirmed Wednesday afternoon they let go of Mizuhara following the claims. No further comment from the team was added.

Mizuhara and Ohtani just joined the Dodgers this season ... after the two-time MVP signed with them in free agency on a 10-year, $700 million deal.

Prior to putting on Dodger Blue, the duo worked together throughout Ohtani's six historic seasons as an L.A. Angel.

Story developing ...

We covered the story on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

'RHOP' Star Karen Huger Charged w/ DUI ... In Connection to Crash

Karen Huger has been charged with driving under the influence and hit with several other traffic violations in connection with her car crash this week ... TMZ has learned.

According to online court records, the 'Real Housewives of the Potomac' star is facing one count of DUI over Tuesday night's wreck -- which notes she has to make a mandatory court appearance to answer for it. She's facing an additional DWI charge as well here.

There are several other alleged infractions she's been dinged with too -- per the docket -- that touch on everything from negligent and reckless driving to driving way over the speed limit and driving with a suspended registration. The 6 traffic violations she was cited with don't require court appearances ... and have fines attached ranging from $50 to $510.

We broke the story ... Huger was driving her 2017 Maserati late Tuesday night in Potomac, Maryland in what police described as an aggressive manner.

Cops told us Karen struck a median and crosswalk sign at an intersection before continuing on and colliding with a parking sign off the roadway. The car itself was badly damaged, but Karen told us she was doing fine after the accident ... which she chalked up to driving while in a super emotional state.

Huger said she went to dinner with a friend where she said the two talked about some pretty emotional topics -- including KH's deceased mother -- saying it left her bawling while trying to drive home and she says she swerved to avoid a car coming directly at her.

Huger did note she received citations, one of which she says was not related to the incident ... but, made no mention of being intoxicated or arrested in her statement to us. Cops didn't tell us she'd been arrested either ... and there's no record of her having been booked in their jail.

Montgomery County PD says the reason charges weren't mentioned earlier Wednesday is because all that was available at the time was a preliminary collision report -- and that a police report would have further info. We haven't obtained that police report just yet ... but clearly, cops felt something criminal had happened here -- evidenced in the court update.

We've reached out to Huger for further comment ... so far, no word back.

Ray J Not Tripping Over Stolen Maybachs ... Karma's a Bitch!!!

NO STRESS
TMZ.com

Ray J's new chapter with his Tronix Network is off to a rocky start, as 2 Maybachs he shipped out to NYC to promote the venture, never made it, and he says they're still in the wind!!!

We caught up with Ray Wednesday in Manhattan, but we could only picture him rollin' in our head ... because his expensive whips are good 3,000 miles or so away. He told us trackers on the missing Maybachs indicate they're still floating around Nevada.

Ray says he and his Tronix biz partner planned to plug the new media platform by stuntin' in the streets in their Maybachs -- but he says he's hit a dead-end with police and can't even get a 911 operator on the line to help with the search.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

He was remarkably calm about losing 2 rides worth around $200k each ... and admitted he's taking it much smoother than his partner, who Ray says is still combing Reno for the luxury vehicles.

Ray says he's gotta press on, making the rounds in NYC to talk Tronix -- but he firmly believes the thieves will get what's coming to them in due time.

FOCUSED ON ME
TMZ.com

It's been quite the year for Ray J -- his estranged wife Princess Love filed for divorce for a 4th time, and all signs point to it being the final time.

Through it all, he's maintaining his sanity ... at least on the outside.

NFL's Cameron Sutton Wanted By Cops Over Alleged Domestic Violence Incident

UPDATE

11:31 AM PT -- The Lions just released a statement on the matter ... saying they were made aware of the allegations only on Wednesday morning.

"We will continue to monitor the situation and will not have further comment at this time," the team said.

10:01 AM PT -- The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said in an updated statement Wednesday that Cameron Sutton is wanted for Domestic Battery by Strangulation, not Aggravated Battery - Domestic Violence.

Detroit Lions defensive back Cameron Sutton is a wanted man in Florida ... cops say they're looking to arrest him after he was allegedly involved in a violent incident with a woman earlier this month.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the alleged victim in the case called cops at around 4:52 AM on March 7 claiming she had just been roughed up by Sutton.

During the call, cops say she told dispatch she was in fear for her life.

However, an HCSCO spokesperson tells TMZ Sports ... Sutton was gone by time the officers arrived -- and ever since, they've been having trouble tracking him down.

We're told they've attempted to locate the 29-year-old at his residence in Pinellas County to no avail. Cops say they've also tried to call him, though his phone has apparently been shut off.

HCSO officials put out a "Warrant Wednesday" post on X on Wednesday morning seeking the public's help in finding the NFL player ... writing, "He is wanted for Aggravated Battery - Domestic Violence. He may be driving a Jeep Grand Wagoneer with a plate number of FL-AZ33QB."

"If you have any information on the whereabouts of Cameron Sutton, please call 813-247-8200."

Sutton has been playing in the NFL since 2017 ... beginning his career with the Steelers. In 2023, he signed a 3-year, $33 MILLION contract to join Detroit. He started 17 games in his first year with the Lions, recording one interception and 65 total tackles.

The Lions have yet to comment on the situation.

Shohei Ohtani Target Of Fake Bomb Threat Ahead Of Dodgers' Opener

Shohei Ohtani had a much more stressful leadup to his Dodgers' debut Wednesday than anyone could have imagined -- he was reportedly the target of a pregame bomb threat ... although, thankfully, it all turned out to be fake.

According to the Yonhap News Agency, just prior to L.A.'s season-opening matchup against the San Diego Padres in Seoul, someone had sent a menacing email to local authorities.

The outlet reported that in the note, the person claimed they were going to detonate a bomb at the Gocheok Sky Dome ... specifically looking to harm Ohtani and others.

Fortunately, however, it was deemed to be a non-credible threat.

The MLB said in a statement they were investigating the matter -- calling "the safety and security of our fans and everyone in the ballparks where we play" their top priority -- but continued with the game nonetheless.

So far, there's been no issues whatsoever with the contest -- in the top of the ninth inning, the Dodgers lead, 5-2.

Ohtani, meanwhile, is clearly feeling no effects from the scare ... he's 2-for-5 on the night with an RBI and a stolen base.

The Dodgers arrived in Korea last week and played a couple exhibition games before taking on the Pads in the season opener.

The two teams will play one more game Thursday night -- before they return the United States for a couple more spring training games ahead of the official start of the MLB season next week.

Paul Pierce L.A. Home Burglarized $100K Cash, Watches Stolen

Paul Pierce is just the latest celebrity to fall prey to Los Angeles' burglary epidemic ... the former NBA superstar's home was broken into Friday night, and the perpetrators got away with luxury watches and over $100k in cash.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports the 46-year-old 10x NBA All-Star's pad was hit when Pierce wasn't home, and a mind-boggling amount of personal treasure was stolen.

Amongst the burglarized items were expensive watches, 6 figures in cash, and a safe ... which police are currently trying to track down.

As for the criminal investigation, we're told cops have been combing through video from the scene, hoping to find a critical piece of evidence that'll crack the case.

No arrests have been made.

While he's the latest, he's not the first big-named star to have their personal spaces violated, and their belongings stolen ... it's been an issue in the City of Angels for years.

Post Malone, Bella Thorne, Yasiel Puig, Rihanna, Quentin Tarantino, Drake and so many other stars have fallen victim.

In fact, the LAPD recently talked about "burglary tourists" from South America who travel to Los Angeles solely to target luxurious mansions.

Police say the rings sometimes use high-tech equipment like jammers to bypass security systems.

It's unclear if one of these rings is behind the Pierce burglary.

The Truth, a Basketball Hall of Famer, played 19 seasons in the NBA, averaging nearly 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 rebounds. Pierce won a title with the Celtics in 2008.

Fat Joe Panel & Discussion w/ VP Harris ... Cannabis, Healthcare, Criminal Justice and More

Fat Joe's rubbing elbows with some of the top politicians in the country ... specifically Vice President Kamala Harris -- and he's sharing his solutions for some of the country's greatest issues, too.

The outspoken rapper met up with the VP on Friday afternoon and led a panel regarding criminal justice reform featuring Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and White House Director of the Office of Public Engagement Steve Benjamin.

The convo -- which featured a few other prominent criminal justice advocates and three recipients of marijuana-related pardons -- lasted about an hour and featured lots of personal anecdotes from those pardoned.

We're told Fat Joe expressed his gratitude for how his journey through hip hop had landed him in a close relationship with the vice president -- who he apparently met through his healthcare reform group Power To The Patients.

BTW ... we're told Joe actually sat down for a private conversation with Kamala where the two talked about healthcare price transparency and other issues close to Joe's heart.

Harris isn't the only exec who Joe's spoken to in recent days ... the Bronx-bred rapper also caught up with President Joe Biden himself -- following the Prez's SOTU address, which took some shots at Donald Trump.

Sources told us members of both parties wanted a piece of Fat Joe after he dapped up Biden ... with reps on both sides of the aisle rushing to the man for an autograph.

Fat Joe's been on the advocacy grind for a while now ... and we even talked to him about Power to the Patients on "TMZ Live" back in January.

TOGETHER FOR CHANGE
TMZ.com

It seems Joe's now sharing his opinion on all types of issues it seems ... and hey, maybe Kamala could use a running mate in 2028? 👀
