NEW aerial pictures show disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Los Angeles mansion lying silent while he stands trial on sex trafficking charges. 

Shamed Combs’ home is among the larger houses in the luxurious neighborhood of Holmby Hills - a playground for the rich and famous.

Combs forked out almost $40 million on the 17,000 square-foot, 10-bedroom home back in September 2014. He put it on the market a decade later for $61.5 million.

The property boasts outdoor features such as a swimming pool, and its lawns are neat. 

Inside, there is a 35-seat theater room, a wine cellar, a gym, as well as a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen. 

Its other features include a basketball court, spa room, and an outdoor loggia-style facility where barbecues can be hosted, per the Zillow listing.

There's also an underground swimming tunnel that is linked to a grotto.

Yet the sprawling complex was the target of two raids executed by the feds in March 2024.

Cops seized 1,000 bottles of lubricant linked to Combs’ sordid marathon sex sessions, known as freak-offs, according to the indictment seen by the Fox affiliate WTTG-TV.

Agents ransacked rooms and emptied out safes inside the home as they hunted for potential evidence, The Los Angeles Times reported.

A hard drive was also seized, and the property’s security system was turned off.

Homeland Security investigators also searched Combs’ Star Island paradise in Miami Beach, Florida.

Combs’ team criticized the feds for how the raids were carried out. 

Aaron Dyer, who was part of the rapper’s legal team, labeled the raids as an “unprecedented ambush.”

He claimed agents used military-level force in the operations, describing them as a “witch hunt," per Billboard.

Rooms were left untidy, and objects were strewn across the floor, according to pictures from TMZ.

Dressers were left open while belongings hadn't been returned to their original locations.

The feds even searched Combs' children's rooms as they looked for evidence.

A source told Page Six that the raids left significant damage.

TMZ reported at the time that Combs was blindsided by the raids.

The raids happened before Combs was arrested and charged with sex trafficking offenses. 

Combs put the property on the market in September 2024 - just a week before being arrested.

Sources told Page Six at the time it was "no surprise" the home was put on sale.

But, six months later, Combs changed course and removed the home from the market, though it was eventually re-listed, per Realtor.

DIDDY ON TRIAL

Combs' sex trafficking trial got underway with jury selection on May 5, and opening arguments began on Monday.

His defense team claimed that his conduct was part of the so-called swingers' lifestyle.

But the jury in Manhattan has heard sordid details relating to the alleged freak-offs Combs orchestrated.

Jurors have also heard graphic testimony from a former male escort, one of whom had sex with Combs' ex-partner, Cassie Ventura.

Ventura sued Combs in 2023, claiming he physically and sexually assaulted her.

The lawsuit was settled for $20 million just one day after it was filed.

SORDID TESTIMONY

Ventura, who is heavily pregnant, told the court on Tuesday that Combs humiliated her.

She claimed Combs made her have sex with escorts while he watched.

Ventura, who choked back tears during moments of her testimony, claimed the freak-offs ended up becoming a job.

She admitted to taking drugs to disassociate herself from the experiences.

Ventura also claimed that the freak-offs could last up to four days, and she was terrified to refuse Combs' order out of fear.

Ventura also divulged on cases where she was allegedly assaulted by Combs.

She told the court she remembered when Combs hurled a glass vase at her in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

Unedited footage of Combs assaulting Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel has since been released.

Combs faces five charges in total as prosecutors try to portray him as the ringleader of a criminal enterprise.

If convicted of racketeering, he faces life in prison.

He risks a minimum 15-year sentence if he is convicted of sex trafficking.
