Now Diddy has agreed to forfeit items taken in the raid including video tapes...

Handheld camcorder footage cryptically labeled “Ibiza Tapes” were among a trove of possessions jailed music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs — a self-described amateur porn director — has agreed to forfeit as part of his six crimes sentencing, new court papers said.
The Bad Boy Records founder will surrender the cassette tapes and other devices the feds seized in March 2024 raids on his mansions, including hard drives, thumb drives, iPhones, iPads and computers, according to the documents filed Wednesday.
The feds will also hang onto the $9,000 in cash recovered from the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan where Combs, 55, had been staying before his September 2024 arrest.
The legal filing, jointly signed by the feds and Combs’ lawyers, didn’t specifically describe what was depicted on the “Ibiza Tapes.”
But court papers said the tapes and other seized devices were all “property used or intended to be used” as part of the prostitution counts Combs was convicted of in July.
All the items will be turned over to the US Customs and Border Protection to be held in “its secure custody and control,” court papers state.
The tapes, shot with a Sony “DVCAM” camera, a model released in 1996, were included on a list of electronics that the hip-hop entrepreneur used in his scheme to recruit male escorts for drug-fueled sex romps that he called “freak-offs.”
Combs has repeatedly visited Ibiza, a Spanish island known as a nightclub hotspot, during his decades-long career as a globe-trotting rap and business entrepreneur.
