Sean “Diddy” Combs was detained Monday night — and his arrest was captured on camera.
The embattled music mogul walked into the Park Hyatt New York hotel in a black trench coat when federal agents surrounded him, footage obtained by TMZ Friday reveals.
The rapper, 54, was separated from his friends, with the men left lingering in the lobby as Combs was led away.
In additional footage, the Bad Boys Records founder could be seen handcuffed and walking into an elevator.
When Combs reappeared in the lobby, he was escorted out the front door of the hotel as pedestrians strolled by.
Earlier this week, the outlet also released footage of the Grammy winner laughing and smiling with fans 30 minutes ahead of his arrest on Tuesday.

His lawyer, however, told in a statement that Combs had anticipated Homeland Security Investigations busting him and “voluntarily relocated” to New York.
“To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation,” attorney Marc Agnifilo said. “Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Combs was charged the following day with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He is being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, NY, where he is reportedly on suicide watch.
Combs’ arrest comes six months after the feds raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles, uncovering various supplies for his reported Freak Offs — including 1,000 bottles of lubricant.
Previously sealed court documents claimed that “Combs subjected victims to physical, emotional, and verbal abuse to cause the victims to engage” in these alleged sex parties.
Combs’ recent legal troubles kicked off in November 2023 when his ex-girlfriend Cassie sued him for rape, physical abuse and more — which he quickly settled.
The Revolt founder has since been hit with multiple other sexual abuse lawsuits.
Cassie, who has moved on with husband Alex Fine, was photographed on Wednesday for the first time since Combs’ arrest as she smiled with friends in Manhattan.
