The last time Sean “Diddy” Combs was seen in grainy surveillance video was under very different circumstances.
The fallen rapper was seen kicking his ex girlfriend Cassie Ventura down a hallway in shocking 2016 footage that resurfaced back in May.
The latest is of Diddy getting arrested by feds at the Park Hyatt in Midtown Manhattan Monday night.
TMZ obtained surveillance video from the moment that Combs and his entourage enter the lobby and the federal agents are right there to greet him.

Two men approach the disgraced mogul, who is wearing a long, dark coat, and then escort him away from his crew. In the next scene, Combs’ hands are now behind his back, cuffed, and he walks into an elevator surrounded by more feds.
In the last part of the clip, the 54-year-old embattled mogul is back at the hotel entrance, and led out the doors by law enforcement to the street.
As per his lawyer, Combs was aware that his arrest was imminent, and flew to NYC from his home in Miami Beach to surrender to authorities, who took him into custody a day earlier than scheduled.
The indictment charges the father of seven with running a “racketeering conspiracy” by having “engaged in a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women and other individuals.”

“Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts,” defense attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement. “These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”‘
Combs, who pleaded not guilty, was denied bail and remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, just a few miles south from his hometown of Harlem.
Though he was reportedly placed on suicide watch, Agnifilo told UsWeekly that’s standard procedure for high-profile inmates and his client is “strong, healthy, confident and focused on his defense.”
