A video of Sean “Diddy” Combs introducing his “adopted” daughter, Ava Baroni, has resurfaced a day after two of his homes were raided for s3x trafficking.
In a clip from 2020 posted on TikTok Tuesday, the Bad Boy Records founder is seen asking Baroni to introduce herself to his Instagram followers during a Live session.
“My name’s Ava. I’m a Scorpio,” the teen began before Combs interrupted her and told her to say her last name. “Ava Combs Baroni.”
The billionaire hop-hop mogul, 54, then claimed that he had “adopted” the “white child.”

“I want you to tell them the story of how I adopted you, but you still have beautiful parents that — but you’re my child also,” he said as several other men made appearances in the background of the video.
Baroni then jokingly explained how she was “on the streets” before “Papa Combs decided that he was going to be a caring man.”
“So then, he saw me and decided to pick me up and said to come inside and stay with his kids,” she shared, adding that she and the rapper’s twin daughters, Jessie and D’Lila, are “basically sisters.”
While Combs admitted Baroni’s recollection of events was “a little bit borderline suspect,” he claimed he “adopted” Baroni like Madonna, Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock adopted their children.

“I adopted you because I felt that you could enjoy also having a black parent to take care of you and help you out,” he continued, adding that he got “permission” from the young girl’s mother.
Combs concluded that clip by clarifying that her name is “Ava Baroni Combs” before kissing her cheek.
Amid Monday’s raid of his homes due to a s3x trafficking investigation, fans took to the comment section of the video to question Baroni’s whereabouts now.
“WHERE IS SHE NOW?!?!?!!” one fan wrote, while another added, “Why all the men this is so creepy return that child.”

“The public is speculating if this underaged minor named Ava was allegedly one of his s3x trafficking victims,” a third TikToker commented.
Page Six has reached out to Combs’ rep for comment but did not immediately hear back. At the time of this publication, Baroni also made her Instagram account private.
The video resurfaced after the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided on Monday.
Homeland Security arrived at his properties with drawn guns and was later seen taking several people out of the homes in handcuffs, including Combs’ sons Justin, 30, and Christian, 25. (The brothers were later seen fleeing their father’s $40 million LA mansion with some of their belongings after the raid was completed.)

Hours later, Combs was seen pacing back and forth outside the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Coincidentally, his private jet — known as LoveAir LLC — landed in Antigua Monday afternoon, but he was not on it.
Page Six learned that the dad of seven was planning to take his twin daughters, 17, to the Bahamas for spring break.
The raids come months after Combs’ ex Cassie filed a lawsuit against him for rape and abuse. However, the “Me & U” singer, 37, and the Sean John founder settled the lawsuit one day later.

Combs was then hit with four additional lawsuits from women, including one woman who claimed she was “gang raped” as a teenager and another who alleged she and a friend were raped by Combs and singer Aaron Hall in 1990 or 1991.
Most recently, the “Last Night” rapper was sued by a producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, who claims Combs repeatedly s3xually assaulted him while he was working on his latest album from September 2022 to November 2023.
Combs has vehemently denied all wrongdoing.
