Diddy has returned to the West Coast after laying low in Florida for the past several weeks — this amid his growing legal woes — and TMZ has video of him out and about in La La Land.
Check out this footage we obtained … the Bad Boy Records founder was seen dressed in an all-black jumpsuit while chatting up an unidentified male on a sidewalk in WeHo Wednesday … and he was looking pretty damn happy.

When a fan calls out to Diddy, the guy smiles and waves … while also throwing an “L” and prayer hands too — not the least bit stressed, despite his very serious situation lately.

BTW, we got extra footage of Diddy talking to a woman during this same outing — and they were having a friendly conversation … with the two of them even hugging at the end. Unclear who this gal was … but she certainly wasn’t hesitant to chat Puff up out on the sidewalk.
Diddy’s unexpected pop-up comes not long after all the backlash he’s faced for laying hands on his ex-girlfriend Cassie. For those who missed it … last month, surveillance footage from 2016 surfaced, which shows Diddy beating down on his ex in a hotel hallway.

He responded to the video by offering up an apology on social media, calling the incident “inexcusable” — and noting he sought professional help afterwards.

However, Diddy is facing a number of sexual misconduct allegations across multiple civil cases … which, in part, sparked federal raids on his L.A. and Miami homes. Diddy’s lawyer called the raids a “witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”

Diddy had also issued a general denial amid the mounting allegations, noting in a December Instagram post … “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth.”

Diddy has yet to be arrested or charged with any crime … but murmurings of a potential indictment have circulated in recent weeks. In light of that, it’s interesting to see him here in Cali again … the first time he’s come out here since all this drama went down.
