Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, has alleged that the music mogul kept tapes of politicians participating in his notorious ‘freak off’ sessions. Deal also claims that Diddy’s recent arrest is linked to a wider corruption scandal currently engulfing New York City politics.
High-Profile Politicians and Celebrities at Risk
Gene Deal, who worked closely with Diddy during the 1990s, spoke on *The Art of Dialogue* podcast, suggesting that the recent charges against Diddy could implicate well-known officials and celebrities in New York. While Deal didn’t name specific individuals, he stated, “This is all bigger than Diddy,” leaving many to wonder about the potential fallout.
Diddy’s Legal Troubles and Infamous ‘Freak Off’ Sessions
Diddy has been indicted on charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution. His mansions in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal agents six months prior to his arrest, with authorities reportedly seizing over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, allegedly used during his infamous ‘freak off’ sessions.
These sessions reportedly involved women being coerced into sexual encounters with male prostitutes after being plied with drugs, according to prosecutors. Though speculation has arisen regarding tapes of these encounters, the prosecution has yet to confirm their existence.
The Alleged Tapes and Celebrities Involved
When asked if celebrities might have appeared on the supposed tapes, Deal cryptically responded, “(Diddy) gave celebrity parties, so what do you think?” This statement has fueled further rumors, though no clear evidence of such tapes has been provided by authorities.
Bigger Than Diddy: Political Connections and Scandals
Deal speculated that Diddy’s arrest was part of a larger investigation beyond the entertainment industry, hinting at ties to New York City political corruption. He noted that while California prosecutors did not bring charges against Diddy, New York officials pursued the case—potentially connecting it to recent political resignations and scandals.
Diddy’s Past and Alleged Influence
According to Deal, Diddy’s behavior was shaped by powerful figures in the music industry, who allegedly introduced him to criminal activities early in his career. “Puff wasn’t born a monster, he was made into a monster,” Deal remarked, implying that Diddy was emulating the behavior of those who mentored him.
Deal also blamed these figures for Diddy’s current legal troubles, stating, “He was doing to other people what was done to him… that’s learned behavior.”
Karma and Diddy’s Arrest
Deal further described Diddy’s arrest as “karma” for his past actions, including allegations that Diddy played a role in the death of fellow rapper Biggie Smalls. “His karma was bound to catch up with him,” Deal added, referencing years of rumored misdeeds within the hip-hop world.
He concluded that Diddy’s arrest might be remembered as one of the greatest tragedies in hip-hop, on par with the deaths of Tupac and Biggie. “He brought it on himself,” Deal said, adding that Diddy had chances to seek help but ultimately chose not to.
