Diddy's Alleged Criminal Activities and Implications for New York Politics

According to Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, the music mogul recorded lawmakers participating in his notorious “freak off” sessions on video. Deal also stated that Diddy’s arrest is connected to a purported corruption issue currently roiling New York City politics. Speaking on The Art of Dialogue podcast, Deal warned that Diddy’s prosecution could implicate prominent figures in the Big Apple, declaring, “This is all bigger than Diddy,” without revealing who the recorded individuals are.

Following his indictment in New York, Diddy is now facing the possibility of spending decades behind bars on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. These allegations emerged six months after federal officials raided his mansions in Los Angeles and Miami, recovering over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant allegedly used in the “freak off” sessions.

Prosecutors claimed that during these sessions, Diddy would sedate women and force them into long-distance sex acts with male prostitutes. Despite ongoing speculation about purported recordings of these meetings, prosecutors have not confirmed whether they exist. When asked about the presence of famous individuals in the alleged “freak off” recordings, Deal remarked, “(Diddy) gave celebrity parties, so what do you think?”

While Diddy’s properties were the focus of the raids, Deal indicated that the arrests are part of something “bigger than Diddy.” He noted that, despite accusations of criminal misconduct from former girlfriend Cassie Ventura and others, California authorities had declined to press charges. Instead, the allegations were filed in New York, which Deal believes ties into recent resignations and claims of government corruption in the city.

Deal added, “People aren’t going to tie this together,” suggesting that the implications of Diddy’s case extend beyond his individual actions. He claimed Diddy blames those who trained him in the music business for his alleged misdeeds, implying that Diddy is a victim of the influential music industry. “Puff wasn’t born a monster; he was made into a monster,” Deal stated, attributing Diddy’s behavior to experiences early in his career.

He explained that Diddy was influenced by a culture heavy with drugs and violence, leading him to think he could get away with similar actions. “I’m not going to say allegedly because I saw that for my own self,” he asserted. Deal described Diddy’s arrest as “karma” for a range of actions, including the claim that he drove rapper Biggie Smalls “to his death.” He concluded that Diddy’s learned behaviors, stemming from those around him, have now caught up with him.

Alongside the notorious deaths of Biggie Smalls and Tupac, Deal labeled Diddy’s arrest as “one of the greatest tragedies” in hip-hop history. “He brought it on himself,” he stated, emphasizing that Diddy knew he was wrong and failed to seek help for his behavior.
