Diddy’s Former Bodyguard, Gene Deal, Expresses Readiness To Testify Against Rapper In Near Future

April 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Things continue to ramp up in all of the wrong ways for Diddy. Everyday there is a new story, a different angle on a past headline, or new people speaking out against him. However, out all of the recent developing stories, the home raids were perhaps what caught most people’s attention. His Los Angeles and Miami homes were ransacked by Homeland Security Investigation teams, and it led many wondering how Diddy was not retained during them. But it seems that it will take more and more witnesses coming forward to place the mogul in court. Gene Deal, a former bodyguard for Diddy, can be added to the list of people willing to testify.

According to AllHipHop, Deal expressed his feelings about everything surrounding the rapper and businessman in an interview with The Art Of Dialogue. People have been reaching out to Gene in every way, saying that he is trying to purposefully drag Diddy’s name through the mud. However, he feels he has more than enough proof to make a compelling case. “I get all kinds of hate mail, IG’s, talking about that I am trying to take a Black man down. No, I went through every step you are supposed to go through when you got an issue with a man,” Gene explained.

Gene Deal Does Not Feel Bad For Diddy

“By him doing the things he did, and taking the avenue he took, he’s suffering the consequences, and I don’t feel bad at all.” Gene also feels that when “Money, Power & Respect” by The LOX, DMX, and Lil’ Kim came out, he thinks Diddy had that message of the song “a** backwards.” “You got your respect in the street, that gave you your power, that brought you your money… Do I care what happens? Got enough money to buy his way out of it… so we think.” He even believes that the rapper could commit su*cide in prison because he is a “narcissist.”

What are your thoughts on former Diddy bodyguard Gene Deal willing to testify about the mogul? Does this surprise you at all, why or why not? What do you think the rapper’s fate will be and how soon will he be heading to court? Do you think Gene will be the most important witness throughout this process?

R. Kelly Slams Diddy Sex Trafficking Investigation From Prison: “I Know What They Did”

March 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, Homeland Security raided two of Diddy’s mansions as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation, leaving the public in awe. Since then, the Bad Boy Records founder has been subject to even more scrutiny than usual, as countless social media users and peers share their reactions online. Most recently, R. Kelly even shared his thoughts on the debacle during a chat with Wack 100 on Clubhouse. He was critical of the investigation and others’ responses.

“The sh*t is cr*zy. Motherf*ckers out there laughing and making comedian jokes and doing all the other sh*t on the radio and everything else, but they a** could be next,” he explained. “That’s what’s so f*cked up about. They so st*pid they don’t even realize the moves that’s going on. I don’t believe none of this sh*t. You could tell me about Puffy, you could about anybody. You could tell me on the news, the weather, the sky is blue, I’m not gonna believe the sh*t. Cause I’m in it now, and I know what they did.”

For those who don’t know, R. Kelly is currently in prison for crimes similar to those Diddy is accused of, including sex trafficking, lewd acts with a child, and more. R. Kelly isn’t the only inmate to weigh in Diddy’s allegations as of late, however. Another convicted felon, Suge Knight, also recently shared his take on the raids. “It’s a bad day for hip hop, for the culture, for Black people,” he said. “‘Cause when one look bad, we all look bad… That’s definitely nothing to cheer about. I’ll tell you what Puffy, your life is in danger… You know they’re gonna get you if they can.”

Kelly’s reaction to the situation? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Diddy Could End Up “Dying In Prison,” Former Federal Prosecutor Speculates

March 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a shocking turn of events last week, it was revealed that two of Diddy’s mansions were raided by Homeland Security. Reportedly, the raids were conducted as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation. While the Bad Boy Records founder has not been charged with anything at the time of writing, the development has left the public in awe, and curious about what this could mean for the mogul’s future.

During a recent chat with Us Weekly, former U.S. prosecutor Neama Rahmani shared his take on Diddy’s legal drama. According to him, things could potentially end very badly for him. Moreover, he wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up behind bars with the likes of Jeffery Epstein and R. Kelly.

Neama Rahmani Discusses Diddy’s Allegations

“Cassie was with Diddy for a decade and she knew where the bodies were buried and she spilled it all out, and that encouraged other victims to come forward,” he explained. “Under federal law, if someone is convicted of even one count of sex trafficking, it carries a 10 or 15-year prison sentence minimum; the judge can’t go any lower for each count depending on the age of the victim… I wouldn’t be surprised if this is another Jeffery Epstein, R. Kelly type of case.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised if Diddy is arrested in the coming days or weeks,” Rahmani also added. “He’s going to have to face these charges. There’s no possible plea that is going to get him off with a slap on the wrist or probation. If prosecutors are successful, and they want to prove it, he may end up dying in prison.” What do you think of former U.S. prosecutor Neama Rahmani’s take on Diddy’s legal issues?

March 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fat Joe says he’s praying for Diddy and his family following the recent Homeland Security raids on his properties in Los Angeles and Miami. Speaking about the situation during an appearance on Hot 97 on Friday, Joe explained that he’s been friends with Diddy for decades and described the drama as a nightmare.

“What I can say in the most respectful way is, I don’t know all the details,” he said. “But I’ve been praying for him and his family. He’s my friend for 30 years. And so, I’m gonna just see what the outcome is, and I’m praying for the best thing for him, and his family, and everybody involved. So I’m not disrespecting nobody.

Agents reportedly raided Diddy’s properties in connection to an investigation into alleged sex trafficking. Diddy’s attorney, Aaron Dyer, quickly came to his client’s defense with a statement after the house raids. “Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” he explained. “There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.” Check out Joe’s comments on the situation below.

Fat Joe Speaks On His Relationship With Diddy

Fat Joe isn’t the only celebrity to come to Diddy’s defense in recent weeks. Stevie J, Floyd Mayweather, and more have called for people to reserve judgment on the disgraced Bad Boy mogul. Be on the lookout for further updates on Fat Joe and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy’s Son King Combs Speaks After Getting Detained During Home Raids

March 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Homeland Security raided two of Diddy’s mansions as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation. Needless to say, the reactions have been huge. While several fans and peers have shown their support for the Bad Boy Records founder since, others continue to have concerns about his allegedly illegal activity. He’s been subject to plenty of criticism, clowning, rumors, and more.

Amid the debacle, Diddy’s son Christian “King” Combs hopped online to share a message with his followers. While his message was pretty vague, the 25-year-old made it clear that he doesn’t appreciate all of the speculation, and that he fully supports his father. “Stop with the [cap emoji],” King wrote simply.

During the raids on Monday (March 25), King and his brother Justin were both seen in handcuffs. While they were both detained, neither of them were actually arrested. They were later spotted at his LA property the following evening fetching their belongings. Since then, King has remained fairly active on social media, though he hasn’t said much about his father’s legal issues. He’s even appeared in various sweet posts alongside his girlfriend Raven Tracy, with the couple most recently looking unfazed at the gym.

It looks like King might be taking notes from his dad, who’s also been looking unbothered as of late, considering the circumstances. Today, a clip of him and Stevie J in good spirits at a Miami cafe started to make its rounds after fitness influencer Wes Watson posted it online. In the clip, he smiles, flashing an “L” at the camera and saying “Love.” What do you think of Christian “King” Combs’ recent message to critics? What about his father’s mansions getting raided by Homeland Security earlier this week? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

March 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s current legal drama has fans and critics more curious than ever to know what the mogul has been up to behind the scenes. Evidently, they may get some answers soon. A new NFT listing on a crypto exchange website boasts footage and photos from his most private moments. It’s unconfirmed exactly what they have, but the listing states that it’s 13,000 files and 3 terabytes of content.

Currently, it’s listed at 425 wETH (Wrapped Ethereum), which equates to almost $1.5 million. It’s described as “unreleased, never-before-seen private footage and photos of Diddy in his residence, private jet, studios and various other locations engaged in private activities … And often doing and saying what appears to be very controversial things.”

It remains to be seen whether or not anyone will actually go through with a purchase of the NFT. It’s unsurprising, however, that people are trying to get in on the highly publicized drama. This is particularly true following the events of this week. On Monday (March 25), Homeland Security raided two of the Bad Boy Records founder’s mansions as part of a federal human trafficking investigation. New details of Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against him also came out, including accusations that he was involved in drug trafficking and more. Of course, he’s also accused of sexually assaulting various individuals. He denies all of the allegations.

Diddy appears to be shockingly unbothered by all of the controversy surrounding him these days, even recently hitting up a Miami cafe with Stevie J. Yesterday, he was also spotted at Top Golf with his two twin daughters, flashing a peace sign at onlookers. What do you think of an NFT listing boasting Diddy’s “controversial” private footage? Do you think anyone will buy it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Yung Miami Continues To Decline Any And All Diddy Rumors

March 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a pretty turbulent week for Diddy and as a result everyone close to him. That obviously includes his girlfriend Yung Miami who has found herself subject to quite a few rumors. They got started during the raid itself when some online tried to speculate that she could be playing some kind of informant role. That came after she responded to fans asking about where she was while the raids were being executed. But those turned out to be the first of many allegations she’d have to brush off.

Yung Miami posted a tweet earlier today that seemed to broadly deny many of the things she was accused of and frame them as ridiculous. “Y’all be going for ANYTHING” the tweet read. But when a fan responded with the claim that Miami was essentially being paid 250k a month just to spend time with Diddy, she clapped back. “Something the internet made up and yall ran with it!!! N*ggas don’t even pay that for child support why tf would a n*gga ever pay me 250k for. FOR WHAT??” her fiery response reads. Check out the full Twitter interaction below.

Yung Miami Claps Back At Fan Spreading Rumors

Something the internet made up and yall ran with it!!! Niggas don’t even pay that for child support why tf would a nigga ever pay me 250k for. FOR WHAT?? https://t.co/ChpAYOfqnz

— Yung Miami (@YungMiami305) March 29, 2024

Some of the most substantial rumors spread about Miami came from the lawsuit by former Diddy producer Lil Rod. The first allegations hit just a day after the raid when he amended the lawsuit with claims that Miami was drug trafficking for Diddy. Later amendments went even further claiming that she participated in sex work for the rap mogul.

Yung Miami’s legal team fired back hard with specific receipts from the time cited in the lawsuit. They claim to have proof that Miami was in New York getting fitted for her MET Gala dress at the time that the lawsuit claims she was with Diddy and company in Virginia. What do you think of Yung Miami’s reaction to fans spreading misinformation about her? Do you believe any of the claims made in Lil Rod’s lawsuit? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy Hits Up Top Golf With His Family Despite Police Raids

March 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week the dam finally broke for Diddy and it’s been a continuous cycle of bad news ever since. After months of allegations and accusations of decades of bad behavior were levelled against the rap mogul through various lawsuits, that stakes were significantly raised. At the start of the week the feds raided two of the rapper’s properties, something they later confirmed was in relation to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

Additionally, celebrities from across the entertainment spectrum have been reacting to the news and some have even promised Diddy stories of their own will be revealed. But the man himself seems to be trying to play it as cool as possible. TMZ spotted him out and about in Miami with his twin daughters where they hit up Top Golf to get some swings in. He’s bouncing around the same city where his residency was just raided and one of his associates arrested following his plane being intercepted. In a picture outside the venue Diddy throw up some casual peace signs. Check out the pictures below.

TMZ is also reporting that the investigation is turning towards private jet companies next. They reportedly want to know who Diddy flew where and speak to many of those passengers. In the days following the raids there’s been a ton of rampant speculation and rumor spreading online. Some of which has even come from updates to producer Lil Rod’s lawsuit against the rap mogul.

After he added an amendment to his original lawsuit making claims about Yung Miami, her team shut it down quickly. They brought out the receipts of where she was at the time of the allegations. The City Girls rapper was getting fitted for her elaborate MET Gala dress. What do you think of Diddy casually hitting up Top Golf just days after the feds raided his homes? Do you think any kind of arrest will spawn from the current federal government investigation? Let us know in the comment section below.

Suge Knight Sends Diddy A Cryptic Warning From Prison After Home Raids

March 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, two of Diddy’s mansions were raided by Homeland Security as part of a federal human trafficking investigation. While the Bad Boy Records founder has not been charged, the unexpected development has fans more concerned than ever, and critics over the moon. Amid all of the chatter surrounding the raids, Suge Knight shared his reaction to the debacle on his prison podcast, Collect Call With Suge Knight. Unfortunately, it didn’t end up making the final cut.

TMZ reportedly got a hold of his commentary, however, and he seemingly believes Diddy will end up behind bars. The outlet notes that Knight started out by stating that his prayers are with Diddy’s family, especially his sons Justin and King Combs, who were detained but not arrested during the raids. He then went on to give Diddy a warning about serving time.

Suge Knight Reacts To Diddy Getting Raided By Homeland Security

“It’s a bad day for hip hop, for the culture, for Black people,” he says. “‘Cause when one look bad, we all look bad… That’s definitely nothing to cheer about. I’ll tell you what Puffy, your life is in danger… You know they’re gonna get you if they can.” He went on, encouraging the mogul to turn himself in. Knight also advised Diddy not to use “Brother Love” during his hypothetical prison stay, claiming it’ll give other inmates the wrong idea.

Diddy’s not the only one who could be facing legal consequences, however. In Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against him, he also listed Yung Miami, accusing her of trafficking “pink cocaine” for her non-exclusive boyfriend. Sources have since claimed that she has a rock-solid alibi, arguing that the dates in the suit don’t line up. Allegedly, she was being fitted for her Met Gala gown when Lil Rod accused her of standing in for Diddy’s alleged “drug mule,” Brendan Paul. What do you think of Suge Knight’s reaction to Diddy’s mansions being raided by Homeland Security? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
