Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Could Be Called As Witness Amid Male Inmate’s Lawsuit Over Alleged Assault

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s legal issues continue, and unfortunately for the mogul, they don’t show any signs of slowing down. In September of this year, Michigan inmate Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith was awarded a $100 million default judgment after accusing Diddy of sexual assault. Shortly after, Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo addressed the judgment in a statement.

“This man is a convicted felon and sexual predator, who has been sentenced on 14 counts of sexual assault and kidnapping over the last 26 years,” he explained. “His resume now includes committing a fraud on the court from prison, as Mr. Combs has never heard of him let alone been served with any lawsuit. Mr. Combs looks forward to having this judgment swiftly dismissed.” The judgment was later overturned by Judge Anna Marie Anzalone, who ruled that Cardello-Smith failed to serve Diddy in accordance with the law. Now, it looks like Diddy’s former bodyguard Gene Deal could get involved.

According to an exclusive report by AllHipHop, Cardello-Smith recently filed a notice in the U.S. District Court for Deal to be called as a material witness. He claims Deal is familiar with Diddy’s past lifestyle, which he says played a role in the alleged assault. Deal has spoken on various occasions about his experiences working for Diddy, also making countless shocking allegations against the Bad Boy founder.

Last month, for example, he accused Diddy of sexually assaulting Usher during an interview with The Art of Dialogue. He even alleged that the R&B icon had to be hospitalized following the alleged attack. “I heard it from some music executives,” he claimed at the time. “I’m not gonna speak on they name. They may speak on it theyself.”

Diddy Allegedly Performed A Bird Sacrifice Ahead Of Shyne’s Shooting Verdict

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, has accused the Bad Boy mogul of allegedly performing a sacrificial ritual involving a bird ahead of the verdict in a 1999 nightclub shooting involving Shyne Barrow. Deal made the accusation in the new documentary for Hulu, The Honorable Shyne, which premieres on the streaming service on Monday night.

As caught by Rolling Stone, Deal alleges in the film that Diddy had his driver take him to Central Park where a man was waiting just hours before the ruling. “When Puff got close to the guy, he just dropped down to his knees,” Deal recalled. “Next thing I see, is this smoke just going back and forth around Puff. I guess it was sage or something like that… Puff took this white bird and threw it up in the air, and the bird just fell to the ground, boom, like it was a brick. I was like, ‘Oh, sh*t!’ … The bird died, man … the bird didn’t even move. [Combs] just walked away from him real quick.”

Diddy ended up being acquitted of the charges against him while Shyne was found guilty of assault, reckless endangerment, and criminal possession of a pistol. For the crime, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Shyne further alleges he was set up to be the “fall guy,” in the case.

“The Honorable Shyne” To Premiere On Monday Night

After getting out of prison, Shyne was deported back to Belize, where he’s since become the leader of the Belize United Democratic Party. Check out a trailer for The Honorable Shyne below. The documentary will be hitting Hulu on Monday night.

Diddy’s Ex Bodyguard Claims Jay-Z Allegedly Hid From 2Pac In A Vegas Hotel Room

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gene Deal, who used to be a bodyguard for Diddy, has relayed a lot of allegations and claims about the Bad Boy mogul amid his massive scandal. But not every one of his hip-hop history recollections have to do with Sean Combs. For example, Deal recently sat down with Cam Capone News and told a curious story about Jay-Z and a Las Vegas concert he had in the late 1990s. Allegedly, the New York rapper received news that Tupac Shakur heard about his Vegas show, and this was at the height of the East Coast and West Coast beef also involving Biggie, Bad Boy, Death Row… You know the story.

“I don’t know how Pac found out that Jay-Z had a show, but Jay-Z was not coming out that room,” Diddy’s former bodyguard alleged. According to his claims, some people had to step in and help. These include Chaz Williams, Big D, Eric B, and finally Suge Knight. “Suge said, ‘Yo, man, that ain’t me. That’s Pac with his wild a**.’ Suge Knight told Pac to give Jay-Z a pass so he could go do his concert, because Jay wasn’t coming out of that room, you know, to do nothing,” Gene Deal claimed.

Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Tells Alleged Jay-Z & Tupac Story

However, this isn’t the first time that Gene Deal has told this alleged story, as he did so on The Art Of Dialogue in 2022. Still, nothing then and nothing now corroborates or backs any of this up, so this isn’t straight-up fact. Deal also speculated that, while he doesn’t really know why Tupac Shakur supposedly wanted to confront Jay-Z, he thinks that it could be as a result of Hov’s “Brooklyn’s Finest” collab with Biggie Smalls from 1996’s Reasonable Doubt.

Funnily enough, Irv Gotti told Fat Joe in 2020 that he warned Jay-Z to not record that track. “I was dead set against it,” he shared. “I was telling Jay, ‘Don’t do it, don’t do it.’ And he was like, ‘Why?’ I was like, ‘Big, he’s too strong. Before we take over the world, we gotta take over the West Coast. Before we take over the West Coast, we gotta take over the East Coast, before we take over the East Coast, we gotta take over New York, before we take over New York, you got to take over Brooklyn. And he owns all that.’ And I was like, ‘This n***a’s not a wack n***a.’ I was in fear like, ‘Yo, you may came off like his little man,’ you understand?”

Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Alleges That Biggie’s Mother Co-Signs His Plan To Expose Mogul

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy is currently dealing with his fair share of legal issues. Last month, the Bad Boy founder was arrested in New York City and has since been behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He’s been hit with various charges related to alleged racketeering and sex trafficking and could end up serving serious time if convicted. According to his former bodyguard Gene Deal, however, these aren’t the only alleged crimes he should be exposed for.

During a recent episode of the Paperwork Party Podcast, he chatted with The Notorious B.I.G.’s mother, Voletta Wallace. Their conversation was brief, but during it, Wallace seemed to express her support for Deal. He then went on to gush about the interaction and the fact that she seemingly co-signed his efforts to expose Diddy. It’s speculated that he was referring to theories that Diddy was allegedly involved in Biggie and 2Pac’s murders, per AllHipHop.

Gene Deal & Voletta Wallace’s Conversation

“Did you hear that?” he asked. “She just said she be watching me. Go ahead and do what you do. Did you hear that? All muthaf*ckas that don’t give a f*ck about n***a, you just heard it from Big’s mama. Yeah.” Their conversation took place just a few months after Wallace weighed in on footage of Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016, which was released earlier this year.

“I’m sick to my stomach,” she told Rolling Stone at the time. “I’m praying for Cassie,” Wallace also added, “I’m praying for his mother. I don’t want to believe the things that I’ve heard, but I’ve seen [the hotel video], I pray that he apologizes to her […] I hope that I see Sean one day and the only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him. And you can quote me on that.” What do you think of Diddy’s ex-bodyguard Gene Deal alleging that Biggie’s mother supports his plan to expose Diddy?

Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Foresees His Arrest For 2Pac’s Murder Coming Soon

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, claims an arrest for the Bad Boy mogul regarding the killing of 2Pac is imminent. During an appearance on The Art of Dialogue, Deal speculated how a federal investigation into Diddy, which included the Homeland Security raids on his properties, last month, could be coming to a close.

“The feds are so deep and involved in this that Diddy just might be called up on that 2Pac sh*t,” Deal alleged. “Once they go through the money trail and find out why certain people were given certain positions, it’s going to be a problem because they’re going to look at all that. Anything they can bring up, they’re going to bring it up.”

From there, he mentioned an alleged million-dollar check handed to Eric Von Zip. He claims it was payment for a hit on the legendary rapper. “When Zip came up with the check for a million dollars, he said it was from Blackground Records and he said that’s who he got that money from. So now, if that’s true, then the feds would have to go in and do a money trace on where did that check come from,” Deal further claimed.

Gene Deal Speaks On Diddy

Deal also mentioned the recent release of footage showing Diddy appearing to assault Cassie at a hotel in 2016. “That’s why that tape of Cassie was released,” he argued. “So, anybody who was willing to try to help him, anybody who was trying to say that he ain’t capable of doing this, he ain’t capable of doing that, they got it right there on videotape.” If Diddy does face criminal charges for any of the allegations, Deal has previously admitted he’d be willing to testify.

Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Claims His Secret Tapes Could Feature Politicians, Preachers, And Princes

April 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, two of Diddy’s mansions were raided by Homeland Security amid a federal sex trafficking investigation. While it remains unclear exactly what officials found in the mogul’s homes, social media users suspect it could include evidence incriminating some of his celebrity peers. According to his ex-bodyguard Gene Deal, there are several individuals from various walks of life who could have been caught on camera engaging in questionable activity.

“I don’t think it’s only celebrities gonna be shook,” Deal explained in a recent interview with The Art Of Dialogue. “He had politicians in there, he had princes in there, he also had a couple of preachers in there.”

Deal went on to suggest that most of Diddy’s celebrity friends are choosing to keep quiet on the case for now because the Bad Boy Records founder’s entire house was equipped with cameras and audio recording devices. “I think the celebrities that may be worried is because of what Lil Rod said,” he described. “Lil Rod said in his affidavit that Diddy had every room taped and bugged. Can you imagine? He had every room taped and bugged, and they found little bugs and tape recorders… They found them in the house, bruh. So by them having those things in the house and people know there’s drugs and alcohol, there’s loose women, there’s loose men… All kinds of cr*zy sh*t. They’re just wondering who or when they’re gonna let this stuff be known.”

Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Alleges Kim Porter Once Slashed Bad Boy Mogul’s Wrist In Self Defense

November 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, says that he once witnessed Kim Porter attack Diddy in self-defense. Speaking with The Art of Dialogue, Deal alleged that the since-deceased Porter slashed the Bad Boy mogul’s wrists in an attempt to protect herself from his abuse. The comments are circulating after Cassie recently filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing him of rape, sexual abuse, and more.

The conversation arose with Deal reacting to Diddy’s track dedicated to Porter on his new project, The Love Album: Off The Grid. “I think that’s a great thing to do, to honor the person that you said you love,” Deal said. “To honor the woman who gave you a scar on your wrist for the rest of your life that you could always look at and remember, you know what I’m saying?”

He continued: “One night, when they were at home, at Kim’s house […] he wanted to, you know, put his hands on her in the wrong way. And Kim took one of those corkscrews and ripped his wrists up and she hit an artery. And when she did that, he had to rush over to St. Luke’s Hospital.”

Gene Deal Discusses Diddy’s Relationship With Kim Porter

In Cassie’s lawsuit, she accused Diddy of several wrongdoings including rape, physical abuse, introducing her to alcohol and drugs, and more. She claimed that Diddy forced her to travel to luxury hotels across the United States where she would perform with male sex workers while he masturbated. When she attempted to leave the relationship, Diddy would allegedly threaten her career in the entertainment industry. The two have since reached a settlement.

Mase Overestimated Number Of Bloods Looking For Him After Biggie’s Death, Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Claims

November 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent episode of It Is What It Is, Mase reflected on the aftermath of The Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 death. According to the Florida-born rapper, things got pretty scary. He claimed that around “70” Bloods were on the hunt for him, leaving him afraid to even step out of his hotel room. He said that he then called up Gene Deal, Diddy’s former bodyguard, who eventually came and got him.

“After Big got killed, they were probably looking for more Bad Boy artists,” Mase explained. “I was left in L.A. And from that day, I always said, ‘I’m outta here. I was left! I came there with people; I ain’t leave with those people. You know how it goes. Find your way home.” Now, Deal has come through with his own version of events, which differs slightly from Mase’s. He sat down with The Art of Dialogue this week to reflect on the frightening situation.

Gene Deal Offers His Version Of Events

“I called Mase that morning, and me and Mase spoke,” Deal described. “And then, he was telling me how all them Bloods and everything that was out there. So, I was with a couple of dudes that was from Black Hands — which is a part of the Black Guerrilla Mafia.” He went on, explaining how he thinks Mase could have overestimated the amount of Bloods there out of fear. “We just went to the end of his hallway. He said it was a lot of Bloods out there. It’s some dudes out there I wasn’t recognizing. You know I recognize, but I don’t think it was — You know, he said it was like 70 [Bloods]. When I got there, it wasn’t that many dudes out there like that, but he could’ve seen 70, 17, 20, 30,” he explained.

“When you think somebody tryna get you, and n***as is running the hallways because they know Bad Boy was staying there, it’s a lot of dudes.” What do you think of Gene Deal’s version of events? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent The Art Of Dialogue interview with former Bad Boy bodyguard Gene Deal, Diddy’s ex=associate claims that Diddy, who was then known as Puff Daddy, engaged in sexual acts with Karrine “Superhead” Steffans while his then wife, Jennifer Lopez, was in the same house. These allegations have many wondering if Lopez was aware of the extent of her ex-husband’s infidelity in the early 2000s.

Deal says that the former famous couple attended a Miami Hurricanes game, which was followed up by a dinner party organized by the singer/actress. According to the claims, Diddy’s friend Slam arranged for Steffans to join them in a private room. it is alleged that when Lopez went upstairs, Steffans and Combs were intimate.

It is still yet to be confirmed as to whether or not the woman in question was actually Karrine Steffans, however, Deal does insist that Lopez had no idea of what was occurring in her own home.

[WATCH] Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Says Snoop Is Lying About His Relationship With Biggie

February 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In an exclusive interview with Art Of Dialogue, former Bad Boy bodyguard Gene Deal calls into question as to why Snoop’s version of his relationship with the Notorious B.I.G. wasn’t privy to the public ntil after his death.

“That’s something that sounds good for the media,” he said of the Doggfather’s accounts of his friendship with Biggie. “You know, ‘I’m the peacemaker. I’m the one that’s showing love. I’m the one that’s out here when everybody else is dead, wishing that I coulda did something to put the shit together.”

“It wasn’t all that love until ‘Pac was dead,” Deal continued. “Wasn’t Big out in California three, four weeks and Snoop never saw him? Snoop never came and smoked nothing wit’ him. Snoop never came and ate nothing with him. But it was a lot of love? Come on, man.”

Snoop has spoken several times about his relationship with Biggie and even talked about the moment they shared after hearing the news about the death of Biggie’s friend-turned-nemesis, Tupac Shakur back in 2018. The alleged conversation took place after a shooting in Times Square during the filming of the Dogg Pound’s “NY NY” video, of which he felt B.I.G. was responsible after announcing on NYC Hip Hop station HOT 97 where the video shoot was taking place. The two allegedly bumped heads in ATL and came to a resolve.

“It’s just me and him, one on one,” Snoop Dogg recalled. “And he giving me the rundown about how much he loved 2Pac and he didn’t wanna see cuz die. And a lot of shit that he said and did, he was wrong for. He just was apologizing like a man, to me.”

“Just getting an understanding on what he did, ’cause I never tripped on him for what he did,” he continued. “That was a Dogg Pound video, that wasn’t a 2Pac video. And we got shot at, and the direct shot came from him. But nobody got hit so we let it go. So with him apologizing to me, we became friends again.”

When asked to confirm if that conversation actually took place, Deal says he was not present, therefore, he couldn’t confirm or deny if the convo actually went down.
