Roger Bonds Affirms That He Would Testify Against Diddy If The Court Summons Him

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s situation seemingly grows worse by the day, and new remarks from Roger Bonds indicate that he could contribute to his process of accountability if his accused crimes of sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking are all true. Moreover, Sean Combs’ former bodyguard spoke to DJ Vlad on VladTV about how he would testify against the Bad Boy mogul if the court subpoenas him. Vlad clarified that cooperation isn’t mandatory, but Bonds feels morally obliged to stand up against injustice and in defense of the women that his former employer has allegedly and, in the case of Cassie, definitely mistreated.

Furthermore, Roger Bonds expressed that he doesn’t care about folks calling him a “snitch” because his priorities now favor his family’s well-being and that of others instead of street codes. Vlad gave him his due respect for his efforts and principles, and he emphasized the crucial need to promote change against abhorrent and criminal behaviors and systems. In addition, Bonds had previously spoken about reaching out to one of Kim Porter’s friends about Diddy after her death. While he has his doubts, he believes that Combs truly loved her despite his alleged conflicts with her in their relationship.

Roger Bonds On Testifying Against Diddy

Meanwhile, this promise from Roger Bonds comes as Diddy tries to distract himself from everything that’s going on. Photographers recently spotted him white water rafting in Wyoming with some friends, and it became one of the few public sightings he faced since this whole scandal blew up. As such, we don’t really know that much about the situation or about what this movement looks like amid various accusations and lawsuits. But one thing’s for sure: each and every pop-out brings us one step closer to seeing how this will all end.

Elsewhere, the Combs family is trying to move on with their lives as well, with his twin daughters attending the BET Experience show. It’s definitely been a difficult process to undergo, especially under so much media scrutiny and theorizing. Maybe one day, there will be a legacy for them that goes beyond the works and alleged crimes of its patriarch. But not today.

Roger Bonds Recalls Asking One Of Kim Porter’s “Close Friends” About Diddy After Her Death

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Roger Bonds says he spoke with one of Kim Porter’s “close friends” after her tragic death of lobar pneumonia in 2018. He recalled doing so during an interview with VladTV that has been causing all kinds of headlines in recent days. The former security guard for the Bad Boy mogul has been making numerous claims about Diddy and his relationship with Cassie.

Bonds explained that he wasn’t involved with Diddy directly at the time, but was “still in the mix” while working with Ciroc. He claims he spoke with one of Porter’s “closet friends” after her passing: “I just needed to know and I asked them, ‘What do you think?’ And this was one of Kim’s closest friends and she said, ‘Bonds, I would hate to think that he had something to do with it,’ she said.’” From there, he recalled the friend detailing the days leading up to her passing and a time she wore an IV in her arm at a party.

Bonds also denied the rumors that Porter was writing a “tell-all” book about the allegations against Diddy. Instead, he says a friend told him it was just a children’s book. “She didn’t like the way that Puff controlled her and the way he controlled the money he would give her for the kids. So, she wanted to make sure– her exact words were, ‘This motherf*cker not gonna run my kids like this. I want them to have they own money like Russell and his kids have.’ So, she was trying to build a foundation for them to have their own following.” He concluded by saying that he thinks Diddy truly loved Kim and doesn’t think he would’ve played a part in her death. However, he says in the wake of the latest allegations he can’t definitively say either way.

The interview comes after CNN published footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016. He eventually apologized for the incident a few days later. Be on the lookout for further updates on Roger Bonds and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy Gave Cassie’s Friend A Concussion With Hanger, Ex-Bodyguard Alleges

June 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After disturbing footage of Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie surfaced online last month, the Bad Boy Records founder has been hit with a slew of additional accusations. Aside from even more lawsuits, various former collaborators and peers have come forward to share their memories of the mogul, including Roger Bonds. Bonds worked as a bodyguard for Diddy for several years. He shared some shocking stories about it during a recent interview with VladTV.

One time, for example, he recalls reaching out to Cassie’s close friend Kerry Morgan after learning he was named in the songstress’s lawsuit against Diddy. At the time, Morgan told him she hadn’t spoken to Cassie since 2018. She alleged that Diddy had thrown a wooden hanger at her, giving her a concussion. She also claimed that at the time, Cassie didn’t back her up. For this reason, she told him she stopped talking to Cassie altogether.

Roger Bonds Recalls Alleged Conversation With Kerry Morgan

Bonds says that in the lawsuit, Cassie accuses Diddy of having put hands on one of her friends and giving her $50K to keep quiet. After speaking with Morgan, he came to the conclusion that she must have been the friend mentioned in the lawsuit. “I put two and two together and said ‘Okay, this is Kerry.’ Because Kerry said she didn’t say nothing, and I was wondering why she never said nothing.”

He went on to claim that Diddy hid a lot of his allegedly abusive behavior with NDAs, and that this situation was no exception. “They can’t mention it publicly… But somebody else can. So that’s what he’s been hiding behind this whole time.” What do you think of Roger Bonds’ recent claims about Diddy? What about him accusing Diddy of giving Cassie’s friend a concussion with a thrown hanger? Are you surprised?

Roger Bonds Thinks Diddy & Cassie Assault Video Proves The Truth Behind All Their Stories

June 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Roger Bonds’ recent interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV continues to provide some interesting claims and insights into the Diddy situation. Moreover, the Bad Boy mogul’s former bodyguard told Vlad of how he perceived the reaction to the video of Sean Combs assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. Bonds told the story of how Puffy was intoxicated in this incident, and how many folks initially expressed skepticism at abuse claims that he and Cassie brought forth against Puff Daddy. However, Bonds also revealed how the release of the video also made him feel slightly vindicated, as the narrative they painted around their former colleague could no longer be denied, at least in part.

Of course, Diddy’s multiple other lawsuits and accusations of sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking aren’t all immediately proven by a single video. What the clip did show us is that at least this specific incident occurred, regardless of how it paints other accusations. It’s still very much a gray area, since there hasn’t been a lot of explicit legal development when it comes to the search for accountability. Hopefully this changes soon with more details and investigations that get further to the truth behind all these accusations.

Roger Bonds On Diddy & Cassie Video Validating Testimonies

Still, recent changes and actions suggest that Diddy will take a public backseat for a while. For example, he and his team recently wiped his Instagram account’s posts completely, one of which was a video apology to Cassie after this video leaked. The music executive and businessman’s team relayed that he still stands by the apology despite taking it down. They also denied the idea that he took his posts down for any particular reason.

Meanwhile, others spent their time recently thinking of ways in which Diddy could escape this public scrutiny, including Michael Blackson. “There’s probably three ways [for him] coming back to life,” he suggested. “Probably the Nation Of Islam. Number one, probably, right? You know, go out there, go talk to [Louis] Farrakhan, join the team. I mean put him on the street [to] sell bean pies, like they did back in [the] 90s. Two, just join the LGBTQIE [sic]. I’m not sure if I missed any letters or not. Join them […] Turn into a pastor [or] something; turn into a Ma$e. Y’know, become a pastor, or just pack this s**t and go to some village somewhere and change your name.”

Roger Bonds Addresses Diddy & Felix Da Housecat Relationship Rumors

June 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rumors of Diddy’s sexuality have run rampant amid his various lawsuits on accusations of sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking, but his former head of security Roger Bonds is clearing up one particular rumor. Moreover, he recently spoke to DJ Vlad on VladTV about the specific speculation that the Bad Boy mogul was in a relationship of sorts with DJ Felix Da Housecat. Bonds stated that, while he had knowledge that Felix was a part of Sean Combs’ inner circle, he never saw anything explicitly sexual or romantic between them. Da Housecat was one of many of the New York executive’s frequent party guests, and they would allegedly take ecstasy together which, along with other substances, meant that increased affection did not reflect their true sexuality.

Furthermore, along with these claims, Roger Bonds suggested that Diddy coming out as bisexual, if that actually is his orientation, would now benefit his case amid his many other controversies. Still, it sounds exploitative and harmful to hide behind appeals to inclusion and the LGBTQIA2+ community to excuse or obfuscate allegations of serious criminal behavior. Nevertheless, Bonds maintained that the accusations of domestic violence against Combs are much more important to address and determine accountability for than any rumors about his sexuality. In his opinion, more transparency and honesty in the past could’ve mitigated much of the current controversy around Puff Daddy.

Roger Bonds Speaks On Diddy & Felix Da Housecat

As far as other developments in this scandal, it seems like Diddy’s going offline. He recently wiped all of his Instagram posts from his account, including a backlash-inducing and conversation-spurring apology video to Cassie. The footage of the 54-year-old assaulting her in a hotel hallway shocked the world and sent this case further into a downward spiral. We’ll see whether or not he plans to post anything else.

Meanwhile, all this didn’t stop Roger Bonds from claiming that Diddy invited male sex workers for “freak-offs” with him and Cassie. It seems like his philosophy on all this is to be careful about the specifics. One accusation can be true, while another can be false despite whatever close similarities it might have to the former. It’s all a very complicated web, but again, there are other alleged crimes and behaviors that are much more crucial to get to the bottom of.

Diddy Invited Male Sex Workers To His Room For “Freak Offs” With Cassie, Ex-Bodyguard Alleges

June 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since Cassie filed her bombshell lawsuit against Diddy in November of last year, the Bad Boy Records founder has been hit with countless shocking allegations. In her suit, Cassie accused him of sexual assault, abuse, and much more. She even alleged that the mogul would make her engage in sexual acts with male escorts in what were dubbed “freak-offs.” Allegedly, he would film the drug-fueled encounters, and eventually had Cassie find and hire the escorts herself.

During a recent interview with VladTV, Diddy’s former bodyguard Roger Bonds shared his take on these claims. He alleges that while he wasn’t involved in these events “on any level,” he did know of a camera bag that Diddy’s assistants were ordered to keep on them at all times. According to Bonds, this held the camera used to film the alleged freak-offs.

Bonds also recalls one instance when he had the day off and felt as though Diddy was rushing him to leave the hotel he was staying at. He claims this made him feel even more suspicious than he would have been otherwise. This was only compounded when he took the elevator down and spotted who appeared to be a male escort heading up. “I stayed on the elevator and the elevator stopped on Puff’s floor,” he alleged. “He just walked straight to Puff’s door.”

He then remembered the man allegedly knocking on the door of Diddy’s room and being let in. Bonds says this wasn’t of concern to him immediately, as he had just assumed that he and Cassie were “freaks.” Bonds said he would see other men allegedly spend time with Diddy and Cassie on various occasions. He can’t confirm what was happening behind closed doors but put two and two together once he read Cassie’s lawsuit. What do you think of Roger Bonds’ latest Diddy allegations?

Diddy Allegedly Abused Cassie For Having An Affair With Kid Cudi

June 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Roger Bonds, a former security guard for Diddy, claims the Bad Boy mogul once beat up Cassie after learning of an alleged affair she had with Kid Cudi in 2011. Speaking with VladTV for a recent interview, Bonds explained that he was only doing security part-time by that point; however, he heard that she was romantically involved with Cudi. Bonds then says that Diddy found out about this affair by going through Cassie’s phone.

“I don’t know exactly what he said. I know that he went over to his house and Kid Cudi wasn’t there,” he explained. “At that particular time, after that happened, Cassie wouldn’t come around and then, all of the sudden, Cassie came around and Diddy was upset. He was upset with a young lady called Capricorn. So, Capricorn was his personal assistant.” From there, he describes Capricorn as Diddy’s “ride or die” and recalls him rarely getting upset with her. “She had to know about Kid Cudi because she never went to the studio by herself. She always went with Cassie,” he said. “He put hands on Capricorn because of that situation. Capricorn ended up leaving and suing him for it. He paid Capricorn $450,000 to keep her mouth shut.”

The claims about Kid Cudi are just one of several Bonds has made about Diddy during the entirety of his new interview with VladTV. Bonds also accused him of being a “junkie,” insulting Cassie’s parents, and much more. The interview comes after CNN published footage from 2016 of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel. While he seemingly apologized for that incident afterward, he’s vehemently denied the allegations he’s facing.

Cassie Once Punched Diddy In The Face During Intense Brawl, Ex-Bodyguard Alleges

June 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The public has certainly heard no shortage of disturbing allegations about Diddy in recent months, many of which pertain to his tumultuous relationship with his ex-girlfriend Cassie. The songstress sued him in November of last year, accusing him of sexual assault, abuse, and much more. They settled shortly after she filed, though just last month, footage of him assaulting her at a hotel in 2016 surfaced online.

Roger Bonds Recalls Diddy & Cassie’s Alleged Fight

She punched him in the face and they started fighting,” he alleged. “In my mind, I was happy because I actually seen her fight back. In my mind I was happy.”

He went on, claiming that things escalated once again when they got back to the house. Bonds alleges that Cassie “kicked” Diddy, prompting him to grab the mogul who had allegedly tried to chase her.

Roger Bonds Accuses Diddy Of Manipulating Cassie To Be In A Relationship

June 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy scandal has been increasingly difficult to keep up with thanks to a barrage of new claims, allegations, and accusations from many sources. Moreover, some of the most recent bombshell claims emerged from his former head of security Roger Bonds’ new interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV. One of these claims included the supposition that Sean Combs made Cassie redo her plastic surgery weeks after the procedure, along with some other allegations. In addition, Bonds accused him of manipulated her into being in a relationship with him, as he allegedly had a promoter make a fake party flier and convinced her to fly to Miami alone for it.

Furthermore, Roger Bonds also claims that Diddy and Cassie did drugs before they had their first intimate moment, and Bonds confirmed that he was under the Bad Boy mogul’s employment at the time. Apparently, Puffy gave her expensive gift after expensive gift, whether it was a Manhattan apartment close to his or a new car. In fact, Bonds alleges that even Cassie’s parents eventually fell victim to this alleged manipulation, since he sent them on trips. He also claimed that the New York entrepreneur and music executive callously controlled much of her finances and career opportunities in ways that potentially sabotaged her potential success.

Roger Bonds Claims Diddy & Cassie Relationship Was Built On Manipulation

“You can say I was disgusted with the video,” the father of Kim Porter, Diddy’s late ex, remarked about the clip of him abusing Cassie in a hotel hallway. “And I wouldn’t treat my enemy like that. It was despicable… I couldn’t believe it, I was in Vietnam, and I wouldn’t do that to my enemy. I didn’t know he could stoop that low, I imagine it surprised a lot of people.” It’s important to note that he also said that he never saw Puff Daddy be violent “to that extent” with his daughter.

Meanwhile, some Diddy-related theories now moved on to rope in other celebrities and pop culture elements instead of focusing on him. For example, an alleged industry insider suggested that Jay-Z and Beyoncé are laying low in the public eye due to their connections to him. Of course, they escaped mention in the lawsuits against Puff, so this is just speculative. But we’re sure that more famous folks will continue to speak out about this scandal in one way or another.

June 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy has faced no shortage of allegations in recent months from former partners, peers, and employees. Many of the accusations made against him suggest an alleged pattern of violence towards women. His former partner Cassie sued him in November of last year, and though they’ve since settled, she accused him of sexual assault, abuse, and more.

Roger Bonds On Diddy’s Allegedly Rocky Past With Chefs

According to Bonds, Diddy once had a personal chef named Jordan, who worked for the mogul for about three years altogether. At one point, he says that Jordan was supposed to let some housekeepers into Diddy’s home, but she didn’t. He claims that she had gotten confused because the people who showed up weren’t their usual staff, and she was trying to keep the children of the house out of harm’s way. Shortly after, she was asked to make a nanny coffee but insisted that she didn’t know how. Bonds says this is when Diddy allegedly went off. He accuses him of pushing her back by her forehead and shoving her out of the door. Allegedly, this caused her to land on the ground.

He adds that Jordan reached out to him as the other accusations Diddy’s facing were making their rounds, as they brought back the trauma of the alleged assault.
