Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Roger Bonds Calls Mogul “Emotionless”

December 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s former head of security Roger Bonds plans to tell his side of the story on an upcoming episode of The Danza Project. In an exclusive trailer provided to Hot New Hip Hop, Bonds, who previously corroborated Cassie’s claims of Diddy’s abuse before walking back on his comments, sat down for a tell-all where he shared his perspective on the matter. The show’s co-host, Danza, doesn’t hold back on asking the questions that have been on our minds. He presses Bonds over whether he witnessed Diddy’s abuse. Then, he dives into the wild allegations regarding male escorts that the world uncovered in Cassie’s lawsuits.

Danza also asks if Cassie might be exaggerating about whether Diddy has some “fruitiness in him.” Bonds neither confirms nor denies it. “I have seen things that will make you question things,” Bonds says.

Elsewhere in the episode, he also claims Diddy never reciprocated the same level of loyalty that he displayed towards the mogul. Despite spending holidays together and forming a tight relationship, Roger recalled a time when Diddy downright doubted his ability to make a similar income without him. “Knowin’ Puff, he’s emotionless,” he said in the episode. Additionally, he recalls Diddy telling him, “All I care about is my bitches. I don’t know how to be your friend.”

Following the string of lawsuits filed against him, Diddy vehemently denied any wrongdoing. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation, and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday,” Diddy said in a statement. “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth.”

The full episode of The Danza Project’s episode with Roger Bonds will go live this Friday. By the looks of the trailer, it’s going to turn heads. Bonds worked for Diddy from 2003 to 2012, so he’s undoubtedly been by Diddy’s side through plenty of highs and lows. His recent appearances in the media have indicated that he’s not holding his tongue when it comes to his former boss.Check out the trailer for Bonds’ interview on The Danza Project, which debuts on December 15th exclusively on their YouTube channel.

Diddy’s Former Bodyguard Seems To Retract Claims About His Abuse Of Cassie

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s former head of security, Roger Bonds, recently dropped some bombshell claims against him amid a whole slew of accusations and lawsuits about his alleged sexual misconduct and abuse. Specifically, Bonds claimed that he witnessed him attack multiple women– including Cassie, whose initial lawsuit is what started this wave in the public. However, things changed quite quickly when it comes to the former bodyguard’s narrative. For example, his Instagram seemed to disappear shortly after he made these remarks. Now, Bonds returned to the platform and seemingly walked back a lot of what he said initially.

“This ain’t about nothing, yo!” Diddy’s former bodyguard began his message online. “I seen Cassie and Diddy fight. Yeah, I seen them fight– just like everybody else fight. Just like I fight, just like y’all fight with y’all man and y’all fight with your girl.” Of course, this runs contrary to his initial statements, which were much more damning and took more accountability for what went down. As such, this is a pretty unclear situation and one that also has some suspicions of interference or pressure attached to it.

However, Roger Bonds isn’t the only previous member of Diddy’s inner circle to claim this long pattern of behavior. Ex-Bad Boy Records affiliate Mark Curry recently alleged to The Art Of Dialogue that the label’s mogul broke Kim Porter’s nose. “Busted her nose, man,” he remarked. “It was all insecurities. Anytime a man would go out of his way to wiretap someone’s phone or put taps in their home just to monitor their conversations, that’s a sign of insanity. So, when you see someone doing that, you can imagine everything else they do. What do you think he’s gon’ do if he found her on the phone talking to someone or feels that she’s cheating on him with somebody sleeping with his girl? What you think he’s gon’ say? ‘I caught you. I heard this.’ Nah, he gonna come in– it’s gonna be a fight.

“I think he’s very capable of doing it,” Curry continued, referring to the multiple lawsuits on the table. “It’s in his character, that’s who he is. That’s what comes with power, that’s what comes with arrogance. That’s what comes with what makes him, that’s the selfishness that makes you be like that. He’s being humbled right now. It took a long time. It takes a long time to humble an arrogant person.” For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, keep checking in with HNHH.

Diddy’s Ex-Bodyguard Disappears From IG After Claiming To Have Witnessed Alleged Assaults

November 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, Cassie came forward with a long list of allegations against Diddy. She accused him of rape, physical and emotional abuse, and more. Shortly after she filed her complaint, they reached a settlement, though Diddy insists it wasn’t an admission of guilt. Regardless, the horrific allegations have left a lasting impression on fans. This has only been compounded as others continue to come out with their own accounts of Diddy’s allegedly abusive behavior.

This week, for example, a former bodyguard of Diddy’s named Roger Bonds shared his experience working for the mogul. He alleged that he witnessed Diddy physically assault Cassie on various occasions. Bonds further accused Diddy of abusing other women in front of him. “I was sick of having to cover up everything that you did,” he’s heard saying in a clip. “I was sick.”

Now, only days after Bonds spoke out about what he claims to have seen, his Instagram page has been deleted. While it’s unclear why his page was deleted, social media users are speculating. It’s rumored that Diddy could have threatened Bonds, or simply paid him off. Others speculate that Bonds just decided to delete his page due to the traction his claims have gotten in recent days.

Cassie mentioned Bonds by name in her suit, recalling an instance when he stepped in to try to stop Diddy from allegedly assaulting her. “Roger Bonds, tried to stop the beating, but was unable to deescalate the situation,” it read. “When the car arrived at Mr. Combs’ residence, Ms. Ventura attempted to run away, but Mr. Combs followed her and proceeded to again kick her in the face. Ms. Ventura was bleeding profusely, and was ushered into Mr. Combs’ home, where she began to throw up from the violent assault.” What do you think of Diddy’s former bodyguard vanishing from Instagram after accusing the Bad Boy Records founder of assaulting people in front of him?

While Cassie agreed on a settlement within 24 hours of filing the lawsuit, two other accusers have come forward with lawsuits against Diddy. A spokesperson denied both allegations in a statement: “These are fabricated claims falsely alleging misconduct from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute. This is nothing but a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for anonymous accusers who lie without conscience or consequence for financial benefit.” The lawsuits all arrived just before New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which extends the statute of limitations, expired last Thursday.
