Diddy’s former bodyguard, Gene Deal, recently opened up about controversial claims involving his former boss, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and rapper Ja Rule. In early 2024, during an interview with *The Art of Dialogue* podcast, Deal shared surprising details that have sparked widespread discussion online. Deal, who worked closely with Diddy at Bad Boy Entertainment, suggested that Diddy had secret relationships with men, including Ja Rule, spanning back nearly three decades.

Deal recalled a specific incident in a hotel room involving Ja Rule and two women, which he claims Diddy arranged to facilitate interactions with men. According to Deal, Diddy allegedly had a pattern of using women to lure men and spike drinks to gain control, a strategy that he says was successfully employed on multiple occasions. Deal also suggested that Diddy used such tactics to control individuals, claiming there were instances when these interactions were recorded, giving him leverage over people, including Ja Rule.

Deal also brought up other unsettling allegations, including Diddy’s alleged role in the death of rapper The Notorious B.I.G. He claimed that Biggie’s death was not a drive-by shooting, as often portrayed, but rather a premeditated act, suggesting that Diddy might have known about it in advance due to conflicts between them at the time.

Other stories from Deal paint Diddy as a powerful figure who allegedly manipulated people in both his personal and professional life, including business associates and romantic partners. He referenced Kim Porter, Diddy’s former partner who passed away in 2018, hinting at suspicious circumstances around her death, though these claims have not been proven.

Gene Deal’s account also connects Diddy to political figures, with allegations of influence and corruption, further intensifying the scrutiny on Diddy’s life. The allegations come amid other serious legal cases, including a recent lawsuit filed by Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s former partner, alleging years of abuse. This case, and others that have surfaced, highlight a larger conversation about accountability and abuse of power within the entertainment industry.
