NEW: Diddy’s Bodyguard Claims He Kept ‘Tapes’ Of Powerful Politicians At Infamous Parties
Sean “Diddy” Combs, a heavyweight in the music industry since the 1990s, is facing serious criminal allegations that have thrust him into the national spotlight for reasons far removed from his musical success. A recent grand jury indictment charged the hip-hop mogul with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, and coercion, as well as transportation for purposes of prostitution. The allegations suggest that Combs, through a complex criminal enterprise, was involved in these activities since 2008, alongside other charges like kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
Combs’ former bodyguard, Gene Deal, recently made eye-popping claims during an interview with ‘The Art of Dialogue.’ Deal revealed that Diddy allegedly recorded powerful politicians attending infamous parties, referred to as “Freak Offs.” The tapes are now reportedly a focus of federal investigations. Deal’s claims come amid ongoing investigations that began following a civil lawsuit filed by Cassie, Combs’ ex-girlfriend.
In the interview, Deal hinted at the involvement of political figures and officials in New York City. According to him, this led to the Southern District of New York taking charge of the investigation. Deal speculated that the relationship between Diddy and some politicians might have drawn unwanted attention from federal authorities. “It’s bigger than Diddy, bro,” Deal said. “Cause you know who else they was doing investigation on during that whole time period? It was the mayor and the politicians in New York City.”
The bombshell allegations suggest that the political figures, some of whom allegedly attended Diddy’s parties, are also under federal scrutiny. Deal went as far as saying, “the feds is going after all these politicians in New York City… anybody that participated in any criminal behavior at his freak offs, they gonna pursue.”

Deal further speculated on the nature of Diddy’s parties, claiming they often involved sex trafficking, forced labor, and even blackmail. He alleged that Diddy used tapes from these parties to control and manipulate those in attendance. He also noted that the allegations could hinge on how victims and witnesses testify, and whether Diddy’s legal team can successfully discredit those claims.
The Southern District of New York’s investigation into Combs and his alleged criminal enterprise is still in its early stages. If the claims of blackmail, sex trafficking, and political involvement prove accurate, this could become one of the most high-profile cases in recent history. Combs, 54, was arrested at the Park Hyatt Hotel on West 57th Street in Manhattan last Tuesday, where he had been living for several weeks. The arrest, executed by federal agents on Monday evening, was based on this sealed indictment from the Southern District of New York, which was then unsealed the following day.
The indictment portrays Combs as the leader of a years-long criminal scheme that threatened and abused women, coercing them into participating in drug-fueled orgies with male prostitutes. The indictment also accuses him of drawing women into his circle under the guise of romantic relationships, only to allegedly use force, threats, and coercion to compel them into prolonged sexual activities with male sex workers. Following these events, often referred to as “Freak Offs,” it is claimed that Combs and the participants would receive IV fluids to recuperate from the physical toll and substance use involved.
