Gene Deal disclosed this during a recent appearance on “The Art of Dialogue” podcast, claiming that compromising videos of politicians were filmed during Combs’ “freak-offs.” Such “freak-offs” involved victims being forced to engage in sex acts while the rap mogul himself recorded and masturbated to them.
“You know who else they were doing an investigation on during that whole time period? It was the mayor and the politicians in New York City,” said the former bodyguard. “They turned around, gave [Combs] the key to the city. All the mayor’s people that he brought in here in NYC are resigning. They all resigned.”
“People are not going to tie this together, but if you look at it, you have to say, because of Mayor Adams and his relationship with Diddy, it brought on the SDNY to start investigating Diddy on civil lawsuits that were filed against him because the feds are going after all these politicians in NYC,” he added.

Deal remarked in response to the question of whether any celebrities were captured on the rumored “freak-off” tapes: “[Combs] hosted celebrity parties, so what do you think? I think they’re not telling the whole truth.”
Lil Rod’s suit against Diddy backs up Deal’s claims
This was not the first time Deal made this claim, as he previously mentioned this during an earlier appearance on the same podcast in April. Deal’s appearance on the podcast followed a March 25 raid by agents of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) into Combs’ residences in Florida and California. Federal law enforcement seized computers, cameras and other electronic devices from the properties.
“I don’t think it’s only celebrities [that are going to] be shook,” Deal said at the time. “He had politicians in there, he had princes in there, he also had a couple of preachers in there. Can you imagine? He had every room bugged.”
The former bodyguard was also asked why the rap mogul’s media department had stayed silent on the allegations against him. “Either they took part in some of the stuff that happened, or they’re scared that it may mess up their brand,” he answered.
A lawsuit filed last November by musician and producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones supported Deal’s claims. Aside from alleging that Combs sexually abused him, Jones also disclosed that the founder of Bad Boy Records “had a habit of recording his guests.”
“According to Jones’ complaint, Diddy allegedly would hide cameras around his properties and was capturing the rich and famous engaging in private trysts, or perhaps illegal behavior, during his alleged ‘freak-off’ parties,” the Hollywood Reporter reported.
“Jones now claims to have his own recordings from his capacity as videographer of Diddy and his team ‘engaging in serious illegal activity.’ This allegedly includes footage that ‘Combs provided laced alcoholic beverages to minors and sex workers at his homes,’ the suit claims.”
Meanwhile, Combs was remanded to the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn after pleading not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. His bail petition was twice denied, and he was placed on suicide watch owing to being “in shock” after his arrest.
