Former Diddy bodyguard Gene Deal has claimed the music mogul offered a producer a Grammy Award in exchange for s3x.
The allegation has drawn attention to a 2024 lawsuit in which producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones made a similar claim.
Nigerians have flooded social media with reactions, with some dragging Burna Boy and making references to other celebrities.
Former bodyguard of American music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Gene Deal, has made a shocking claim about an alleged offer involving a Grammy Award and s3x. His comments have brought renewed attention to allegations contained in a lawsuit filed by music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones in February 2024.
The claim has also triggered different reactions among Nigerians on social media, with some users making references to other music stars
What Gene Deal said about Diddy’s alleged offer
In a statement that has since attracted attention online, Deal claimed that Diddy once promised someone a Grammy Award if the person agreed to have s3x with him.
Deal expressed surprise at the alleged offer, particularly because of the importance attached to winning a Grammy in the music industry.
He said:
“Diddy promised someone a Grammy Award if he lets him fvck him.”
The allegation has drawn comparisons with claims made by Jones, who worked with Combs on his 2023 album.
How Rodney Jones’ lawsuit connects to the allegatio
In February 2024, Jones filed a lawsuit against Combs, alleging that the music executive offered him the Producer of the Year award if he agreed to have s3x with another producer.
Jones reportedly worked on Combs’ 2023 album for 13 months and produced nine tracks. However, he claimed he received only $29,000 for his work and later faced retaliation.
The producer also made sexual assault allegations against Combs in the lawsuit. Parts of the legal case have continued despite denials from Combs’ legal team.
Deal’s latest comments have therefore brought fresh attention to the allegations and the controversy surrounding the music executive.
