Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has spent years in the spotlight, whether it’s for his chart-topping hits, his business empire, or his notorious party lifestyle. But lately, the conversation has shifted to something more controversial, and it’s not just about his music.
His ex-bodyguard, Gene Deal, has thrown a new bolt of intrigue into this sizzling soup by insinuating that not only was the rapper, 55, involved in alleged freak-off parties, but his mother, Janice Combs, might have also had a backstage pass.
Meanwhile, as her son faces a string of legal battles, including serious federal charges, Janice Combs has been nothing short of a fierce advocate for Diddy. Last month, she released a statement calling these s*x trafficking charges against Diddy a “public lynching”.
Well, it seems, P Diddy’s fans are like a cat on a hot tin roof—worn out and weary of these sensational tales.
Diddy, His Mom, & the ‘Freak-Off’ Rumors: What’s Really Going On?
In a recent interview on The Art of Dialogue YouTube channel, Gene Deal dropped some bombshells; he didn’t just drag Sean Combs into the mix—he threw Diddy’s mom, Janice Combs, into the conversation too.
“I don’t want to speak about that man’s mama like that, bro”, Deal said, before adding:
Was his mama a freak? I don’t know that about her, but if she was at Diddy’s freak off at 70 years old, she was just like the rest of them… the freaks come out at night.
His blunt approach, paired with some cheeky commentary about Janice Combs’ dating preferences, left fans questioning: just how deep does this rabbit hole go?
According to Deal, while he doesn’t believe Janice Combs was directly involved in these alleged explicit activities, she was definitely in the loop when it came to the high-energy, party-centric lifestyle.
I think that she liked to party, and she partied with young people. She’s always been like that.
Deal also touched on the notion of Janice Combs being a “cougar”—a woman who dates younger men. Moreover, he even implied that she wasn’t entirely unaware of what was going on with Diddy’s business dealings. Well, judging by the comments, people seem to be fed up with the constant stream of claims from Diddy’s former bodyguard—it’s like they’ve reached their breaking point.
Let’s read a few comments:
Mr. Gene Deal = seen nothing but know everything. -@bigolbabyhuey
You can’t make nothing dust moist took me out. -@polkiedotts7465
My favorite story from deal is when Diddy had a pastor come meet with him right before the verdict of the club shooting at a park near the courthouse. -@heywella
That’s not a freak, that’s a Cougar. LMFAO. -@alanp9288
‘You can’t make nothing dust moist’, Gene is wild. -@gilfordmccormack8140
All of this, of course, is happening against the backdrop of some very serious legal battles for Diddy. In September 2024, the rapper was arrested on charges of s*x trafficking, racketeering, and other criminal activities, leading many to speculate about the role his family, including his mother, might have played in these operations.
Diddy’s Mom Speaks Out: ‘Not the Monster’ They Paint Him To Be
Add to that a string of lawsuits and a controversial past, and it’s safe to say things aren’t looking good for Diddy. But as the legal battles continue, his mother, Janice Combs, has stepped into the spotlight to defend her son—offering a raw and emotional rebuttal to the flood of media coverage. She called it a “public lynching” and said it was “agonizing” to see the world laughing at her son while he’s fighting for his life.
Last month, she made it clear that while her son isn’t perfect, he’s certainly not the monster the media has made him out to be (via PEOPLE):
My son may not have been entirely truthful about certain things, such as denying he has ever gotten violent with an ex-girlfriend when the hotel’s surveillance showed otherwise.
The most powerful part of Janice Combs’ statement is her plea for fairness:
Sometimes, the truth and a lie become so closely intertwined that it becomes terrifying to admit one part of the story, especially when that truth is outside the norm or is too complicated to be believed.
Her most heart-wrenching comments focused on the emotional toll of watching her son’s life fall apart in front of millions. “Watching the world make jokes and laugh at my son’s life crumbling before our eyes is something I can never forget,” she shared.
Janice Combs’ emotional plea reveals the painful toll public scrutiny can take on a family. While the charges are serious and need to be addressed, they also don’t define the full scope of Diddy’s life or the complexities of his relationships, especially with his mother. As she said:
My son is not the monster they have painted him to be.
For now, all we can do is wait for the truth to unfold. Whether Diddy is guilty or innocent, he deserves a chance to defend himself, according to his mother. The court of public opinion may have already made its judgment, but the only one that truly matters is the one in the courtroom.
