Sean “Diddy” Combs, a prominent figure in the music industry since the 1990s, is now facing serious criminal allegations that have thrust him into the national spotlight for troubling reasons. A grand jury has indicted the hip-hop mogul on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking,

and transportation for prostitution, among others, suggesting his involvement in a complex criminal enterprise since 2008. Adding to the controversy, former bodyguard Gene Deal recently claimed in an interview that Diddy recorded powerful politicians at notorious parties, dubbed “Freak Offs,” which are now reportedly under federal investigation. Deal indicated that these allegations have drawn scrutiny not only on Diddy but also on New York City political figures, stating, “the feds are going after all these politicians… anybody that participated in any criminal behavior at his freak offs, they gonna pursue.”
