Sean "Diddy" Combs' former bodyguard Gene Deal recently opened up about details surrounding the rapper, during an interview with The Art of Dialogue. Calling Combs the "shiny suit man," Deal said that the rapperkke everything "glistening." Further in the conversation, he called Combs a "weirdo." In the interview that was dropped on YouTube on Sunday, Deal stated:

"The shiny suit man, you know, from the 90s, he liked everything shiny. Didn’t that n*gga come out with shiny suits with Mase? Huh? Didn’t they tell you that everything… had to be shiny? He liked it glistening. Dude is a weirdo."

For the unversed, Diddy's "Shiny Suit" era continued during the period from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. According to AllHipHop, this period was marked by metallic outfits, flashy music videos, as well as exaggerated and over-the-top celebrations.

An article by Stretto Buster reported that costume designer June Ambrose claimed that she had the initial idea of designing the outfits made of "shiny leather" for rappers like Combs and Ma$e.

The comments by Gene Deal came just after Cassie Ventura testified about Diddy's alleged fascination with baby oils. Cassie claimed that they would often use about ten bottles of those during "freak-offs." She added that the oil would at times have to be heated to suit the rapper's liking and reapplied every five minutes.


"That's some nasty perverted sh*t" - said Gene Deal about Diddy during his latest interview

Diddy's former bodyguard did not just claim that the rapper liked glossy things, but he also bashed his former employer. Gene Deal reacted to the allegations made by Cassie Ventura during her testimony in the ongoing criminal trial. During the interview, Gene said:

"That's some nasty, perverted s**t. To me, that's demonic... How high do you get that you want another man's juices rubbed on you? After they ejaculated on your girl. How high do you get for this s**t, bruh?"

The ex-bodyguard further pointed out that Cassie wasn't apparently into these "freak-offs" or similar arrangements prior to her association with the rapper. According to him, this was "disturbing" that Combs "brainwashed" her so much that she participated in these only to keep the rapper happy.

Gene further continued that as of now, no ex-boyfriend of Cassie had come out and claimed that she had performed something similar before. Last year, Gene had made some remarks about the alleged "freak-off" parties that Combs organized.

In a November interview with The Art of Dialogue, he wondered if Janice Combs was also somehow involved in the infamous parties. He further claimed that Janice was known for often being linked with younger boys.

Diddy has been charged with racketeering, s*x trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison. The rapper has, however, denied the accusations made against him. Apart from the federal charges, a number of lawsuits have been piled up against Combs.

Many of his accusers have claimed that he had s*xually assaulted and drugged them on different occasions. As of now, his trial surrounding the federal charges is ongoing and could continue for about eight weeks.
