Diddy's former bodyguard has revealed the music mogul kept tapes of politicians taking part in his infamous 'freak off' sessions and claimed his arrest is also tied to an alleged corruption

Diddy's former bodyguard has revealed the music mogul kept tapes of politicians taking part in his infamous 'freak off' sessions and claimed his arrest is also tied to an alleged corruption scandal currently gripping New York City politics. 

Gene Deal, a former insider who protected Diddy through the 1990s, told The Art of Dialogue podcast that the producer's indictment could expose high-profile officials and celebrities in the Big Apple. 

This is all bigger than Diddy,' he said, without naming who the alleged tapes are of.

 Diddy was indicted in New York and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, as he now faces the prospect of decades behind bars. 

The charges against Diddy came six months after his mansions in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal agents, where officers said they found over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant allegedly used in the 'freak off' sessions.

The 'freak offs' would see Diddy ply women with drugs before coercing them into marathon sexual performances with male prostitutes, according to prosecutors. 

 Speculation has fallen on alleged 'tapes' of these sessions, however, prosecutors have not commented on them being filmed. 

 Asked if there are any celebrities on alleged 'freak off' tapes, Deal responded: '(Diddy) gave celebrity parties, so what do you think?' 

 Deal said that while the raids specifically targeted Diddy's properties, the arrests were part of something that was 'bigger than Diddy.'  

 He noted that despite allegations of criminal wrongdoing in lawsuits, including one brought by Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, prosecutors in California did not bring charges. 

Instead, the charges were brought in New York, which Deal said he believes is linked to a slate of resignations and allegations of corruption among Big Apple officials.

' People aren't going to tie this together.' 

The bodyguard implied that Diddy himself was victimized early in his career by other powerful music industry figures, and said he blames the ones who 'trained him and taught him the music business' for Diddy's alleged crimes. 

 Puff wasn't born a monster, he was made into a monster,' he said.  

 'He was made into a monster because of what happened to him, and because of the things he had to do.

'To keep it frank, he was doing to other people what was done to him... that's a learned behaviour.' 

He claimed: 'They was heavy into the drugs, they was heavy into beating women, and doing things at that crazy stage that's going to make him think he can get away with the same things that they was getting away with back then.' 

 'I'm not going to say allegedly because I saw that for my own self,' he added. 

Deal said Diddy's dramatic, high-profile arrest was 'karma' for a lot of the stuff that he did, including one allegation that he led rapper Biggie Smalls 'to his death.' 

 ' His karma was bound to catch up with him,' he continued. 

 'So all the things that are going on right now, the learned behaviour that he got from these people who was not living spiritually correct... he went and transferred that and did that to people.' 

 Deal concluded that Diddy's arrest would go down as 'one of the greatest tragedies' in hip-hop history, alongside the infamous deaths of Tupac and Biggie Smalls. 

'He brought it on himself,' Deal said. 

'He knew that he was wrong, and he knew that he learned something that wasn't right... he knew that if something is wrong you get help, and he didn't choose none of that.'
