Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing shocking new allegations from his former bodyguard, Gene Deal, who claims the music mogul had a romantic relationship with Kirk Burrowes, the former president of Bad Boy Records.
During a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, Deal shared details about his time working for Diddy, stating that he often accompanied the hip-hop icon to Burrowes’ apartment for what he described as “money drops.” He recalled that Diddy would frequently stay overnight, which he found strange at the time.
Shocking Allegations About Diddy’s Private Life
Deal, who worked closely with Diddy during his rise in the music industry, alleged that the Bad Boy Records founder and Burrowes were more than just business associates. He claimed that others in the company had also seen the two men in compromising situations.
His statements have resurfaced amid a turbulent period for Diddy, who is currently facing multiple lawsuits, including one filed by Burrowes himself in February 2025. The lawsuit accuses Diddy of repeated sexual harassment, physical aggression, and coercion into “degrading sexual acts.”
According to Burrowes’ legal team, Combs allegedly used intimidation tactics, including “physical violence, blackmail, career sabotage, and financial extortion” to pressure him into giving up his 25% stake in Bad Boy Entertainment.
Diddy’s Legal Troubles Continue
Burrowes’ recent lawsuit is not the first time he has taken legal action against Diddy. In 2003, he made similar allegations about an incident from 1996, though that case was ultimately dismissed.
Since November 2023, more than 50 allegations have been filed against Diddy, many involving claims of sexual misconduct, abuse, and financial manipulation. His legal team has strongly denied all accusations, calling Burrowes’ lawsuit “frivolous” and an attempt to exploit the legal system.
A spokesperson for Diddy stated that Burrowes has a long history of making false claims, emphasizing that courts have repeatedly dismissed his allegations over the past three decades.
As these latest allegations continue to make headlines, Diddy has yet to publicly respond to Deal’s claims about his alleged relationship with Burrowes. The growing number of lawsuits against the hip-hop mogul has put his reputation and career under intense scrutiny, raising questions about what other secrets could emerge.
