250 Cameras Seized From Diddy’s Mansions; Princes, Preachers May Be Implicated In Recordings: Mark Curry

Federal agents allegedly may have confiscated "250 cameras" and potentially compromising footage of famous and powerful people who attended Sean "Diddy" Combs' parties from the hip-hop mogul's Los Angeles and Miami homes.

Rapper Mark Curry and Combs' former bodyguard Gene Deal made the claims in the recently released documentary, "TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy."

Curry -- who wrote about working for Combs in the 2009 memoir, "Dancing With The Devil" -- theorized that celebrities have not spoken out against the billionaire Bad Boy Records founder due to the alleged hidden cameras in Combs' properties and recordings they may have captured.

"If they have 250 cameras from his home, they have a whole bunch of images or footage of things that were going on in his house," Curry said in the documentary. "A lot of people might be running from that tape."

The former Bad Boy Records artist claimed that Combs had tons of connections beyond the music industry, and some of them could get dragged into the federal investigation.

"You name it, he's connected to them. If we start unraveling the thread of Diddy's networks, you're gonna find a lot of people -- and like Jeffrey Epstein, some of them might be implicated," Curry suggested.

Deal, who previously worked as a bodyguard for Combs, claimed that in addition to music artists and Hollywood stars, Combs had also had politicians, princes and preachers at some of his house parties, though he did not name any names.

"I don't think it's only celebrities that are gonna be shook. He had politicians in there; he had princes in there; he also had a couple of preachers in there," Deal claimed.

Death Row Records founder Suge Knight had a similar take when asked about the silence in the industry over Combs.

Describing the silence as "signs of guilt," the former music executive, who was interviewed for the documentary from the California prison where he continues to serve his 28-year sentence, alleged: "I don't think one person around who was hanging with Puffy, who was not acting like Puffy," as quoted by Fox News Digital.

"Birds of a feather flock together," he added. "What you think? They all going to stick together to keep everything swept under that rug, 'cause they lift that rug up, you're going to find a whole bunch of s**t that you don't want to see."

Combs' L.A. and Miami homes were raided by agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) on March 25 as part of an ongoing investigation.

While HSI has not shared any additional details about the probe or named Combs as its target, multiple outlets, including CNN and the Associated Press, reported that the searches were connected to an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

Since November 2023, Combs has been slapped with five lawsuits, at least two of which included allegations of sex trafficking.

In December last year, Combs released a statement denying all allegations that had been made against him by that time and claiming that his accusers were "looking for a quick payday."

The latest lawsuit against him was filed in February by a former employee, music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones, who alleged that Combs repeatedly sexually assaulted and harassed him.

Documents filed by Jones -- who lived with the record executive while working on his latest album "The Love Album: Off the Grid" -- last month also alleged that Combs "had hidden cameras in every room of his home."

According to the lawsuit, Combs allegedly had "recordings of several celebrities, artists, music label executives and athletes engaging in illegal activity," such as sexual activity with minors and prostitutes and drug use.

"Mr. Combs possesses compromising footage of every person who has attended his freak-off parties and his house parties," the documents alleged.

The filing also claimed that Combs allegedly operated a "sex trafficking venture."

In a statement to NBC News in February, Combs' attorney Shawn Holley vehemently denied Jones' allegations, calling them "pure fiction."

Another attorney for Combs, Aaron Dyer, also criticized the raids on the rapper's homes, describing them as "gross overuse of military-level force" and the investigation as "a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits."
