Gene Deal Accuses Diddy of Orchestrating the Sale of The Notorious B.I.G.’s Publishing Rights

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing fresh allegations from his former bodyguard, Gene Deal, who claims the music mogul played a key role in facilitating the sale.

According to Deal, the transaction was negotiated while the late rapper’s mother, Voletta Wallace, was in hospice care, and the deal does not benefit Biggie’s children.

In an interview with The Art of Dialogue, Deal alleged that Diddy worked with Wayne Barrow and Mark Pitts to secure the sale of Biggie’s music catalog, stating, “Knowing this lady was sick and she was in a hospice, these guys, Wayne Barrow and Mark Pitts, went on and started working out deals to allegedly sell Big’s publishing, his marketing, all his rights to everything.”

Deal further emphasized that the proceeds from the sale, rumored to be worth over $150 million, were not intended for Wallace’s family.

“They are working out a deal for them because it ain’t for Ms. Wallace. It ain’t for Big’s kids,” he said.

“The executives of that are Wayne Barrow and Mark Pitts. Those are the dudes that Puff put in play.”According to Deal, neither Biggie’s children, CJ and Tatiana, nor his widow, singer Faith Evans, have been included in discussions regarding the sale.

“The:y didn’t say nothing about Big’s kids, CJ, Tatiana, or they didn’t say nothing about Faith. But they about to get paid,” he stated.

Additionally, Deal claimed that Voletta Wallace never trusted Diddy and went out of her way to avoid him at public events.

“She knew he might have had something to do with her son’s death,” he alleged.

X“And now she’s taking it to her grave. It’s sad. And these dudes are about to get paid from that, from sticking around.

”Neither Diddy, Barrow, nor Pitts have publicly responded to Deal’s allegations.
