How Janice Combs Protected Her Son Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs According to Source
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs did very little to disappoint his mom, Janice Combs, until perhaps his most recent controversies. Still, Janice hasn’t been shy about advocating for her son as he defends himself from the mountain of accusations leveled against him. According to one source, she’s even helped protect Diddy and his assets just in case the music mogul’s finances and businesses were in jeopardy. As they are now.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ mom helped protect his assets
After Diddy’s first lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend Cassie, he’s more financially vulnerable now than he was at any point in his career. With the Bad Boys CEO currently in prison, many victims or opportunists have come out to seek any compensation they can while Diddy’s at his weakest. But one defendant took his grievances with Diddy a bit further by, not only coming after Diddy, but Diddy’s mom as well. The Daily Mail reported that Diddy’s ex-associate, Deon “D1” Best, was suing Janice for her alleged role in costing Best Millions.
“All of my publishing rights went to Janice Combs,” Best said. “I’m here to talk about a different section of his allegations… and what I feel to believe involves his mother, Janice Combs. The [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act] is about holding people accountable for systematic action.”
But Diddy’s former associate, Gene Deal, felt it was a mistake to say that Janice helped her son steal anything. Deal, who’s been giving his own insight into the Diddy situation lately, explained what he thought Janice’s true involvement in the case was.
“All she did was allow him to put certain things in her name to protect,” Deal told the Art of Dialogue. “If, at any time, because of some of the things that he was doing, and the nature of what he was doing that he knew he was doing to people, if he ever sued, he’d probably be safe having money and things in her name.”
Based on what he’d seen and heard, however, Deal didn’t think Janice had any idea what her son was doing with his money. Which has plummeted significantly due to his scandals.
“I don’t think she was in the business to know exactly where the money’s going, who’s coming in, who she’s taking it from. He was just doing it, and had the authority, to put it in her name,” he added.
Gene Deal believed Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs got his party habits from his mother
Deal didn’t think Janice knew anything about Diddy’s finances. However, he felt she was very much aware of his infamous freak-offs, and may have played a part in inspiring them because of her old lifestyle. Deal mentioned that Diddy’s mom threw her parties back when the music mogul was a youth.
“The apple don’t fall far from the tree, man,” Deal said in a separate interview with The Art of Dialogue. “You got to realize that. He didn’t get all this from his daddy, because he didn’t know his daddy. Even though they try to say that his daddy was a big time drug dealer and the whole nine yards. You got to realize that his mother had a modeling agency, and it was alleged that it was also, ladies of the night, a prostitution ring, too. Or these ladies were doing things other than modeling. So, the apple don’t fall from the tree.”
Deal even believed that, from what he’d seen of Diddy and Janice in public, that their relationship seemed different from when he knew them. Recently, other stories have come out that resembled his own assumptions on Diddy’s upbringing. A documentary about Diddy called Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy is set to explore the music mogul’s life a little deeper. According to Rolling Stone, snippets of the documentary, which will debut on January 14, tease Diddy’s former childhood friend speaking about the producer’s home life. Tim Patterson’s recollection of Diddy’s formative years mirrored Deal’s theories.
“On the weekend, [Combs] partied in the house, and we did that a lot,” Patterson said. “He was around all types of alcohol; he was around reefer smoke. Drug addicts around, lesbians around, homosexuals, he was around pimps, pushers. That was just who was in our house. People that attended the parties were from Harlem, from the streets. It wouldn’t be a thing to mistakenly walk into one of the bedrooms and you got a couple in there, butt naked.”
