For decades, the music industry has operated under a thick veil of secrecy, a world where power, money, and influence create their own set of rules. The stories of what happens behind closed studio doors and at exclusive, drug-fueled afterparties have long been the stuff of legend and whispered rumor. But now, as the empire of Sean “Diddy” Combs crumbles under the weight of a federal sex trafficking investigation, the whispers are becoming a roar. In a bombshell interview on The Lionel B Show, industry veteran and former Roc-A-Fella insider “Choke No Joke” has pulled back the curtain, not just on Diddy, but on the entire sick, coercive system he alleges is designed to break down and control aspiring artists.

Choke’s most explosive claim is a personal one, a story that is both chilling and deeply unsettling. He recounts an evening at an afterparty where he found himself the target of Diddy’s unwanted advances. According to Choke, Diddy, flanked by his entourage of “booty goons,” cornered him and began to “hit on him.” It was a moment that crystallized the predatory power dynamics at play, a world where Diddy, the mogul, allegedly assumes that everyone, regardless of their orientation, is available for his taking. Choke’s refusal to play along, he claims, was a cardinal sin in an industry where submission is often the price of admission.

This personal anecdote serves as a gateway to a much larger, more systemic accusation. Choke alleges that the entertainment world is controlled by a secret club of powerful bisexual and homosexual executives who use their positions to manipulate and discriminate against heterosexuals. He claims his own career was systematically sabotaged because he refused to participate in what he calls “zesty activities.” This isn’t just about casting couches; it’s about a pervasive culture of sexual coercion where ambitious young men are allegedly forced to compromise their identities to get ahead. He even points to the carefully curated public images of figures like Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, suggesting their personas may be “lavender marriages,” convenient fronts that hide a more complex reality. It’s a world, Choke argues, where if you don’t play the game, you get blackballed.

The interview is a sprawling, multi-hour exposé that touches on nearly every major player and controversy that has orbited Diddy for the last 30 years. Choke systematically dismantles the credibility of Gene Deal, Diddy’s former bodyguard who has recently positioned himself as a key truth-teller in the Diddy saga. Choke paints Deal not as a credible witness, but as a chronic liar, a police informant, and a criminal in his own right. He highlights the glaring contradictions in Deal’s stories, questioning how a man who claims to have a badge and worked as security could also claim to have jumped Diddy into a gang and funded Bad Boy Records with drug money. Choke alleges that people in Harlem knew Deal as a drug dealer and that his appearance in the documentary “Murder Rap” proves he was feeding information to the police.

This accusation is particularly damning as it connects Deal directly to the murder of Tupac Shakur. Choke claims that Deal was not a passive observer but an active participant in the aftermath, allegedly receiving calls from the perpetrators after the shooting and even being shown a check that was payment for taking Tupac’s life. He also casts doubt on the recent testimony of Keefe D, suggesting that Keefe is now changing his story about Diddy’s involvement to save himself from a murder conviction. Through Choke’s lens, the men who have built their platforms on exposing Diddy are just as compromised and complicit as the man they seek to condemn.

The interview also delves into the many women who have been casualties in Diddy’s world. Choke revisits the chilling allegations made by Gene Deal himself about how women were incapacitated at industry parties, with roofies being slipped into their orange juice and cranberry juice. He also lends significant credibility to the story of Adria English, one of Diddy’s accusers, stating he believes her account is at least 75% true.

Perhaps most intriguingly, Choke wades into the mystery surrounding the alleged posthumous book by Kim Porter, “The Lost Words.” Initially skeptical, he changed his mind after Al B. Sure!, the father of Porter’s eldest son, co-signed aspects of the book. Choke posits a fascinating and sinister theory: that the book was co-written by Kimora Lee Simmons. He argues that the intimate, detailed stories could only have come from someone in the innermost circle, and he suspects that Kimora, for her own reasons, may want to see Diddy “gone.”

Choke’s journey through the dark corridors of the music industry doesn’t stop with Diddy. He also takes aim at his former bosses at Roc-A-Fella Records, Dame Dash and Jay-Z. He describes leaving the label after Dame Dash allegedly refused to give him proper credit for his creative work. He paints Dame as a self-hating, financially reckless individual whose extravagant spending ultimately led to his downfall. He reserves a special venom for Jay-Z, accusing him and Roc Nation of actively blackballing the artist Young Chris. The crime? A photo surfaced of Chris with Rihanna, who was allegedly Jay-Z’s “boo thing” at the time. For Choke, this is a prime example of how the industry’s elite jealously guard their power, snuffing out the careers of anyone who gets too close to their throne.

This explosive interview is more than just a collection of salacious anecdotes; it is a raw, unfiltered indictment of an entire system. It is the testimony of a man who saw how the sausage was made and was disgusted by what he found. From Diddy’s alleged predatory behavior to a secret cabal of executives demanding sexual favors, from the lies of supposed truth-tellers to the petty jealousies that can destroy a career, Choke No Joke has laid bare the rot at the core of the entertainment world. As the federal case against Diddy proceeds, interviews like this serve as a crucial, albeit disturbing, reminder that the truth is often far uglier and more complicated than the polished image projected to the world. It’s a world built on secrets, and for the first time, those secrets are being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the light.
