Sean "Diddy" Combs' former confidant Gene Deal spoke to The Art of Dialogue and claimed that the rap mogul's arrest might be sooner than anyone expects.

"The feds are so deep and involved in this that Diddy just might be called up on that Tupac s***," Deal said. "Once they go through the money trail and find out why certain people were given certain positions, it's going to be a problem because they're going to look at all that. Anything they can bring up, they're going to bring it up."

Per Deal, Diddy allegedly gave Eric Von Zip, an associate of Blackground Records, a whopping million-dollar check as payment for a hit on Tupac.

"When Zip came up with the check for a million dollars, he said it was from Blackground Records and he said that's who he got that money from. So now, if that's true, then the feds would have to go in and do a money trace on where did that check come from," Deal claimed, implying the payment came from Bad Boy and Blackground Records.

Keefe D, who was charged with the murder of the late Tupac, previously claimed that Diddy hired him to take down the "All Eyez On Me" rapper.

Keefe claimed in an interview, as quoted by The Sun, that he met Diddy through Zip, even alleging that he provided the gun for the shooting. "Zip, one of these players that's out of New York out of Harlem, that's actually how we met Puff, that's how we got connected with Puff is through his drug lord," he revealed.

AllHipHop reported that Zip had allegedly kept the money for himself, so when Keefe was indicted, he infamously cried out: "Show some love, brother love." Zip passed away in 2012 due to cancer.

Deal also commented on the brutal video that CNN had released in connection to Diddy's assault on his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

"That's why that tape of Cassie was released," Deal said about the video. "So, anybody who was willing to try to help him, anybody who was trying to say that he ain't capable of doing this, he ain't capable of doing that, they got it right there on videotape."

As of this writing, Diddy is facing multiple lawsuits, alleging him of sexual assault, harassment, and rape.
