Diddy's Former Bodyguard Gene Deal Allegedly Knocked Out YouTuber Outside Courthouse
Diddy's former bodyguard Gene Deal has been a go-to source over the last year with endless stories from his time working with the Bad Boy founder. This week, he allegedly knocked out a YouTuber outside of the courthouse where the controversial mogul's trafficking trial is taking place.
The Art Of Dialogue shared a video where another content creator reported on the altercation. Allegedly, a YouTuber named 'Donat' continually insulted Deal by calling him 'Uncle Phil' and other names. Deal, as shown in the footage, warned Donat that he couldn't approach him in that way, and if he did it again, he would get knocked out. There is no footage of any punches being thrown, but the creator claimed that it took place.
They added that while no arrests were made, Deal was asked not to come to the courthouse for a few days. Donat claimed that he wasn't knocked out, but rather that Deal simply attempted to steal his gold chain. Check out the report and additional footage below.
Diddy's trafficking trial has featured testimonies from his ex-girlfriend Cassie, former artist Dawn Richard, Cassie's ex Kid Cudi, multiple sex workers, and former assistants. The testimonies have either highlighted his long abuse of Cassie or their experiences in his 'freak-offs.' One of his assistants revealed that he used the nickname Frank Black to purchase hotels, a flip on The Notorious B.I.G.'s nickname Frank White. They also described the involved process in arranging the hotel rooms and how they would be asked to purchase drugs.
Kid Cudi spoke on a Molotov cocktail being thrown into his car and how Cassie gave Puff his address to do so. He described the Bad Boy co-founder as a 'villain' when they had a meeting where he asked about the damage to his car, claiming the 55-year-old artist pretended that it never happened.

Colorado walk firebombed by terrorist who shouted ‘Free Palestine' was peaceful weekly demonstration supporting Hamas hostages: ‘This was not a protest'
The Colorado demonstration firebombed by a lunatic 'terrorist' Sunday was a peaceful 'humanitarian' walk to raise support for the hostages still held captive by Hamas — and was never meant to have any political implications, members of the attacked group told The Post. 'This was a humanitarian walk. This was not a protest,' said Rachel Amaru, a member of the Boulder Run For Their Lives chapter. 'I'm distraught.' Amaru's group was holding its weekly walk for the hostages in Boulder just after 1 p.m., when a man started hurling Molotov cocktails into the crowd — injuring six victims between 67 and 88 years old. At least one was left in critical condition with serious burn wounds. 3 The suspect used a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails in the attack, officials said. The suspect — who was screaming anti-Israeli rhetoric and 'Free Palestine,' while calling the walkers child-murderers — was taken into custody at the scene, and identified by the FBI as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45. FBI Director Kash Patel quickly called the incident 'a targeted terror attack.' Boulder Run For Their Lives is a chapter of the national Run For Their Lives group, which has been holding weekly walks since Hamas' Oct. 7 2023 attack on Israel. The group encourages members to host short walks or runs, where participants peacefully carry flags of the remaining hostages' nations and in support of Israel. Boulder's chapter has been hosting walks since Nov. 2023, and Sunday's was its 81st event. 3 Run For Their Lives is a national group with local chapters aimed at supporting the remaining hostages. Run For Their Lives/Instagram 'It was a terrorist attack on a humanitarian walk that has been nothing other than peaceful since November 2023,' said Amaru, who was out of town Sunday and not present for the attack. 'The only concern we had was for the hostages. We are solely humanitarian and apolitical,' she added. 'I'm distraught. My heart has been with the hostages.' Footage from the attack showed a terrifying scene. 'They are killers! How many children you killed?' the shirtless suspect screamed while prowling about the chaos he'd caused. 3 Six people were wounded in the attack in which the suspect shouted 'Free Palestine.' Nearby, a woman lay limp on the ground as bystanders doused her with water, while others encircled the suspect and tried to talk him down. 'End Zionists!' the suspect yelled, before heavily-armed police finally arrived and pinned him to the ground. The FBI is investigating the fiery attack as an act of terrorism. 'As a result of these preliminary facts, it is clear that this is a targeted act of violence and the FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism,' FBI Denver Special Agent Mark Michalek said.

Videos show chaotic scene after man set members of Boulder's Jewish community on fire
Videos show chaotic scene after man set members of Boulder's Jewish community on fire In the video, the shirtless man appears to be saying, 'How many children have you killed?' and ''We need to end Zionists.' Show Caption Hide Caption FBI investigating 'attack at Colorado mall The FBI is investigating a report of a "targeted attack" in a Boulder, Colorado mall. Videos posted on social media appear to show the hectic moments after a man attacked members of the Jewish community in Boulder, Colorado, with a Molotov cocktail during a march calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. In one video, a shirtless man in dark sunglasses believed to be the suspect holds two glass containers filled with a clear liquid and paces back and forth on a patch of grass, shouting at people nearby. Off to the side, bystanders appear to provide first aid to a person lying on the ground. Authorities said a male suspect had been taken in custody. Police identified the suspect as Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45. The Anti-Defamation League, an organization that works to fight antisemitism and bias, said the 53-second video was shot after the June 1 attack in which multiple people were set on fire on a pedestrian mall in what the FBI described as a "targeted terrorist attack." The ADL said, based on its analysis, the shirtless man appears to be saying, 'How many children have you killed?' and ''We need to end Zionists.' The organization said the man also gestured toward what appeared to be victims of the attack and proclaimed: 'They are killers.' FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs Ben Williamson said on X that the suspect "shouted 'Free Palestine' while throwing fire bombs at a crowd of Jewish people." Six people ranging in ages 67 to 88 were injured and were transported to local hospitals. Aaron Brooks of Boulder was riding his bike when he heard someone yelling for a doctor and saw a friend running from the courthouse. Brooks said he often participates in the march, so he headed toward the courthouse to see what was going on. The attack had just happened, he said. 'I saw smoke coming from the ground, blood on the ground, smoke coming from a person,' Brooks said. 'It looked like somebody was burning and people were throwing water on her.' Brooks said he also saw a shirtless man who was shouting and holding two bottles filled with liquid. He saw another man yelling and assumed they were together, although he later learned the second man was trying to stop the suspect. 'I yelled at him, 'What are you doing? Why did you do this?'' Brooks said. 'My friends were burning and hurt, and I got emotional.' In the video analyzed by ADL, someone off camera shouts 'stay away, stay away' as the shirtless man continues to pace back and forth and shout. At one point, the man raises his hands and then lies down on the grass as a police officer, gun drawn, approaches. The officer appears to handcuff the man as another officer approaches. The video ends with the man still on the ground and the police officers standing over him. Jonathan Greenblatt, national director and chief executive officer of the ADL, noted that the attack is the second on the Jewish community in the United States in just two weeks. 'First, a young couple slaughtered in DC. And now, a firebomb thrown at a group in Boulder, Colorado, as they gathered to express solidarity with the 58 hostages still being held in Gaza by Hamas terrorists,' he said. Greenblatt said the attacks are part of 'a global campaign of intimidation and terror deliberately directed against the Jewish people.' In the past few days, he said, Jewish youth in London were assaulted, public spaces in Brisbane, Australia, were defaced with antisemitic graffiti, and synagogues, a Holocaust memorial and a kosher restaurant in Paris were vandalized. 'Sadly, none of this is surprising,' he said. 'In fact, it's entirely predictable. This is precisely where anti-Jewish incitement leads. This is exactly what vicious anti-Zionism enables.'

'Targeted terror attack' at Colorado mall; suspect tried to set victims on fire
'Targeted terror attack' at Colorado mall; suspect tried to set victims on fire Show Caption Hide Caption FBI investigating 'attack at Colorado mall The FBI is investigating a report of a "targeted attack" in a Boulder, Colorado mall. Authorities said a male suspect was taken into custody on June 1 after multiple people were set on fire at a pedestrian mall in Boulder, Colorado, in what the FBI director described as a "targeted terror attack." "We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado," FBI Director Kash Patel said on X. "Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available." Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said in a statement that the attack appeared to be a "hate crime given the group that was targeted." Weiser said the group meets weekly at the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder to "call for the release of the hostages in Gaza." "Hate has no place in Colorado," Weiser added. "We all have the right to peaceably assemble and the freedom to speak our views. But these violent acts — which are becoming more frequent, brazen and closer to home—must stop and those who commit these horrific acts must be fully held to account." President Donald Trump has been briefed on the attack in Boulder, a senior White House official told USA TODAY. Boulder dispatch received several calls to the county courthouse on Pearl Street at around 1:26 p.m. local time, Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn said at an afternoon news conference on June 1. Initial reports indicated that there was a man with a weapon, and people were being set on fire at the scene. Officers immediately responded to the scene and encountered multiple victims with wounds consistent with burns and other injuries, according to Redfearn. The victims, who sustained a range of injuries from "very serious to more minor," were taken to a local hospital, Redfearn added. A suspect, who police are not identifying at this time, was taken into custody and transported to a hospital with minor injuries, Redfearn said. Though the scene has been contained, Redfearn said a large area of downtown Boulder is closed off. People have been asked to avoid the area. "This area is not safe yet. We're dealing with a vehicle of interest," Redfearn said at the news conference. "We're dealing with a large area that we are making sure it's safe before we allow people to come back into the scene." An organization that works to fight antisemitism and bias said in a statement that it has reviewed videos of the suspect believed to have thrown the Molotov cocktails. "We believe he can be heard saying, 'How many children have you killed?' 'We need to end Zionists,'" the ADL said. The organization said the man also gestured toward what appeared to be victims of the attack and proclaimed: "They are killers." – Michael Collins At 2:08 p.m. local time, the Boulder Police Department said in a post on X that they responded to a report of several victims near the Boulder mall, about 30 miles northwest of Denver. Pearl Street is a four-block pedestrian mall that stretches from 11th Street to 15th Street. Multiple businesses and restaurants, as well as the Boulder County Courthouse, are located in the area. About an hour later, the police department said it was evacuating several blocks around the area between Walnut and Pine streets as they continued "to investigate this active incident." 'There was a lot of people out — a very beautiful day,' Redfearn said, adding that there was a group of people that were conducting a peaceful demonstration in support of Israel. The police chief said he believed the demonstration occurred frequently in the area. Redfearn called the incident "unacceptable," noting that it was too early for police to speculate on a motive. Civil rights and advocacy groups have reported a surge in antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents since Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel. According to Israeli tallies, the attack killed about 1,200 people, and 251 Israelis were taken hostage into Gaza. Israel's subsequent military campaign has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians and has destroyed much of the enclave, said Gaza health officials. The attack also occurred after a 30-year-old man from Chicago fatally shot two Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C., on May 21. The victims were leaving an event at the Capital Jewish Museum when the suspect opened fire, killing Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim. The suspect shouted, "Free, free Palestine" while in custody, authorities said. Israeli embassies immediately increased security measures following the incident, USA TODAY previously reported. Just days after the shooting, federal authorities announced that a dual U.S. and German citizen was arrested in New York for allegedly attempting to firebomb a branch office of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel. Dan Bongino, the FBI's deputy director, said on X that the agency's leadership team was on the ground in Boulder and would soon have an update on the attack. "This act of terror is being investigated as an act of ideologically motivated violence based on the early information, the evidence, and witness accounts," Bongino said. "We will speak clearly on these incidents when the facts warrant it." — Charles Ventura and Joseph Garrison Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said on X that the state was working with local and federal law enforcement to support the investigation. "I am closely monitoring the situation in Boulder, and my thoughts go out to the people who have been injured and impacted by this heinous act of terror," Polis said in the post. "Hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable." The Anti-Defamation League said it was monitoring the situation 'as we approach the holiday of Shavuot.' "We are aware of reports of an attack at today's Boulder Run for Their Lives event - a weekly meeting of Jewish community members to run/walk in support of the hostages kidnapped on 10/7," the organization said on X. According to Jewishcolorado, a Denver-based non-profit that is part of the Jewish Federations of North America, the Run for Their Lives walk is a repeating event in downtown Boulder. "We have been walking in Boulder, CO since Thanksgiving 2023 to show solidarity for the plight of the hostages still being held in Gaza," according to the organization's website. "We will continue to walk until all hostages are released." (This story was updated to add new information.)
