In an Instagram story post deleted later, Bonds claimed that Cassie’s allegations were true, emphasizing that his message should not be misconstrued as a “threat” or “snitching” against either Cassie or Diddy.
He made it clear that he witnessed such incidents during his tenure as the rapper’s bodyguard and was compelled to speak out in light of recent events, particularly for the well-being of his own children.
“This is not meant to be threats or snitching or anything like that against Cassie or Diddy or anyone else,” The Source reports Bonds to have written Bonds wrote.
“This is me telling my truth as I truly remember it for 2 reasons only, 1st because I have 4 daughters so on all dudes my truth as I seen it, saw it and was involved with for years.”
