Diddy’s former bodyguard Roger Bonds shared his thoughts on the rapper’s apology for allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a video.
Bonds expressed his reaction during an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored on Monday, May 20. He felt that Diddy was playing games and did not mention Cassie by name in the apology. Bonds believed that Diddy did not show enough humility and only said what people wanted to hear, rather than expressing his true feelings.
CNN recently obtained hotel security footage from 2016 showing Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie. Two days later, the musician apologized for his actions without directly mentioning his ex-girlfriend.
In an Instagram video, Diddy expressed remorse for his behavior, acknowledging that he had hit rock bottom. He took full responsibility for his actions in the video, stating that he was disgusted by his own behavior and making no excuses.
Bonds, who was Diddy’s head of security from 2003 to 2012, wasn't shocked by the footage because he had seen similar things before.
In 2012, Bonds claimed he had experienced situations like this before. He described Diddy as a master manipulator who is focused on money and power. Bonds also mentioned that over the years, he noticed Diddy exhibiting a "God syndrome" in their conversations.
We has reached out to Diddy and Cassie’s teams for comment on Bonds’ latest interview.

Bonds revealed that he had spoken to Diddy the day before Cassie filed a lawsuit against him in November 2023. The lawsuit alleged that Diddy had sexually assaulted and abused her.
The case was settled the following day, and Diddy's lawyer made it clear that the settlement does not imply guilt on Diddy's part.
Bonds shared that he worked for Diddy for a number of years because he felt he was being manipulated by the businessman.
Bonds explained that many people question why he chose to remain in the situation. He shared that he felt manipulated by his partner, who would apologize after outbursts and promise to change. Things would seem to improve for a while, but then the cycle of explosive behavior would repeat itself.
Despite the challenges, Bonds believed that by staying, he could make a positive difference.
Despite ongoing civil lawsuits, Diddy has not faced any criminal charges yet.
