Diddy's Ex-Bodyguard Gean Deal Says Biggie Didn't Die In a Drive-By

Puff Daddy's ex-bodyguard Gene Deal likes to talk.

He especially likes to talk about the death of the Notorious B.I.G.

Deal says he was in the car behind Big's when he was gunned down in Los Angeles in 1997.

During Deal's recent chat with The Art Of Dialogue, Deal clarified that Big didn't die in a driveby, which has been widely reported.

"The stories they tell is not truthful. And now people are sitting here believing," he explained.  "Every Biggie movie that you see, they say it's a drive-by. When the witness tells you the car was stood right there at the corner — the car was probably there all night."

Deal also said that he warned Puffy that someone was trying to kill him on the night of Big's death and that he believes Biggie's killer really wanted Puff.
