The Claims from Houston Pastor’s Interview About Sean “Diddy” Combs Will Leave You Jaw Dropped
Houston Pastor and former Bad Boy Entertainment producer Rod Long told all about the rapper’s alleged life behind the scenes.
The latest person to spill the tea on who Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly becomes behind close doors is a Houston pastor and former Bad Boy Entertainment employee. First of all, everything the pastor says is alleged and nothing has been proved in a court of law, but his comments sound similar to other disturbing allegations against the mogul. However, he suggests things that are even more sinister than we’ve heard before.
In an unfiltered interview, self-proclaimed prophet Tomi Arayomi asked RIG Global Church Pastor Rod Long to expand on what is was like working with Combs before ultimately deciding to leave secular music to pursue ministry. Long said he was interested in making music since a young age and got connected to Combs through Andre Harrell’s Motown Talent Search years ago.
After selling one record to Combs for $7,000, Long said the demand for his music increased until Combs eventually asked to meet him. Long said his first time meeting him was at Diddy’s House Studio in New York City. Though, that wasn’t the most concerning interaction he had.
Long went on to explain how he was invited to meet Combs again at a party in Miami. What happened next mimics a lot of the floating rhetoric about what happens at a “Diddy Party.”
“I remember him walking in and asking everybody, ‘Hey, what kind of girls do y’all want?’ A few moments later… girls came in. I think somebody said they wanted Puerto Rican girls and just a bunch of them in,” said Long.
He said t this was a demonstration of Combs’ power to get whatever he wanted. Long also said despite the function being riddled with women, he believed those girls Combs brought in were there to do specifically whatever the guys wanted them to do. Though he never expanded on what exactly happened, he eluded to there being “sex-capades” in the midst of the shenanigans.
Demonic Influence?
Long said when he was working on his first record for Bad Boy, he was working in the House Studio for four days straight with no sleep. He said he felt like he was being driven by something other than his own ability such as a demonic spirit. He also said making music in general felt like a process of channeling something else, beyond the rap tune.
Long recalled what he described as seances in the studio where people would light candles and move their hands in a ritualistic fashion. As the beats were playing, Long said they would chant on top of the music which did not have lyrics. Long also said this process happened before the track reached the writers.
“I can hear it in my ears like it was just yesterday. It was amazing music, but you don’t get to those realms without a supernatural guide,” he said.
Last Straw
Long said the moment he decided to step away was after he was flown out to Las Vegas for another Diddy party. Once he was getting ready to head to the function, he said he was instructed by God to leave. He said once Diddy’s constituents caught wind that he was leaving the city, he said they told him “You’re not walking away.” Following that was a series of threats and acts of intimidation, Long said.
“Then the threats started. None of these guys knew my mom or where she lived. My mom started calling me like, ‘Hey these guys are calling.’ My wife, who was my girlfriend at the time – they were even calling her house. They even came to my church which was very scary because I almost felt forced into going back into this,” Long said of Combs’ colleagues.
Welcome to Car and Driver’s Testing Hub, where we zoom in on the test numbers. We’ve been pushing vehicles to their limits since 1956 to provide objective data to bolster our subjective impressions (you can see how we test here).
Now that we’ve had a Volkswagen ID.Buzz at our office and put it through our rigorous testing, we figured it’s as good a time as any to compare its test results with the Kia EV9. As things currently stand, the pair are the most affordable family-sized three-row EVs that you can buy.
For the 2025 model year, the entry-level, rear-drive version of the Kia starts at $56,395, while VW’s van carries a $61,545 base price. All-wheel-drive models start at $65,395 and $69,545, respectively, but the ones we tested had most of the best features, making them quite a bit pricier—$72,065 for the ID.Buzz Pro S Plus and over $77K for the EV9 GT-Line.
An EV’s driving range is one of its biggest selling points. Of course, there’s typically a big difference between the EPA’s combined-range figure that’s listed on the window sticker and what you’ll see in real life, especially at sustained highway speeds. Going, say, 75 mph at a steady cruise will suck the juice out of the battery much quicker than schlepping around town at a slower, stop-and-go pace. The former scenario is what our real-world highway test aims to replicate. It’s also where the EV9 GT-Line, which features a 99.8-kWh battery, made it 240 miles on a full charge. That’s 30 miles shy of its 270-mile EPA estimate, but it’s also 50 miles farther than the ID.Buzz Pro S Plus.
The VW only made it 190 miles in our highway test—41 miles short of its 231-mile EPA estimate. It’s worth noting the ID.Buzz has a smaller 86.0-kWh battery capacity, but it still consumed more energy on the highway than the EV9, with the van averaging 2.2 miles per kilowatt-hour versus the SUV’s 2.4 mi/kWh. The electric SUV also has a slight advantage when it comes to DC fast-charging, where its 215-kW peak is higher than the Buzz’s 200 kW—though our test model slightly outperformed its claimed peak. The EV9 GT-Line’s fast-charging time was impressive, going from 10 to 90 percent in 38 minutes, with the electric van taking just 33 minutes thanks to its smaller battery.
