In this VladTV Flashback from 2021, Gene Deal described Diddy's affiliation with Keefe D and the Southside Compton Crips. He claimed he would only see the "head knockas" from the crew and said Keefe D and his crew often gambled with Bad Boy's crew in hotel rooms. He talked about meeting Keefe D for the first time and said Diddy didn't direct pay the Crips, but would give them tickets to shows.
