Security Guard Claims Diddy Paid Off Staff For Cassie Video At InterContinental Hotel

Former InterCon security guard Eddy Garcia has come forward with claims about Diddy, proving once again that Black folks need their own private investigators. In Garcia’s new testimony, the music executive is accused of bribing hotel staff to obtain a controversial video showing a physical confrontation between songbird Cassie. The information was disclosed by Garcia in his testimony on June 3, as he was working at the time of the event. His description offers a rare behind the scenes look at the now-shuttered hotel, where tension and hush money loomed large.

In the lawsuit, the security guard claims Khorram called him on Jan. She is said to have called Garcia from a New York area code to request the video file of the attack. On the call, Khorram, who was not named in the police report but was identified by a source as being the driver, reportedly revealed that Diddy was drunk at the time of the fight and stated that he couldn’t remember what had happened. Garcia’s answer was doubtful and full of protocol. He said he would have to schedule a meeting with hotel management before any footage could be turned over. But Khorram didn’t end there.

He says she later showed up at the hotel in person, banging on his door and demanding the video. Under pressure, though, Garcia did not back down and would not turn over the footage unless it was in accordance with the law, even so much as suggesting that a subpoena would be needed. What should be particularly shocking about what Garcia said is the implication that money may have exchanged hands. Diddy and Khorram were somehow able to persuade a so-called “few” of the hotel’s employees to sell them the video for cash, Diddy claims, and that’s when the plot thickens just like dough left out in the air to ferment and rise, and also balloons that float up to the ceiling.

Though the InterContinental Hotel has since closed, this case sheds light on the power struggles and high-stakes tactics that play out behind the scenes in celebrity feuds. Garcia’s account describes a man torn between loyalty, principle, and powerful people who wanted to get their hands on a potentially damning piece of evidence. As this story unfolds, it also illustrates how far some are willing to go to shield reputations or, perhaps, rewrite history. For now, the focus remains on the courthouse, where more will be revealed about the Cassie video drama and the role played by one of hip-hop’s power players.

Alwyn Morrison explores betrayal, judgment, and survival on new EP “Trial”

Life isn’t always a straight line, and Alwyn Morrison explores that in “Trial,” a four-track EP that goes beyond the familiar territory of love and heartbreak. The project blends pop, rock, and singer-songwriter influences, exploring themes of betrayal, false accusations, emotional pain, self-defense, and survival. Each track is inspired by courtrooms and is a step in a personal journey of understanding, acceptance, and ultimately freedom.

The first track, “Puzzle Piece,” is Morrison’s raw, heavy alternative rock sound, fitting the weight of betrayal and false accusations. The song has a sense of tension, putting you in the shoes of someone trying to understand a difficult situation. Followed by “Everybody Bleeds,” which follows that emotional path, creating a song about confusion, openness, and the struggles we all face, and it’s an emotional listen, with hard truths and personal experiences laid bare.

The project’s focus track, “Monster,” goes into more personal territory. It explores what happens when we are judged or condemned for the choices we make, and it carries a message that goes far beyond Morrison’s own experience. The central theme will strike a chord with anyone who has felt misunderstood, unfairly labeled, or defined by others’ opinions.

The EP closes with “Fireflies,” a track that shifts the mood, contrasting childhood innocence and memories with the realities of adult life. The sequence moves the story toward resilience, survival, and earned acceptance. Alwyn Morrison spins a musical tale of hard life experiences put to the test. The courtroom concept gives the four songs real purpose to move on without letting past experience dictate the future.
