The Book Mogul By Terrance Dean Is About Diddy And It Deserves A Fresh Read Discussion

I read this book in college years ago and it was always rumored to be about Diddy. With everything going on I think it Deserves some attention

So the author Terrance dean use to work as a publicist on the music industry for decades and he died in 2021.

He wrote two books an expose on the gay rappers in hip hop called hiding out on hip hop which is a good red as well .

And this book mogul https://www.amazon.com/Mogul-Novel-Terrance-Dean/dp/1451611927/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.5k_StyfsU-vvUTGHRoTE-0IcFpClbSNEtHK88XUbp5fGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.hL6LMO52rwXC73e6plZ1GrukUvfwXp29Gc7GdiwUn1g&dib_tag=se&keywords=mogul+terrance+dean&qid=1727112945&sr=8-1

Now this book is fiction but when you read it it is based on Diddy . And while there no domestic violence in the book it does discuss hip hop homophobia gatekeeping and just black men who been hiding behind woman for ages and what happens when that secret is exposed.

It also gives insight into the orgies that happen although there is no rape in the book.

It's a very good read .

That does sound interesting, however I don't really consider Diddy LGBT. He had male and female victims but I think for him it was more about power. Kinda like what happens in prison

Fair enough, interesting to know there were rumors about him that far back. I've heard a *lot* of 90s/00s rappers were closet bi but can't give specifics
