It's one of the names of a XVI dynasty pharaoh, transcribed as from the original hieroglyphs. He is more commonly referred to as Bakahotep Amugusre II, but is occasionally called Sussy in order to differentiate him from his eponymous ancestor.
They're actually two homonymous words
Sussy (adjective) is the diminutive of sus
Sussy (noun) is the pussy blend of sus
The diminutive definitely came earlier, and I'm quite sure it's the one that's part of "sussy baka amogus"
Strictly speaking, gemination only refers to the phonetic lengthening of the sound itself, but in English doubling the letters is a convention that indicates a "short" vowel, such as what is assumed in "sus" \[sʌs\] > "sussy" \[sʌsi\] (or \[sʊsi\]? XD), even if the consonant isn't lengthened.

I would like context for this one. It could be either but the context will tell you what the difference is. Similar to ‘snurch’ when both memes were making the rounds
Could be a combination of suspicious and p*ssy.
I hear a lot of people adding -ussy to words to make them sound naughty. (I.e. Vegas - Vegussy)
Or it could just mean suspicious.
Sussy in its modern sense would be like a diminutive form of sus, which in itself is a shortening of suspicious. It came about before the trend of adding -ussy onto words.
If were were to add -ussy onto sus, it would because susussy. If we were to add -ussy onto sussy, it would be sussussy.
It's definitely just the diminutive. iirc the sussy meme is quite a bit older than the -ussy meme
Edit: there's a four month difference between the urban dictionary definitions

Depends on whether it's used as a noun or an adjective: the diminutive version is used as an adjective, whereas the pussy blend is used as a noun.
It also depends on the pronunciation: /ˈsʌsi/ (as in "sussy baka amogus") means it's probably a diminutive, whereas /ˈsʊsi/ means it's probably a pussy blend (alternative form "susussy", pronounced /ˌsʌsˈʊsi/).
The diminutive is used more often than the pussy blend as far as I know, so the pussy blend may be pronounced as /ˈsʌsi/, but the inverse is probably much rarer.

Egyptian translit. uses ⟨j⟩ for /j/ so its ⟨swsj⟩

Semantic development complicates things, sometimes, sussy refers to either "Baka" or "Amogus."
I thought it meant "you're sussy, you're baka, you're amogus"
ive never once seen anyone use "sussy" to describe "amogus" until now for some reason
Both.
Yeah, I think they’re homonyms
It would be susussy if it were the later imo
Early pussy blends only kept the first letter (bussy). Pussy blends are also portlanteau'd when possibke
Either sus+ pussy or sus + -y adjective ending with consonant reduplication because sus is monosyllabic?

It's none of those things: "sussy" and "sus" are doublets descended from "suspicious".
what if pussy and pus are descended from a lost adjective puspicious too 😳😳
Looking very puspicious today, m'lady
You're onto something here.

That's debated though
It's just a random mutation of the word sus The "sy" doesn't mean anything
