Just as we saw happen with R. Kelly, Sean “Diddy” Combs is becoming the subject of many documentaries examining the rapper given his pending sex crime case. In the latest trailer, a few crucial insiders spoke out on their own experiences being around the mogul.
Let’s just say we can expect some disturbing accounts when the film drops.
Peacock just dropped the trailer to their 90-minute documentary special, “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,” which is described to give “crucial inside into the forces that shaped and may have made Combs a monster.”
“He thought that if people fear him, they’d respect him,” one person said in the trailer.
The documentary features people from childhood friends to employees of Combs who were interviewed to speak on the rapper. Some of them claimed they witnessed everything at the exclusive “Diddy parties” prosecutors claim were the location of sex trafficking, drug abuse and more.
“I’ve been with Sean for quite a while and I’ve captured a lot of moments. Any time a studio or any room is red, he’s making love and sex. Some of the ones who went in the room, for sure they were underage,” one anonymous interviewee said per the trailer.
One interviewee said she never wanted to be around Combs unless there were cameras. Another interviewee said she was told she would be shipped and sold to anyone. Aside from the party guests, big names including singer Al B. Sure were interviewed in the documentary among other producers who have worked closely with the rapper.
The documentary comes after the 55-year-old rap mogul was arrested in Manhattan by federal authorities, six months after they raided his two homes in Los Angeles and Miami. His indictment was unsealed the following morning, revealing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and engaging in interstate transportation for prostitution. The allegations against Combs include sexual abuse, physical abuse, bribery and various drug offenses.
The most notable claims stem from his so-called “freak off” sex parties, where prosecutors allege women and men were drugged and forced to perform sexual acts at Combs’ pleasure. He was also accused of using video footage to blackmail the victims into compliance.
The special will air Jan. 14. Combs has pleaded not guilty, and was denied bail. His trial is scheduled for May 2025.
