Folks who haven’t yet gotten their fill of the seemingly endless saga of abuse, depravity, and predatory behavior that has surrounded Sean “Diddy” Combs since last year might be interested to know that Peacock has unveiled footage of its upcoming documentary, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. The film will premiere on the platform on Tuesday, Jan. 14.
The trailer alone gives major Surviving R. Kelly vibes, opening with several of Combs’ associates and former associates revealing their feelings about the embattled Bad Boy mogul, who is currently facing multiple criminal charges and more than two dozen civil lawsuits regarding a myriad of sexual assault and abuse allegations, among other charges.
From Deadline:
The 90-minute special chronicles “Combs’ early years and his decades-long transformation to Puffy and then to Diddy, with crucial insight into the forces that shaped the man and may have made him a monster,” according to Peacock.
Per the official logline: “Featuring never-before-seen footage and stories from those who know him best, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy sheds light on his childhood, rise to fame, and recent criminal allegations, challenging viewers to rethink everything they thought they knew about the mogul behind the music—and the mugshot.”
The special features exclusive, never-before-seen footage of Diddy partying, at home and in the studio, as well as revealing interviews with some of those who’ve known Diddy best – including his childhood friend, his former bodyguard, and a “Making the Band” winner. Singer/songwriter/producer Al B. Sure!, who was Diddy’s label mate at Uptown Records and in a relationship with Kim Porter before she began dating Diddy, also speaks out for the first time.
Since the cases against Combs are still ongoing, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, which is produced by Ample Entertainment, Blink Films, and FGW Productions, won’t serve as documentation of his guilt, but maybe it will give the public, including his fans and former fans, insight into who the man behind the music really is. We shall see!
