The documentary’s focus spans his early years, his meteoric rise in the music industry, and the allegations that have cast a shadow over his legacy.
According to Peacock, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy
“offers unprecedented insight into Combs’ transformation from a young dreamer to Puffy, and later Diddy, revealing the influences that shaped his persona—and the events that may have led to his undoing.”
Combining never-before-seen footage with candid stories from insiders, the documentary challenges viewers to reassess their understanding of the man behind the headlines.The special promises rare glimpses into Diddy’s personal and professional life, featuring scenes of him partying, working in the studio, and unwinding at home. Interviews include testimony from his childhood friend, former bodyguard, and a winner from Making the Band. Al B. Sure!, a fellow Uptown Records artist and former partner of Kim Porter, also speaks publicly for the first time about his relationship with Combs.
The documentary doesn’t shy away from the stark realities of Combs’ current legal battles. Arrested on September 16 in a New York hotel lobby, he faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution. Denied bail, Combs remains behind bars as he awaits trial, scheduled for May 5.
