“Insiders break their silence in Peacock’s all-new documentary special Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy,” reads the documentary’s description. “The 90-minute documentary special tells the story of Sean 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. The special features candid, revealing interviews with some of those who’ve known Diddy best – including his childhood friend, his former bodyguard, and a “Making the Band” winner. Plus 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, speaks out for the first time.”

In 2024, Combs was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, a charge for which he pleaded not guilty. As of December 2024, he is detained and awaiting trial for May 2025, after having been denied bail three times.
