In a trailer for a documentary that will be released in about ten days, the people who knew and worked with Diddy tell their experience and have their say on the very serious accusations made against the singer and record producer.
The documentary is titled Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy and in the United States it will be released on January 14th on the Peacock platform. It lasts 90 minutes and tells the entire story of Sean Combs through interviews with childhood friends, a former bodyguard, a make-up artist, an intern, various collaborators. There are also never-before-seen images of parties at Diddy's house and in his studio.
Also having his say is musician and producer Al B. Sure!, who signed with Uptown Records around the time Combs did and had a relationship with Kim Porter before him. “There's something wrong,” he says in the trailer shortly before a male voice made anonymous by a filter states that “I've been by Sean's side for a long time. When the light in the studio or in a room was red it meant he was having sex. And certainly some of the girls who were with him were minors.” One woman claims that “they told me they could take me and sell me to anyone.”
Combs' defenders say they have faith in justice and that “in court the truth will prevail: Mr. Combs did not traffic in human beings for sexual purposes, nor has he ever raped anyone, man or woman, adult or minor.”
Combs is still locked up awaiting trial, without the possibility of bail, at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York. He was arrested on September 16. The trial is expected to begin in May. He declared himself innocent. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
