Peacock has unveiled the much-anticipated premiere footage of its latest documentary special, "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy," set to captivate audiences on Tuesday, January 14th. This revelatory special delves into the tumultuous life of embattled rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs.
The recently unleashed trailer packs a punch right from the outset, as those closest to Combs bare their souls about their feelings towards the incarcerated titan, who now faces numerous criminal charges and a slew of over two dozen lawsuits. This 90-minute special meticulously chronicles Combs' humble beginnings, his evolution from Puffy to Diddy, and offers profound insights into the forces that molded him into the man he is today—forces that may have also contributed to his downfall.
According to Peacock's official logline, "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy" showcases never-before-seen footage and intimate stories from those who know him best, shedding light on his childhood, meteoric rise to fame, and the recent criminal allegations that have rocked his world. The documentary invites viewers to reconsider everything they believed they knew about the mogul behind the music and the mugshot.
The special boasts exclusive, unseen footage of Diddy partying, at home, and in the studio, alongside revealing interviews with those who have known him longest—including his childhood friend, former bodyguard, and a "Making the Band" winner. Singer/songwriter/producer Al B. Sure!, who was once a label mate of Diddy's at Uptown Records and was in a relationship with Kim Porter before she began dating Combs, also speaks out for the very first time.
Arrested on September 16th in a New York hotel lobby, Combs stands accused of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Currently incarcerated and repeatedly denied bail, his trial is slated to commence on May 5th.
Produced by Ample Entertainment, Blink Films, and FGW Productions, "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy" boasts an impressive list of executive producers, including Ari Mark, Phil Lott, Sumit David, Stephanie Frederic, Laura Jones, Justine Kershaw, with Sara Lavery serving as co-executive producer.
