A trailer has been released for Peacock’s documentary feature, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, following the rise and fall of rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Peacock says 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.”
The trailer interviews several of those who have been closest to Combs, revealing how they feel about his facing multiple criminal charges and over two dozen lawsuits.
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.
Arrested on September 16, 2024, in a New York hotel lobby, Combs is charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. Currently already behind bars and repeatedly denied bail, Combs’ trial is set to start May 5, 2025.
Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy is set for premiere on Tuesday, January 14th. Check out the trailer below:
