Blige, and Al B. Sure releasing hit after hit.<\/p>\n<p>There was his firing from Uptown in 1993 when he began to challenge Harrell, taking with him the Notorious B.I.G. and birthing Bad Boy Entertainment.\u00a0\u00a0The backing of Bad Boy by Arista\u2019s Clive Davis with $10 million up front set Bad Boy on its way to late \u201890s dominance of both R&amp;B\/Hip-Hop and pop charts.<\/p>\n<p>There were his relationships with his mother, Janice Combs, who raised Sean after his father was murdered in the 1970s; and the mother of three of his children, the late Kim Porter, both of which were cast as being violent at times.\u00a0\u00a0Simultaneously poignant and chilling was the producers\u2019 use of Nat King Cole\u2019s \u201cNature Boy\u201d to soundtrack the development (and grooming?) of Porter during her evolving relationship with Diddy.<\/p>\n<p>There were accounts from childhood best friend and future Bad Boy cofounder Kirk Burrowes, who was perhaps the most compelling and important source of the whole story.\u00a0\u00a0After all, it was Burrowes who\u2019d been given a 25% share of Bad Boy Entertainment (Janice Combs was given the other 75%, as her son didn\u2019t initially want his name attached to the label given the legal troubles he was already facing following a celebrity basketball tournament he\u2019d sponsored \u2014 and oversold \u2014 resulting in a stampede and the deaths of nine people in 1991.<\/p>\n<p>Sean Combs \u2014 barely 22 at the time \u2014 was already business savvy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Puffy to Puff Daddy to P. Diddy to Diddy \u2014 Sean Combs was a Complex Man\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That savvy, however, is portrayed throughout the film as ruthless, evil, and even deadly.\u00a0\u00a0He\u2019s at times described as often not paying his artists or producers, with many of them (Curry, 112, Total, the Lox, Carl Thomas) now languishing in obscurity.\u00a0\u00a0Burrowes, who\u2019s since faced homelessness, recounts how Diddy \u2014 with baseball bat in hand \u2014 forced him to relinquish his 25% ownership of Bad Boy when the boss\u2019s finances were tight.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Diddy was a marketing genius who, to the public and the most diehard of fans, was Bad Boy\u2019s good guy who always came out on top.\u00a0\u00a0He was even the seeming peace keeper in rap\u2019s East-vs.-West civil war of the mid-1990s.\u00a0\u00a0Where Pac and Death Row chief Marion \u201cSuge\u201d Knight were vilified by the media, Puff was exalted, as \u201880s hip-hop group EPMD\u2019s Erick Sermon accurately recalls.\u00a0\u00a0Yet, behind the scenes, Combs is depicted as always maneuvering, always remembering those who slighted him, and always seeking more power \u2014 disguised in his mind as \u201cmaking history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Behind all of this was a man who, as a child, was \u201cgoofy as hell\u201d and couldn\u2019t defend himself while being picked on \u2014 as Burrowes tells it.\u00a0\u00a0Diddy also suffered beatings as a kid from Janice \u2014 some of which Burrowes allegedly witnessed \u2014 and the aspiring hip-hop mogul even allegedly \u201claid hands\u201d on his mom after she confronted him about his career choice following the basketball tournament massacre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diddy and the Connection to Pac &amp; Biggie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That massacre was only the tip of the iceberg for what lay ahead.\u00a0\u00a0At various turns in the series, Combs is directly or indirectly tied \u2014 allegedly, of course \u2014 to the deaths or shootings of several people in and outside of his close-knit circle, the most notable of them\u00a0\u00a0being Tupac Shakur and, more shockingly, his own artist Christopher \u201cThe Notorious B.I.G.\u201d Wallace.<\/p>\n<p>As details unfold, some of which have been well documented, Diddy\u2019s \u201cfriendship\u201d with two factions of the notorious Crips gang is depicted as being at the root of Pac\u2019s fatal shooting in September 1996.  Former Crip Keefe D, himself facing charges of being in the vehicle involved in 2Pac\u2019s murder, is shown recalling the $1 million dollar \u201chit\u201d on the slain rapper\u2019s and Suge Knight\u2019s lives, for which only half payment was rendered when Knight survived.<\/p>\n<p>Even more disturbing, however, is how Combs \u2014 known at the time as Puff Daddy \u2014 allegedly \u201cescorts\u201d Biggie to his own death by forcing him to remain in Los Angeles against his will following the 1997 Soul Train Awards, and by attending (and performing at) a party the following night in \u201cenemy territory.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0To those observing, it was seen as Puff\u2019s defiant act of sticking it to the West, specifically Death Row, just six months after their own chief breadwinner \u2014 2Pac \u2014 had been murdered.<\/p>\n<p>Still sadder was the allegation that Biggie\u2019s massive funeral \u2014 the televised Brooklyn parade attended by thousands and fit for a king \u2014 wasn\u2019t paid for by Diddy or Bad Boy Records, but by Biggie\u2019s estate, according to Burrowes.\u00a0\u00a0This was despite Wallace having died while \u201con the job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Sexual Misconduct Allegations\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s the post-Biggie phase of Diddy\u2019s trajectory that serves as this documentary\u2019s main premise.\u00a0\u00a0Realizing that the \u201890s method of marketing hip-hop as he knew it was becoming passe (and that none of the other artists on his Bad Boy roster, including himself, could bring Biggie-like numbers), Combs had expanded his brand into fashion (Sean John), spirits (C\u00eeroc vodka), and reality competition TV (MTV\u2019s \u201cMaking the Band\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>It was then that many of the intimate and romantic relationships that are at the core of his sexual misconduct allegations were formed.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s former girlfriend Cassie Ventura who declined to be interviewed for the series but of whom footage is aplenty, including past interviews and, expectedly, the infamous video of her being kicked and beaten by Diddy at a Florida hotel following one of the alleged \u201cfreak-offs.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Cassie\u2019s initial civil lawsuit in 2023 was what cracked open the floodgates that brought Diddy to where he is today.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s the \u201cgigolo\u201d Clayton Howard who participated in Diddy\u2019s cuckold fantasies with Ventura, detailing the sex acts he performed on her for thousands of dollars a pop, while Combs \u2014 either out of view or masked \u2014 narrated.<\/p>\n<p>There was Danity Kane member Aubrey O\u2019Day, whose alleged assault is revealed to be the account of a witness, not the drugged-up singer herself who can\u2019t recall and, frankly \u201cdoesn\u2019t want to know\u201d if she was raped.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s former Diddy-Dirty Money group member Kalenna Harper whose dubious recollection of the events surrounding the alleged Diddy assault of fellow member Dawn Richard are among the few moments casting doubt on the legitimacy of these claims, particularly given her recorded conversations and later formal statement in support of Diddy.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s music producer Rodney \u201cLil Rod\u201d Jones, whose musical talents landed him the job to oversee Diddy\u2019s last project \u2013\u00a0<em>The Love Album: Off the Grid<\/em>\u00a0(touted as R&amp;B \u201cmusic you can fuck to\u201d).\u00a0\u00a0Rod described how the recording sessions on Diddy\u2019s yacht devolved into sex-filled parties where he\u2019d awaken from a drug-induced haze with, alternately, strange women or Diddy himself in his bed.\u00a0\u00a0Rod, who claims he was never paid for his work on\u00a0<em>The Love Album<\/em>, is one of the many people who\u2019ve accused Diddy of sexual harassment or assault.<\/p>\n<p>And finally there\u2019s the remarkable testimony of Capricorn Clark, the former Diddy assistant who tied him to the bombing of rapper Kid Cudi\u2019s car after it was discovered that Cassie and Cudi were having an affair.\u00a0\u00a0It was Clark\u2019s testimony at Diddy\u2019s 2025 trial that jurors apparently found least credible \u2014 particularly of her own \u201ckidnapping\u201d by Diddy \u2014 as we learn through interviews with two of those jurors, both of whom deny being star struck (despite one of them sounding very much so).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In all there are more than 100 sexual misconduct cases filed against Diddy with 77 of those still pending.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Broader Reckoning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Make no mistake, nothing about this documentary is intended to make Diddy look good, and nothing did.\u00a0\u00a0While obligatory disclaimers appear in the form of white-font captions against a solid black screen and provide key transitions from one part of the series to the next, 50 Cent\u2019s message is clear: Diddy is irredeemably evil and that won\u2019t likely change.<\/p>\n<p>But there are broader \u201creckonings\u201d here than Diddy\u2019s.\u00a0\u00a0Some of it lies in the bigger picture of Black male celebrities being exalted to the top of their industries (see Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Mike Tyson, James Brown, Bill Cosby) only to be knocked down when issues that were, in some cases, hidden in plain sight come to light.<\/p>\n<p>Some of it lies in the realization some 30 years later that the whole East-v-West rap civil war was never that.\u00a0\u00a0It was always just Bad Boy-vs-Death Row, as Sermon put it, with both labels\u2019 main foot soldiers \u2014 Pac and Biggie \u2014 paying the ultimate price.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the recognition by many of us fans of Bad Boy\u2019s \u201890s output \u2014 this blogger included \u2014 that nothing is really as it seems, especially if one person, in this case Diddy, is allowed to control all the narratives.\u00a0\u00a0The benefit of critical thinking in one\u2019s 50s begs the question: why didn\u2019t artists like The Lox, 112, Mase, Total, Carl Thomas, and Faith Evans continue to thrive under Bad Boy\u2019s powerful influence and leadership in the industry?\u00a0\u00a0Why was it that the owner of the label, one with no classic musical training who \u201ccouldn\u2019t tell a \u201cC\u201d note from an \u201cF\u201d one\u201d and \u201ccouldn\u2019t sing or rap,\u201d wound up with the most successful career of all his artists?<\/p>\n<p>It also begs why some of those artists weren\u2019t also interviewed for the documentary and whether viewers got a complete picture of the events depicted given the executive producer\u2019s well-documented beef with his subject.\u00a0\u00a0A documentary this explosive almost screams for the voices that aren\u2019t there.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the voices that were silenced forever \u2014 those of 2Pac and Biggie \u2014 and whether Diddy will ultimately face charges for deaths that happened nearly 30 years ago.  <\/p>\n<p>But most important is the reality that alleged sexual assault victims were finally given a voice and, if any or all of these portrayals of Diddy are true \u2014 or seen as such not by fans, but by the people before whom the former mogul\u2019s fate still lies in dozens of civil lawsuits \u2014 it\u2019s likely that Diddy will never recover from this\u00a0<em>Reckoning<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And that, after all, was 50 Cent\u2019s main goal.<\/p>\n<p>DJRob<\/p>\n<p><em>DJRob (he\/him) is a freelance music blogger from the East Coast who covers R&amp;B, hip-hop, disco, pop, rock and country genres \u2013 plus lots of music news and
