Sean “Diddy” Combs His rise to prominence, first in the hip-hop community and then as a world-renowned music mogul, was highlighted in a new documentary.
Born and raised in New York, Diddy’s colorful past was brought to life through stories told by a childhood friend, former employee and singer Al B. Sure, who has a son with Diddy’s late ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter. .
“Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy” dropped months after the fallen rapper was accused of conspiracy to extort; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation for prostitution in a federal indictment unsealed Sept. 17.
In a statement to Fox News Digital about the documentary, a rep for Diddy said: “This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been hurled at Mr. Combs for months. It’s disappointing to see NBC and Peacock appear “. the same mud as unethical tabloid reporters. By providing a platform for proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations, the documentary is irresponsible journalism of the worst kind.”

His brother, Sonny Williams Jr., recalled a meeting with Diddy six years after he began litigation over his late sister’s case. Williams was taken to Diddy’s office and offered $50,000.
“I remember looking around the office and seeing all these plaques on the wall,” Williams said. “I said, ‘Bro, you had all this going on and you offered me $50,000.’ He said, ‘Son, listen, you know, that’s a very generous donation.’ And I lost it.

Patterson noted that he protected Diddy from bullies and that the couple regularly attended parties at his childhood home, where they were exposed to alcohol and marijuana at a young age.
“He was surrounded by all types of alcohol. He was surrounded by cigarette smoke,” Patterson said. “I was surrounded by drug addicts, lesbians, homosexuals. I was surrounded by pimps and traffickers. Those were the ones in our house.”
