Peacock has unveiled the first footage of Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, its new documentary special about disgraced rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, set for premiere on Tuesday, Jan. 14.
The just-released trailer pulls no punches, opening with several of those who have been closest to Combs revealing how they feel about the incarcerated mogul who is facing multiple criminal charges and over two dozen lawsuits.
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,” according to Peacock.
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 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.
Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy is produced by Ample Entertainment, Blink Films and FGW Productions. Executive producers are Ari Mark, Phil Lott, Sumit David, Stephanie Frederic, Laura Jones, Justine Kershaw and co-executive producer is Sara Lavery.
