Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ scandals to be explored in documentary

The BBC has announced the creation of a new documentary which will be exploring the career rise and fall of Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Possibly unraveling “the system that may have protected him for years”, it will be called P Diddy: The Rise and Fall, being fronted by broadcaster Yinka Bokinni.

It will run on BBC Three and iPlayer on April 28, diving into how he dominated the culture he was a part of, sustaining and rising to unprecedented levels of fame, and determining the career trajectories of several artists.

The rapper is currently facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, with his trial set to take place in May.

It has been alleged by the prosecutors that Combs “abused, threatened, and coerced women” while creating “a criminal enterprise” that ran on the basis of arson, kidnapping and forced labour.

“My job is to tell stories — but never did I imagine I’d be telling this one,” said Bokinni about the documentary. “Investigating the alleged actions of Diddy has forced a spotlight onto the darker side of an industry so many of us dream of belonging to. We sang his songs, bought into the lifestyle, watched the shows and wanted more. This has been an emotional, sometimes difficult experience. And with a trial on the horizon, what happens next will no doubt be gripping — in the most sobering way.”
