Sean “Diddy” Combs, music mogul who is best known for major controversies, became the center of attention with Netflix’s new documentary Diddy The Reckoning.
The rapper’s documentary explored his journey from fame to legal trouble, as the four-part series focused on his rise in the music world, his recent criminal conviction and all the controversies surrounding his life.
The biographical story was executive produced by Curtis 50 Cent Jackson and directed by Emmy winner Alexandria Stapleton.
However, it included rare footage filmed just six days before Combs’ September 2024 arrest.
In one clip, the rapper was heard saying on the phone, “We need to find someone who will work with us who has worked in the dirtiest of dirty businesses. We are losing.”
Earlier this year, the I’ll Be Missing You rapper was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was not convicted of more serious charges like sex trafficking or racketeering.
The director said the series was not just about Diddy or the people who accused him. It also looked at how powerful people can get away with things, mentioning Cassie’s lawsuit as an example of this.
The show also has interviews with former Danity Kane member Aubrey O’Day and jurors from Combs’ trial and it included personal footage filmed with his permission.
The series talked about fame, responsibility and how people now expect more from celebrities after the #MeToo movement.
For the unversed, Diddy The Reckoning came out on Netflix on December 2. The show gave viewers a close look at Diddy and the world around him.
