"The series, produced by Combs's longtime rival Curtis 50 Cent Jackson, chronicles his rise to fame and details some of the allegations made against him over the years. It features a wide range of voices, including former members of his inner circle, several former employees and associates, childhood friends, artists who were signed to his label Bad Boy Records, two jurors from his federal trial, and several people who have filed civil lawsuits against Combs,"
"The documentary comes several months after the Bad Boy Records founder was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but not guilty of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges against him. In October, Combs, who had pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, was sentenced to 50 months in prison. Combs is currently serving his sentence at Fort Dix prison complex in New Jersey, and is appealing both his conviction and his sentence."
"After the series premiered on Tuesday, Juda Engelmayer, a spokesperson for Combs, said in a statement that we're not going to comment on individual claims being repeated in the documentary, adding: Many of the people featured have longstanding personal grievances, financial motives, or credibility issues that have been documented for years. Several of these stories have already been addressed in court filings, and others were never raised in any legal forum because they're simply not true,"
