Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently incarcerated and facing criminal charges relating to allegations of sex trafficking and assault and almost 30 civil lawsuits – he maintains his innocence across the board. New documentary “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy” revisits his childhood, talks to the people he knew on the way up to the top of the music business and claims to be “unflinching”.
Here’s how to watch “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy” from anywhere with a VPN.

The documentary is described by Director John X. Lane as “an exploration, not an exoneration or condemnation” – see below to find out what Diddy’s lawyers make of it – but, as the title suggests, it certainly finds space to articulate the dark side of his character and the accusations contained in many of the civil lawsuits he faces are given weight here.
The doc digs back into his childhood in Mount Vernon, New York. One claim is that his mother threw wild parties that he was exposed to at a young age and, as a childhood friend recollects: “This is what we were exposed to… and it desensitized us in ways we didn’t even realize. It was just another Saturday night.”
There is never-seen-before footage of the hip hop star partying (surrendered by his inner circle who opt for anonymity) plus a haunting look at the life and death of Kim Porter, Diddy’s longtime partner and mother of three of his children, in 2018.
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial to face charges of sex trafficking is scheduled for May 5.

What have Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team said about the “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy”?
“These [recent] documentaries include unchecked claims and provide platforms for baseless conspiracy theories without accountability or evidence. In the case of the Peacock documentary in particular, the motivations and credibility of those being interviewed must be questioned. Many claim to have knowledge but lack any connection to the truth, while their wild, unfounded theories are cut and sensationalized to appear factual.”
