Diddy Documentary Bombshells: Ex-Rapper's Warning of Death for Involvement
If convicted on federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, Sean 'Diddy' Combs could face life in prison.
A new documentary showcased Sean "Diddy" Combs' journey from a prominent figure in the hip-hop community to a globally recognized music mogul.
Diddy's colorful past was brought to life through stories told by a childhood friend, a former employee and singer Al B. Sure, who has a son with Diddy's late ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter.
"The Making of a Bad Boy" documentary about Diddy was released after he was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution in a federal indictment unsealed in September.
Diddy's representative to Planet Chronicle Digital stated that the documentary about him recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been spread against him for months. It is disheartening to see NBC and Peacock aligning themselves with unethical tabloid journalists by giving a platform to proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations. The documentary represents irresponsible journalism of the worst kind.
Here's a look at the top bombshells from the Peacock special.
Violent threat
Diddy, a former model who dated Porter for 13 years, had three children with her, including twins Jessie James and D'Lila and sons Christian and Justin. Porter also had a third son, Quincy, with her ex, singer Al B. Sure. Later, Diddy adopted Quincy.
Albert Joseph Brown III, also known as Al B. Sure, admitted that he was once cautioned by Porter about the potential consequences of associating with Diddy's lifestyle.
Remember the propaganda against me that people were exposed to over the years. 'Puffy did this and adopted your kid.' ... It's important to note that his name is still Brown. People believed I was absent and involved in various negative activities. I was instructed by [Combs] not to have any relationships with Kimberly.
Kimberly said, "Don't get involved; you will get killed." Even now, I remember.
Porter died in November 2018 of pneumonia. She was 47.
The County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner's office determined her death to be natural.
Before questioning whether he should say "allegedly," Al B. Sure referred to the former model's death as "her murder." He remembered seeing her before her death and believed she looked healthy. However, upon hearing that she died of pneumonia, he felt that something was off.
Porter claimed that Sure made a promise not to discuss their lives "out of fear for my life," he stated.
"After her death, it was discovered that she had been keeping a diary and had been writing about what was going on behind closed doors, which someone had accessed by getting her phone and computer passcodes."
Deadly stampede
In 1991, a charity basketball game at City College of New York between Diddy and Heavy D turned deadly when more than 5,000 people tried to enter a gymnasium that could only hold 2,730.
The crowd rushed toward the entrance as fans desperately tried to break through the double doors that opened inward instead of swinging outward, with big names like Mike Tyson and LL Cool J among them.
Nearly 30 people died after being crushed by fans who tried to gain entrance through closed doors for 15 minutes.
Diddy, at 22, faced a number of civil suits filed by the families of the victims, one of whom was given a ticket to the event that day by Combs.
Sonny Williams Jr., her brother, remembered a meeting with Diddy six years after litigation on her late sister's case. In the meeting, Williams was offered $50,000.
Williams recounted looking around the office and noticing plaques on the wall. He said, "I remember saying, 'Brother, you have all this going on, and you offered me $50,000.' He replied, 'Sonny, man, listen, man, you know, that's real generous. That's a generous donation.' And I lost it."
"I asked, 'Is Sonya your friend? You offered me $50,000, and you gave her the ticket to attend the event.' That was a slap in my face."
Growing up
Diddy's childhood friend, Tim Patterson, recounted his memories of growing up in Harlem, New York, with the aspiring musician. He stated that Janice Combs, Diddy's mother, would host parties where it was common to accidentally enter one of the bedrooms and witness a "butt-naked" couple.
"We were privy to that information, and it was what we were fed. Patterson said, 'Was it desensitizing us? I'm sure it was. Were we aware of it? No, that was just Saturday night.'"
Diddy's father, Melvin Early Combs, was a drug dealer who was allegedly caught selling drugs to an undercover officer and then was reportedly killed for talking to the police.
Diddy and his mother experienced a significant change in their lifestyle after his father's death, which left them with a substantial amount of money. However, this wealth made Diddy a target of bullying from his peers, who teased him for being a rich kid in school. Patterson and his mother eventually moved into the Combs' home at Janice's request.
Diddy was protected from bullies by Patterson, and the two frequently attended parties at his childhood home where they were exposed to alcohol and marijuana at a young age.
"Patterson stated that he was surrounded by various types of alcohol, reefer smoke, drug addicts, lesbians, homosexuals, pimps, and pushers. He added that this was just the group of people that were present in their home."
‘Dead wrong’
Gene Deal, Diddy's former bodyguard, asserted that Diddy "may have" played a role in the 1997 drive-by shooting death of The Notorious B.I.G.
The greatest rivalry in rap music remains unsolved nearly 30 years after the death of Tupac, who was killed in September 1996 while riding in a car driven by Suge Knight.
The death of Shakur in 1996 led to an increase in the intensity of the East Coast-West Coast rap rivalry, culminating in the murder of Notorious B.I.G. six months later in Los Angeles.
In 1993, Christopher Wallace, who was born in Brooklyn, signed with Bad Boy Records, a label owned by Diddy. His first album, "Ready to Die," sold more than 6 million copies. Additionally, his second album, "Life After Death," has sold 11 million copies.
On March 9, 1997, Biggie was killed in a drive-by shooting outside the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles at the age of 24.
Deal recalls the chaotic week leading up to Biggie's death and remembers the rapper stating that he had to be in London, while Diddy claimed he wouldn't be going there that entire week.
After Biggie's shooting, Deal recalled that Puff "grabbed my arm and said, 'Gene, we've got to pray.'"
"Diddy was stunned when he heard the news of Biggie's death. He had a look of disbelief in his eyes," Deal said.
Did Deal believe Diddy was directly responsible for Biggie's death? He replied, "I think he put B.I.G. in that atmosphere. So, did he have something to do with it? He could have."
In 2017, Combs admitted on "The Wendy Williams Show" that he would always feel a sense of responsibility because he is involved with Drake. He revealed that Drake was supposed to travel to London that night, but Combs convinced him to stay in Los Angeles instead. This decision has weighed heavily on Combs' conscience throughout his life.
