Let’s not beat around the bush. When a trailer drops with a title like Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, you know it’s going to be a wild experience. But when a distorted voice starts spilling secrets about scandalous behavior that makes your jaw hit the floor, you can’t help but wonder if this documentary might just be the stuff of legends—or nightmares.
There’s no sugarcoating it; Sean Combs has never been one to shy away from controversy. And with this latest Peacock project, it seems the world is finally going to get a raw, uncensored look into the rise of the mogul who always played by his own rules.
The documentary is about his early years, filled with unknowns, struggles, and plenty of unsavory tales.
Diddy’s documentary promises to expose shocking truths
Diddy, who built an empire out of his own brand, music, and the art of being everywhere at once, is now about to be the subject of a documentary. Peacock’s upcoming Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy is set to shine a light on the mogul’s past, but the thing is, the light might reveal more than anyone expects. And the early trailer promises to expose some shocking truths.
This 90-minute special is a deep dive into the life of Sean Combs, covering everything from his beginnings to his rise as a powerful figure in hip-hop, before he became known for his more infamous, headline-making antics. The Making of a Bad Boy isn’t just a look at his transformation into Puffy, then Diddy, but rather an investigation into the forces that shaped him into a man both admired and feared. The kicker?
Peacock isn’t holding back. The trailer kicks off with some serious revelations from those who were closest to him—his childhood friend, and former bodyguard. And don’t forget Al B. Sure!—the singer who once worked with Diddy and was in a relationship with Kim Porter before she and Diddy’s romance began. Expect never-before-seen footage of Diddy at parties, in the studio, and just being himself.
But here’s the thing: the documentary isn’t just about nostalgia or a behind-the-scenes look at a music mogul’s empire. It’s about pulling the curtain back on his criminal charges and multiple lawsuits, including a recent arrest for racketeering, s*x trafficking, and transportation for pr*stitution.
And fans? As always, they’re quick to weigh in. Some are stunned by the title and its implications, while others joke that they’re only tuning in to see which celebrities might be tied into all the drama. Let’s have a look at a few comments:
Nobody cares about the documentary. Everyone just wants the list to come out of all the trash celebrities involved!

Shocking allegations and chilling revelations in new Diddy documentary trailer
The trailer teases shocking allegations that give more than just a glimpse of what’s to come. One anonymous person recalls disturbing scenes from the studio (via US Weekly):
These are heavy accusations, ones that even attorney Lisa Bloom, representing Dawn Richards in a civil s*xual assault lawsuit, does not shy away from calling Diddy a “monster” in the trailer. Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy is a raw, unfiltered look into the complexities of celebrity, power, and the price one pays for both. As Diddy himself states in a snippet from the trailer,
It’s an eerie line, especially when considering the criminal charges Diddy currently faces. Arrested in September 2024, he has pleaded not guilty, but his legal battle is far from over.
And as we approach his trial, due to begin in May 2025, the situation is more tense than ever. One source close to Diddy told Us Weekly that he’s been “lining up character witnesses” while in jail, trying to stay positive amid what’s clearly the most difficult time in his life.
