An explosive new documentary containing disturbing allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs is coming to Peacock.
On Thursday, Jan. 2, Peacock released a trailer about the new documentary, called Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy.
Premiering Tuesday, Jan. 14, the 90-minute Peacock original tells the story of the meteoric rise of the famed music mogul — and his precipitous fall.
“Sean Combs is a monster,” attorney Lisa Bloom, who represents some of Combs’ accusers, says in the trailer, shown below.
Arrested in September 2024, the rapper was charged by federal authorities in New York with alleged sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He is also accused of sexual assault in a number of civil suits.
The documentary tells the story of Combs’ early years “and his decades-long transformation to Puffy and then to Diddy, with crucial insight into the forces that shaped the man,” according to a Peacock press release.
It includes exclusive interviews with Combs’ inner circle. Viewers will hear from one of Combs’ former bodyguards, a childhood friend, an intern and a winner of Combs’ one-time hit show, Making the Band.
They will also hear from singer, songwriter and producer Al B. Sure!, who was Combs’ label mate at Uptown Records, who speaks out for the first time about Combs’ relationship with the late Kim Porter, with whom Sure was in a relationship before she started dating Combs.
She is the mother of Sure’s son, Quincy Taylor Brown, 33. Porter is also the mother of three of Combs’ children, Christian Combs, 26, and twins Jessie Combs and D’Lila Combs, both 18.
Porter died of lobar pneumonia in 2018.
The special also includes exclusive, never-before-seen footage of Combs partying, at home and in the studio – and details about exactly what allegedly went on in Combs’ world.

“Any time a studio or any room is red, he’s making love and sex,” one unidentified man alleges in the trailer. “Some of the girls who were in the room, for sure, they were underage.”
Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains jailed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Combs’ legal team wrote: “These 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. Sean Combs unequivocally denies these false allegations, which are harmful, defamatory, and unsupported by credible evidence. It is deeply concerning how such narratives can influence public perception and prejudice the legal process. Mr. Combs deserves his day in court with an impartial jury, free from the taint of these baseless claims. The facts will be addressed in court, where truth—not fiction — will prevail.”
Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy streams on Peacock beginning Jan. 14.
