A new docuseries charting the fall of artist Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs from his mogul-status reign over the rap industry is officially in the works. Investigation Discovery (ID), the true crime network responsible for exposing the dark truth of children’s network Nickelodeon Peace on the set, is leading this project.
Maxine Productions, the producers of this disturbing reality check, is also set to lift the lid on the alleged horrific acts committed by the Bad Boy Records founder, as outlined in a recently unsealed indictment that charges him with three counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or duress, conspiracy to commit racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
ID’s press release confirmed that the as-yet-untitled project “will examine allegations of predatory behavior and illegal activity that have been leveled at the music legend. As allegations of sexual assault, abusive behavior, and other disturbing claims emerge, the doc traces the story of this self-proclaimed bad boy, exposing allegations of a pattern of immorality.”

The announcement comes after it was revealed a few months ago that Netflix had won a “bidding war” for a different docuseries — now reportedly titled “Diddy Does It?” — produced by Diddy’s rap game rival, Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson.
When is the new Diddy doc releasing?
The multi-part ID project is set to premiere in 2025. Along with the TV network, Max will release it for streaming. More details are yet to be announced,
The currently untitled Diddy documentary will open the room to the alleged victims, with Rolling Stone reporting on the story. Archival footage will also add contextual depth to the narrative. The project has garnered a production partnership between Maxine Productions and IPC, in association with Rolling Stone Films.
What does the indictment against Sean Combs say?
Following recent developments in the case and Combs’ arrest on Monday, his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has repeatedly denied all allegations and said his client is innocent and not guilty.
Federal indictments released Tuesday morning revealed what was found following raids at the Revolt founder’s Los Angeles and Miami locations in March. Authorities revealed in the complaint that Diddy’s home “recovered a variety of freak-out supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.” In addition, ammunition was recovered from him, including three AR-15s with “defaced serial numbers” and a drum magazine.

The charges, leveled in 2008, claim the ‘Bad Boy for Life’ “engaged in a sustained and pervasive pattern of abuse towards women and other individuals.” It is also believed he relied on intimidation and manipulation of those who may have witnessed his alleged wrongdoings in order to “protect his reputation.”
Combs’ vast business empire is also apparently complicit in these crimes, due to its alleged illegal involvement in acts of “intimidation, manipulation, bribery and threats of retaliation” to ensure “absolute loyalty” from witnesses.
The indictment also paints a disturbing picture of the drug- and sex-filled parties hosted by Diddy, where he would allegedly “hit, kick, throw objects at victims, and sometimes pull their hair,” leaving them with injuries that “took days or weeks to heal.”
