Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy

Now streaming on Showmax, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy is a raw, exclusive look at Sean Combs long before he was known as Puff or Diddy.

Featuring never-before-seen footage and stories from those who know him best, Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boysheds light on his childhood, rise to fame, and recent criminal allegations, challenging viewers to rethink everything they thought they knew about the mogul behind the music – and the mugshot.

Combs’ trial, which ran from May to July 2025, saw the music mogul being acquitted of sex trafficking, but charged with transporting people for prostitution, which is a federal felony.

Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy is the #1 Peacock original documentary film of all time among adults aged 18-49 and total viewers.

AP reports that Combs is suing for $100m in damages over the documentary.
