Sean “Diddy” Combs is forcefully pushing back against explosive allegations tied to a Peacock documentary, filing a $100 million lawsuit against NBCUniversal Media, Peacock TV, and Ample Entertainment while issuing a sworn statement denying involvement in several high-profile deaths and criminal accusations.
According to court filings, the Bad Boy Records founder signed the statement under penalty of perjury as part of his legal battle against the documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. Combs claims the project falsely portrayed him as a violent criminal mastermind, alleging the film suggested he orchestrated multiple deaths to silence critics and potential rivals.
In the filing, Combs directly addressed several longstanding conspiracy theories tied to major figures in hip-hop and entertainment.
“I was not involved in the death of Kimberly Porter,” Combs stated, referencing his former partner and the mother of three of his children. Porter died in 2018, with officials ruling her death the result of pneumonia.
Combs also denied any connection to the deaths of music industry executive Andre Harrell and rapper Heavy D. The statement further addressed one of hip-hop’s most notorious tragedies, the 1997 killing of Christopher “The Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace.
“I was not involved in the murder of Christopher Wallace,” Combs said in the sworn declaration. He also rejected allegations that he attempted to harm singer Al B. Sure.
Beyond the claims tied to deaths, Combs denied accusations involving sexual misconduct and trafficking. In the filing, he stated, “I did not have sex with, or sex traffic, underage girls,” while also rejecting claims that he used explicit recordings to manipulate or control others.
“I have never used sex tapes as a means to extort or influence anyone,” the statement continued.
Combs’ legal team argues the documentary was produced recklessly, alleging filmmakers rushed the project to compete with Netflix’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which was released around the same time. According to the lawsuit, the production relied heavily on questionable sources, including singer Al B. Sure, YouTuber Jaguar Wright, and Combs’ former bodyguard Gene Deal.
The filing also disputes claims made by an anonymous source who alleged he recruited underage girls for Combs, arguing the filmmakers failed to properly verify those accusations.
Additionally, Combs’ attorneys claim the documentary minimized official medical findings surrounding Porter’s death, noting that while pneumonia was confirmed as the cause, the film allegedly gave greater attention to conspiracy theories.
NBCUniversal has responded by defending the documentary, arguing it covers matters of public interest and claiming Combs’ reputation had already been significantly damaged prior to the film’s release.
A judge has not yet ruled on NBCUniversal’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit as the legal battle continues.
