‘P Diddy: The Rise and Fall’ Doc Coming To BBC
Written by djfrosty on April 24, 2025
A new documentary has been announced by the BBC titled P Diddy: The Rise and Fall, which will examine the life and current circumstances of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Yinka Bokinni will serve as the lead journalist investigating the finer points of Combs’ status, from being a mogul to where he currently stands, as he faces a legal battle for the ages.
The BBC announced that the upcoming documentary will undoubtedly bring into focus the fame, power, and influence that Combs gained over the years as the head of Bad Boy Records and producing several hit songs for artists under his guidance. The documentary will also peer behind the veil and reveal how Combs allegedly used his stature to control others, dole out violent threats, along with countless reports of sexual assault and abuse.
Combs will face trial next month over charges related to racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, among other heinous claims. Combs and his legal team have claimed that their side is innocent despite mounting complaints filed by accusers.
In a statement, Bokinni said, “My job is to tell stories—but never did I imagine I’d be telling this one. Investigating the alleged actions of Diddy has forced a spotlight onto the darker side of an industry so many of us dream of belonging to. We sang his songs, bought into the lifestyle, watched the shows and wanted more. This has been an emotional, sometimes difficult experience. And with a trial on the horizon, what happens next will no doubt be gripping—in the most sobering way.”
P Diddy: The Rise and Fall airs this coming Monday (April 28) on BBC Three and Player. Learn more here.
