00:00:00Things are happening, and it's like, I want to fight for my life.
00:00:12I want to fight for, you know, justice, not guilty.
00:00:15I want to have a life to be able to live.
00:00:18You know, it's really going to be hard for me to take more hits
00:00:21than I take it, God forbid, get in front of a jury and have a chance.
00:00:27And so I'm having this emergency call because something has to give.
00:00:31We need the core theme to be, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:00:35You know, you didn't do anything wrong on any front.
00:00:37And you've come to New York to face things head on.
00:00:41If anyone's ever paying any attention to what you've actually been doing,
00:00:45you've handled this with complete honor.
00:00:49I don't think it's working. I've listened.
00:00:53I've been a superb client, as you said.
00:00:56I jumped on the plane. I'm coming to New York.
00:00:58But I'm just like, I'm just running around waiting for a shooter drop.
00:01:05We're losing sight of the big picture, man.
00:01:08It's the middle of September and there's still no indictment.
00:01:11That's...
00:01:12Don't go! Then you have to have a spokesman.
00:01:15You have to have some sort of comms to constantly be pushing that mark.
00:01:19Because you may just be a person that just does...
00:01:21You just may watch CNN.
00:01:23You know what I'm saying?
00:01:24And there's like, there's 9 billion people in the world.
00:01:26And 7 billion of them is on Instagram and TikTok.
00:01:31And so you at the wrong place looking to see what the people with the possible jurors are thinking.
00:01:37We have to find somebody that'll work with us, whether they're from this country or from another country.
00:01:43It could be somebody that has dealt in the dirtiest, dirtiest, dirty business of media and propaganda.
00:01:52I've seen the media portray me like I'm a gangster.
00:01:57I'm a...
00:01:59Or at times I'm a cold individual.
00:02:02Or I'm just a shrewd businessman.
00:02:05Which is just not the case.
00:02:11I'm a dreamer.
00:02:12I love closing my eyes and dreaming.
00:02:14I don't really deal with reality.
00:02:16You know, I think that you're a great guy, a great role model.
00:02:18Diddy P Papa, Papa Diddy Pop.
00:02:21I'm sorry, I don't know what you're calling yourself these days.
00:02:23American dream come true. Thank you, America.
00:02:27It's like we have a movie.
00:02:28You're speaking this language.
00:02:30And you know what I'm saying?
00:02:31We need subtitles.
00:02:32And we're not providing the audience with subtitles.
00:02:34And I invited you to this movie and you in this thing.
00:02:37You don't know what's going on.
00:02:38You just see...
00:02:40You just see the images, you know, quickly.
00:02:47Now, it has a whole life of its own.
00:02:50The Department of Homeland Security conducting a raid at a house connected to Sean...
00:02:55Breaking news, another woman is accusing Sean Diddy Holmes of sexual assault.
00:02:58Trafficking forced labor, kidnapping...
00:03:00The fourth lawsuit in the last five weeks...
00:03:02The fifth lawsuit...
00:03:03The seventh lawsuit...
00:03:04There are now more than a dozen civil...
00:03:05Conduct that does indeed span two decades.
00:03:07I'm taking eight nuclear bombs, you know what I'm saying?
00:03:11Straight to the head.
00:03:12And I'm tired of going back and forth with y'all, with the lawyers.
00:03:16That's just not true.
00:03:17Okay, so, so, so, so, so, so...
00:03:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:03:21Let me tell you something.
00:03:22Let me say this.
00:03:23I'm not a referee.
00:03:26So, I'm going to get off the phone right now.
00:03:28Listen to me.
00:03:29I'm going to get off the phone right now.
00:03:31And I am going to let you professionals look at the situation...
00:03:35And come back to me with a solution.
00:03:37No matter what, no matter what nobody said.
00:03:39Let's, let's just...
00:03:40Here and there, y'all are not working together the right way.
00:03:42We're losing.
00:04:12Now, Patrick.
00:04:13Yeah, man.
00:04:14Just get little cutaways of them, like, looking from the...
00:04:31You know what I'm saying?
00:04:32That's what you mean.
00:04:33All of us got to go to the maker and we will be held accountable for the things we did
00:04:54and we didn't do.
00:04:57Sean Combs is an asshole.
00:05:01He is the motherfucker you're not going to like and you're not going to get the fuck
00:05:05along with if he doesn't get his way.
00:05:07Whatever this is like, nobody's down with me, motherfucker.
00:05:10He quickly became my hero.
00:05:12Whatever I want, I'm going to get.
00:05:14Whatever I want, I have to get.
00:05:16If y'all had a fucking chance to meet this guy...
00:05:21Yes!
00:05:22You would be like, this nigga's energy is everything.
00:05:25I got to get up and go.
00:05:26I got to get up and do it.
00:05:28What's next?
00:05:30What's next?
00:05:31I got to get it.
00:05:32I'm not going to stay fucking down.
00:05:35He was presenting this freedom that black people hadn't had.
00:05:40Like, we hadn't experienced a black man being able to say, I don't want that.
00:05:44I don't want no problems, bitch.
00:05:45Come on.
00:05:46Hey, yo, Doug.
00:05:47What are you talking about?
00:05:48You telling me, like, I'm on some bullshit?
00:05:49I ain't doing no bullshit with you.
00:05:51So when I first met him, he quickly became the guy I wanted to be like.
00:05:58When you're a leader in that way, it's admirable until you get to the point where you want to control everyone around you.
00:06:06He got to that point.
00:06:09What y'all wanna do?
00:06:10Wanna be ballers, shot callers, brawlers.
00:06:14It's like Scarface the movie.
00:06:16I want the world and everything that's in it.
00:06:19But you got everything.
00:06:21Ayo, New York, we fucking did it.
00:06:24Harlem, we did it.
00:06:26Montana, we did it.
00:06:27There was a mantra that Sean had.
00:06:30Nobody's gonna be bigger than me.
00:06:33Sean is the 1% of the 1% of the 1%.
00:06:36We'll never see a Sean in my lifetime again.
00:06:39Ever.
00:06:40It was like the more money he got, the more power he got, the more power he got, the more money he got.
00:06:48And he always felt like money can get him out of everything.
00:06:52I do feel it's important that we let the public know, from the juror's standpoint, just kind of how we reached the verdict.
00:07:03It's not everything that the media has put it out to be.
00:07:08You wanna put stuff in my fanny bag, King?
00:07:11He's creating a narrative always.
00:07:14He is the best storyteller in hip hop.
00:07:21He thinks he's black Superman.
00:07:23I can do what I want.
00:07:25You can't go on for long in life doing the things that he was doing before something eventually happens.
00:07:31You can't continue to keep hurting people and nothing ever happens.
00:07:38It's just a matter of time.
00:07:43Is it good to be back in New York?
00:07:44It's always good to be back in New York.
00:07:45Once upon a time, not long ago, when people wore pajamas and lived life slow, where laws were stern and justice stood, and people were behaving like they ought to good.
00:08:02How you change the kids on here?
00:08:03Right, come on.
00:08:04The little boy who was misled by another little boy, and this is what he said.
00:08:05Me and you tonight, we're gonna make some cash, robbing old folks and making the dance.
00:08:22I was there from the very beginning with the invention of Sean Combs.
00:08:29I co-founded Bad Boy with Sean.
00:08:34I was dazzled by his ideas and his unique talent.
00:08:41But he was a very different Sean Combs back then.
00:08:48Sean was 19 when he dropped out of Howard University.
00:08:53He wanted to be in the flashy, swaggy music industry.
00:09:02He started off dancing, wanting to be in videos.
00:09:10He wanted to be a pop culture mover and shaker at a time where things were changing.
00:09:17Hip-hop was evolving.
00:09:21Like it or not, rap is here to stay.
00:09:24It has become part of mainstream commerce.
00:09:27It was just explosive.
00:09:30Run DMC, Chaos One, Public Enemy, Rock Heaven.
00:09:37The late 80s, it was fantastic.
00:09:42There were a lot of independent labels that gave birth to hip-hop in the way that we know it today.
00:09:50What is this new music?
00:09:52Like Uptown Records.
00:09:57Heavy D was the biggest rapper signed to Uptown.
00:10:07Excuse me.
00:10:08We got Heavy D in the house with us today.
00:10:10Thanks for coming down.
00:10:11You could be with the hardest cats in the hood.
00:10:13You could rock Heavy D.
00:10:14You're with your grandmother in the car.
00:10:15You ain't got to reach for the radio and turn it off.
00:10:18We call him the official mayor of Money Earned, Mount Vernon.
00:10:23Money Earned, Mount Vernon, Vernon, Vernon.
00:10:28Mount Vernon is in Westchester County, the first city outside of the Bronx.
00:10:35Heavy D put that area on the map.
00:10:39Heavy D and the boys.
00:10:41And his influence reached all the young people in the neighborhood, including the young Sean Combs, who was at Mount St. Michael High School, a Catholic, private school.
00:10:56He would knock on Heavy D's door every day to see if Heavy would take him to meet Andre Harrell.
00:11:07Andre was the champagne of rap, and he took the streets to Wall Street.
00:11:15The only entrance into hip-hop at that point was Andre Harrell and Russell Simmons, into the corporate hip-hop world, into the money.
00:11:24Sean had impressed Andre enough to give him an internship, and that was the beginning.
00:11:33I worked with Sean as an intern at Uptown.
00:11:37I'm gonna picture, I'm gonna lay it out for you.
00:11:39When you thought of Uptown records, you thought of Heavy D, and I'll be sure.
00:11:44I can tell you how I feel about your mind today.
00:11:50I was the first number one artist on the Billboard charts on Uptown, and the first platinum artist on the Uptown label.
00:11:59He was a GQ nigga, you know, he was a real penny loafers type.
00:12:03He was one of them fly light-skinned niggas, and girls loved him.
00:12:08It's ours so much!
00:12:11Al was dating Kim.
00:12:16Kim Porter.
00:12:18Kim is at the receptionist desk at Uptown.
00:12:21You get out the elevator, first person you see is Kim.
00:12:26And it was a beautiful sight.
00:12:28Everybody said that, you know what I mean?
00:12:30But when Sean saw Kim, it was different.
00:12:36And now Sean's always at the receptionist desk begging Kim for something.
00:12:42A date, a kiss.
00:12:44He put it all on the table for Kim.
00:12:49It was weird, it was weird in the air because everyone knew this was Al's girl.
00:12:53Al is hot as fish grease right now.
00:12:56Hi, this is Al B. Shore.
00:12:58Here's my exclusive number.
00:13:00Two dollars for the first minute, 45 cents for each additional minute.
00:13:04And Sean was not really, like, the catch.
00:13:09He didn't drink alcohol.
00:13:11He forbade marijuana.
00:13:12He did not like drugs.
00:13:14He had the Gumby and he looked like a scholastic dweeb.
00:13:20But Sean was so determined.
00:13:23Yo, I bet you I could get Kim.
00:13:24And he was like, nah, no way.
00:13:27Your weight ain't even up enough yet.
00:13:30But when Sean wants something, he's gonna get it.
00:13:33It might be a couple of years from now.
00:13:35But sooner or later, he's gonna get it.
00:13:40Andre Harrell, Heavy D, Al B. Shore.
00:13:44They had all the money and all the power.
00:13:46And I was like, I don't know what they did, but that's what I want to do.
00:13:51I got to Uptown a few months after Sean did.
00:13:55And I saw him being built into cool.
00:13:59We had to go through the Uptown flavor camp.
00:14:06I learned a lot quickly.
00:14:08Being in front of Willie Burgers on the hump 45th and 84.
00:14:11Being at the rooftop.
00:14:12Let's get it going. Rooftop!
00:14:13The fashion.
00:14:15The walk.
00:14:16The talk.
00:14:17The attitude.
00:14:18The drive.
00:14:19The determination.
00:14:20I was ready to do whatever it took to win.
00:14:23The young Sean Combs during that time, he was so tenacious.
00:14:27You would ask him to turn Wednesday into Tuesday.
00:14:30He would set about doing it.
00:14:32First task we had given him was just go get a tape ten blocks away.
00:14:38He came back in two minutes or something crazy.
00:14:40And I remember I was on the phone and I looked up when he came back.
00:14:43I was like, how'd you get there so fast?
00:14:46And he said, I ran there and back.
00:14:49Right there and there I said, oh, okay.
00:14:52Yeah.
00:14:53I should have known then that that was never going to stop.
00:14:57To run there and run back.
00:14:59He ingratiated himself to Andre and made himself very valuable.
00:15:04Something that you don't want to do without.
00:15:07Like, who's going to get my clothes?
00:15:08Who's going to armor on my tire?
00:15:10This is so convenient.
00:15:12Then they lived together.
00:15:15I bought the first million dollar house.
00:15:17Funny, that weekend, just before I moved in, he had a mysterious fight with his mother.
00:15:22And he said, I can't go home.
00:15:24I got to stay here with you.
00:15:26Pup moved in before I did.
00:15:30Andre is taking him under like a son.
00:15:33Andre is the very first patriarch he connected with.
00:15:37Sean grew up with the illusion of what masculinity looks like.
00:15:44My first encounter with Sean, I remember it like yesterday.
00:15:47My family, we rented the first floor of Sean's house.
00:15:52I was my mom and dad's only child.
00:15:55So now Sean has somebody to brother up with.
00:15:58We experienced a lot of firsts together.
00:16:02I taught him how to ride a bike.
00:16:04It was the best thing in my life to let go of the bike and him start riding.
00:16:08We fit so well.
00:16:10Sean was another misfit, just like me.
00:16:13But the difference in my household, my dad taught me right from wrong.
00:16:17No, Sean, Sean didn't have that.
00:16:19Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce my mother, Janice Combs.
00:16:23What were the primary jobs that you did to support your family?
00:16:39I did so many jobs at one time.
00:16:41I worked at the United Civil Policy.
00:16:44I worked at the Board of Ed in Westchester County.
00:16:49I drive the school bus.
00:16:50I worked in the baby's boutique shop.
00:16:53And he never knew this.
00:16:55I worked in the after-hour spot too.
00:16:57I have to come clean.
00:17:00I needed to come clean.
00:17:03I made more money because the men thought I was very glamorous and I used to pour liquor.
00:17:13And they'd give me big tips.
00:17:16In Sean's house, there was Janice and there was Sean.
00:17:21My father's name is Melvin Combs.
00:17:24I didn't get a chance to get to know him.
00:17:26I was too young.
00:17:27My father, his brain's blown out like on Central Park West.
00:17:31I did the research.
00:17:33They said my mother had brought me to the funeral on a full-length chinchilla.
00:17:39It was like a sigh of relief, you know what I'm saying?
00:17:43Because I finally knew that what I was feeling was true.
00:17:46You know what I'm saying?
00:17:47That I was a son of a hustler or a gangster.
00:17:50Melvin's presence was there.
00:17:52His money was there.
00:17:54And I understood that Melvin made a lot of things possible.
00:17:59But Sean's mom was his everything.
00:18:03If you look at some of the early pictures that Janice has of Sean, she was always making him into something.
00:18:13The hats, fur coats.
00:18:18I think she tried to overcompensate for the father being gone by making him into this dandy.
00:18:28Everything associated with Sean was Harlem.
00:18:33Whoever was flying Harlem, that's what he was as a child.
00:18:37Janet, she'd always be in Harlem.
00:18:40And there were times where she'd bring us.
00:18:43Here we are in this brand new Cadillac, because that's all Janet drove.
00:18:51She's making stops.
00:18:53Here and there.
00:18:54You know, we knew the rule, the drill.
00:18:56Just sit there, I'll be right back.
00:18:57She ain't turn the car off.
00:18:59Nobody took the car.
00:19:02No.
00:19:03So you knew there was a different vibe going on with this family.
00:19:08In his household, the groove was a little different.
00:19:13A lot of Donna Summer playing.
00:19:16And then we had these movies we'd watch.
00:19:18He's got to be number one.
00:19:20This genre of films called black exploitation.
00:19:23Superdew.
00:19:24You had Superfly.
00:19:25Superfly.
00:19:27You had the Mac.
00:19:28When you got nothing, you want everything.
00:19:31You got a gift to be the Mac.
00:19:34Their parts were hustler parts.
00:19:39In Sean's household, you start to see all the stuff that you saw in the movies.
00:19:45Janice knew how to throw a party.
00:19:50And the party's packed.
00:19:52You got the ladies that look like they're straight out of a Jet magazine.
00:19:57Some brothers up there.
00:19:58You know, if you want to call them pimps, you can.
00:20:00If you want to call them hustlers, you can.
00:20:02You got a member of the New York Knicks.
00:20:05Or two.
00:20:09There was a stage in her living room.
00:20:11Literally a stage.
00:20:12And that's where we used to have to go and dance.
00:20:17And everybody's calling you baby.
00:20:19And everybody's saying do that dance.
00:20:27And all of this stuff he's taken in.
00:20:29So from the movie screen to the home screen, these are the makings of Sean Combs.
00:20:43Now mind you, as a child, Sean was goofy.
00:20:46Kids would pick on him a lot around the block.
00:20:49And he didn't know how to defend himself.
00:20:52Sean was a prince.
00:20:55And Janice, she didn't want no princess.
00:20:58She held back nothing.
00:21:01You've said I would be 12 years old.
00:21:04And sometimes I'd be out until 3, 4 in the morning.
00:21:07James, James, we don't have to get into that right now.
00:21:08Ma'am?
00:21:12He got a lot of beatings too.
00:21:15His beatings made me scared.
00:21:19Right?
00:21:21I got beatings now.
00:21:23But when he got his beatings, it wasn't no...
00:21:27It wasn't a choking thing.
00:21:30Nah.
00:21:32Damn, I hate thinking about that, man.
00:21:39My mother was, I guess, raising me for the real world.
00:21:42She was always told me if somebody hit me, make sure I hit them back harder.
00:21:46Make sure they never hit me again.
00:21:48Make sure I fucked them up.
00:21:50You know how you hear your mom's voice in your ear?
00:21:54Boy?
00:21:56You better...
00:21:58Boy?
00:22:00Sean started fighting.
00:22:01He started stepping up.
00:22:04But Sean don't fight like this.
00:22:06Sean's gonna bite you.
00:22:08He's gonna eat your ear off.
00:22:10He's gonna cut your neck open with his mouth.
00:22:13He's not losing.
00:22:19I know people are shaped by pain.
00:22:22As well as by love.
00:22:24And if it was more pain than love, watch out.
00:22:27There's gonna be pain that you're gonna give others.
00:22:33Cause you're responding to that pain that you just can't seem to cut out of you.
00:22:39I didn't know much about him.
00:22:53I know that he had a big ego.
00:22:55A big ego.
00:22:58I met him around 89, 90.
00:23:02My job was to promote music videos.
00:23:05And Puffy, he was always doing the party promotion so he's always like handing out the flyers.
00:23:10At the time I was working with Andre Harrell.
00:23:13He wasn't paying me enough so I had to promote parties on the side.
00:23:16Which was all good, you know what I'm saying?
00:23:18Daddy's house.
00:23:20He was savvy enough to promote parties.
00:23:22They were the most successful parties at that time.
00:23:25But they were all about promoting himself.
00:23:27One of the brothers that put the party together is my man, Puffy's daddy.
00:23:32Really it was no problem cause all my black brothers and sisters came together like my man took you fresh.
00:23:36All the beautiful women out here, we came together just to have a good time.
00:23:40I went to a party for a good friend.
00:23:46It was getting very late.
00:23:47Puffy is like, oh, you know I'm having an after party.
00:23:52At Andre Harrell's house.
00:23:56Andre Harrell wasn't there, he was out of town.
00:24:03People were tracking mud through the house and I remember at the end of the night I was helping clean up the mud.
00:24:10Puffy is like very polite, you know, thanking me for helping him.
00:24:15And he asked me, oh wow, I just got this call, you know, someone, this girl backed out of this music video, you know, can you do it?
00:24:24And I was like, I don't do music videos.
00:24:28But this party was in New Jersey and I needed a ride back to Manhattan.
00:24:35So I went along.
00:24:40And I never forget, I had the same clothes on that I had from the night before.
00:24:46The music video was called Straight From The Soul by Finesse and Sinquist.
00:24:53The whole premise was for me to jump out the car and go with these girls and get away from the pimp guy.
00:24:59Nice clothes in a car doesn't make you a star.
00:25:02You can't talk positive and do the opposite.
00:25:05Cause then you're labeled as a hypocrite.
00:25:07You can't be righteous, throw a party to flip.
00:25:09Sniff and snow, drink and drive and hide your sister strip.
00:25:12You know what that looks like to your people?
00:25:13A big discreet.
00:25:15Dying sisters don't want to look you in your face.
00:25:17Wanting to be a pimp brother?
00:25:18Your heart ain't that cold.
00:25:20And this is Straight From The Soul.
00:25:21The soul.
00:25:22The soul.
00:25:27Was there ever a time that Sean Combs sexually assaulted you?
00:25:32assaulted you yes someone called me up and told me that um he said you know he
00:25:42has you know video and I was like what and that's when he um it's described it
00:25:51and explained it
00:26:02I I just want to say this this thing was incredibly devastating to my family
00:26:18my mother she's a social worker we don't have money the thing
00:26:26that we had was our pride
00:26:34we carried ourselves well we were pretty we were intelligent this is the basis of what I had
00:26:46self-respect my mother wrote a letter to Combs parents
00:26:53I just found this recently
00:26:58can I read it
00:27:02dear mr. and mrs. Combs
00:27:07I'm writing you to inform you of something that your son did to my daughter
00:27:17one weekend while visiting my daughter I woke to her screaming in the middle of the night
00:27:24she told me that she was dreaming about puffy
00:27:29I asked her why she was screaming and who is this puffy person that he would cause her to have
00:27:38nightmares
00:27:39I was shocked and mortified to hear her story
00:27:43she told me that several people have come to her to inform her that your son has made an obscene
00:27:52videotape of her
00:27:54without her knowledge he videotaped him doing something sexual to her
00:28:01apparently your son shows these tapes at parties on large screen televisions
00:28:10I realize that this may be hard for you to believe
00:28:16but if I hadn't heard this story from my daughter's own mouth and looked into her eyes
00:28:22I would have scarcely believed that any individual
00:28:26would compromise another person's dignity in this manner
00:28:31I approached a lot of people for help
00:28:43I got things like
00:28:48what do you want me to do about it
00:28:51to
00:28:52if I help you I can't get into his parties
00:28:55Puff Daddy from Puff Daddy's house
00:29:00what's up
00:29:01what's up
00:29:01and we revolutionized the hip-hop club scene this year
00:29:05why would you want to do that
00:29:09drug and rape the girl
00:29:12tape it
00:29:14and then put it up on the screen
00:29:17here's my theory
00:29:20Alpo Martinez
00:29:24drug lord
00:29:26famous
00:29:27Harlem street
00:29:28tough guy
00:29:29hung out at the rooftop
00:29:31once again I'd like to welcome you and yours in the rooftop
00:29:33Alpo had a lot of girls
00:29:35and
00:29:37he would tape girls
00:29:38that he was having sex with
00:29:40and then on a Saturday night
00:29:42he might bring his camera
00:29:43and put it on the wall
00:29:45and everyone knows that's so-and-so's girl
00:29:48what Sean saw was
00:29:55I want to be looked upon
00:29:56in that way
00:29:58as someone that has that type of stature
00:30:00all his life
00:30:03he's been trying to honor a man
00:30:05he believed it was
00:30:07a famous Harlem gangster
00:30:08and
00:30:10that gave his father
00:30:12a mythic
00:30:13presence
00:30:14people like Alpo
00:30:17he looked at those guys
00:30:19with a certain amount of jealousy
00:30:20or envy
00:30:21a certain amount of respect
00:30:23and there's a certain amount of desire
00:30:26that thing was in him from there
00:30:30did you ever
00:30:37confront Sean about him?
00:30:39I did
00:30:40I avoided him
00:30:43for a very long time
00:30:44I ran into him one day
00:30:47he came to me
00:30:50he got on his knees
00:30:53and swore he did not do this thing to me
00:30:56and denied it
00:30:59and that is the very last time I talked to him
00:31:07we fucking did it
00:31:10let's go

00:34:01when it went down in history
00:34:02there were lines
00:34:08and lines

00:39:19when we make love
00:39:22Jodeci
00:39:23it's like a dream
00:39:25they sing for Andre

00:39:35of Jodeci
00:39:35hopefully to make
00:39:37hits
00:39:37hits
00:39:38hits
00:39:39Andre put his
00:39:41trust with Sean
00:39:42as opposed to the artist
00:39:44he told us
00:39:47I don't care who the artist is
00:39:49you're more important
00:39:50than them
00:39:51the artist don't work
00:39:53without you
00:39:53what would be the ideal
00:39:55musical setting for y'all
00:39:56I guess we're falling in front
00:39:57like millions of people
00:39:58you know
00:39:58you have to be able
00:39:59to control everything
00:40:01I basically style
00:40:03and come up with the images
00:40:05and design most of the clothing
00:40:06for all of the artists
00:40:07it was him that put
00:40:09Jodeci in the pants
00:40:11baggy sagging at the bottom
00:40:13the boots not lacing it up
00:40:15he is able to sponge
00:40:17from the community
00:40:18and the culture
00:40:19and package it
00:40:21and in the studio
00:40:24he did the same thing
00:40:25Sean wasn't a producer
00:40:28where he can tell you
00:40:29you need a C here
00:40:31a C note
00:40:32or this is an F
00:40:33but he did have a good ear
00:40:36for what could be a hit
00:40:37let me give you an example
00:40:39let's get it going
00:40:40rooftop
00:40:40at the rooftop
00:40:41in Harlem
00:40:42the DJ Brucey B
00:40:44would mix
00:40:45acapellas from R&B songs
00:40:47with hard hip hop beats
00:40:50and it drove the kids
00:40:54crazy at the clubs
00:40:56that's what Sean did
00:40:58with Jodeci
00:40:59on those remixes
00:41:00it was very minimal
00:41:03it was very hard beat
00:41:04and snare
00:41:05no melody
00:41:06come and talk to me
00:41:09my baby
00:41:10I really wanna meet you
00:41:12Jodeci's record
00:41:14started climbing the charts
00:41:15here we go
00:41:16Jodeci
00:41:17go Jodeci
00:41:18go
00:41:18Sean turned that
00:41:19into the blueprint
00:41:20for his special brand
00:41:22of A&R
00:41:23and then the next artist
00:41:25to benefit from that
00:41:26was Mary J. Blige
00:41:27Mary's what's the 411
00:41:34was out the box
00:41:35then tomorrow
00:41:36you gotta do this video shoot
00:41:38the hat pulled out
00:41:40the mysteriousness
00:41:41it had a little bit
00:41:42of a darkness
00:41:43and moodiness
00:41:44to it as well
00:41:45all of that
00:41:47was groundbreaking
00:41:48he launched
00:41:51a female artist
00:41:53in a male-dominated
00:41:54hip-hop era
00:41:55who became
00:41:59an instant success
00:42:00and that created
00:42:03hip-hop soul
00:42:04Mary became the owner
00:42:06of that sound
00:42:07Sean was making
00:42:14the hits happen
00:42:14and the visuals
00:42:15happen
00:42:16in 1992

00:43:00we became friends
00:43:01I thought it was
00:43:04a general friendship
00:43:05until I see
00:43:07that this game
00:43:08is being played
00:43:09you got an agenda
00:43:11Misa
00:43:13he was trying to
00:43:16court her
00:43:17after we broke up
00:43:18Sean wants her
00:43:20because Eric
00:43:22was that dude
00:43:23it was about
00:43:25I got her
00:43:26I won her over
00:43:27from him
00:43:28he had to have
00:43:31the girl
00:43:31and Sean has a way
00:43:34about
00:43:35when he gets you
00:43:36he got you
00:43:37he got you

00:43:41me and Misa
00:43:44was just friends
00:43:46but he wanted
00:43:47to make sure
00:43:48that there was
00:43:50no calling
00:43:51and me being
00:43:52friends with that girl
00:43:53Sean's jealousy
00:43:56it got to the point
00:43:57where he would
00:43:57put his hands on her
00:43:58right outside
00:44:01of Uptown Records
00:44:02they're fighting
00:44:03in the street
00:44:04and he's beating her
00:44:05into the car well
00:44:06she's on the ground
00:44:09and people are
00:44:13pulling him off
00:44:13of her
00:44:14and separating her
00:44:15a year or two
00:44:18later
00:44:19they're still together
00:44:20and Justin is born
00:44:22when he invited me
00:44:30to be
00:44:30the godfather
00:44:31of his first son
00:44:32I was able
00:44:35to push that
00:44:35in the back
00:44:36of my mind
00:44:36and say
00:44:37that was a really
00:44:39bad moment
00:44:40but he was weak
00:44:41and
00:44:42it was a bad moment
00:44:44does that make me
00:44:47part of a Sean
00:44:48Combs cult
00:44:49maybe so
00:44:51I may have been
00:44:53the first
00:44:54disciple
00:44:55believer
00:44:57and then
00:44:59overall protector
00:45:01against all odds
00:45:03at that point
00:45:27Sean is on top
00:45:28of the world
00:45:30and his trajectory
00:45:31was only up
00:45:33I was just a wonder kid
00:45:37it was just something
00:45:37that they never saw before
00:45:39to be young
00:45:42and
00:45:42to be Puff Daddy
00:45:44it's just
00:45:46it's just like
00:45:47I felt like my dream
00:45:50had came true
00:45:50everybody now
00:45:55is looking for this kid
00:45:56because they all have
00:45:58artists that they have

00:49:35I'm a dead man
00:49:36I named it Bad Boy
00:49:37because I wanted to go
00:49:39against the grain
00:49:40I didn't want to just
00:49:42make records
00:49:42I didn't want to just
00:49:43make money
00:49:44I wanted to make history
00:49:46I was at Bad Boy
00:49:56starting from the day
00:49:58that we put the LLC
00:49:59together
00:50:00and Sean gave me
00:50:0125% in stock
00:50:03and his mother Janice
00:50:05had 75%
00:50:08he did not put
00:50:10the company
00:50:11in his name
00:50:12to protect him
00:50:14from paying families
00:50:15at CCNY
00:50:16and I saw
00:50:19from that moment on
00:50:21Sean had shifted
00:50:22in his personality
00:50:24I didn't see
00:50:26any more
00:50:27of the Mount St. Michael
00:50:29teen Sean
00:50:30he had become
00:50:34more like
00:50:35the person I see today
00:50:37we did a deal
00:50:40for approximately
00:50:4110 million dollars
00:50:421.5
00:50:45went as an advance
00:50:47into Sean's pocket
00:50:48another 1.5
00:50:51is supposed to be
00:50:51our overhead
00:50:52Sean said
00:50:53that's yours
00:50:54you can do
00:50:55whatever you want
00:50:56with it
00:50:56but you better

00:51:10as well as
00:51:11a lot for his
00:51:11personal life

00:51:28with wanting to be one
00:51:29but not positioned

00:51:34to be one
00:51:34industry wise

00:52:03beefier and beefier
00:52:04with the power

00:52:07to get your head

00:52:09to think that
00:52:09you're just as
00:52:10gangster as they are now

00:52:56so he actually
00:52:58gets in the car
00:52:58and we drive
00:53:00around the corner
00:53:00so I'm about to
00:53:01give him the business
00:53:02shit could have got
00:53:04really ugly
00:53:05and he just said
00:53:06yo see now
00:53:07I want you to hear
00:53:07something real quick
00:53:08and that's when he played
00:53:09him in the Biggie Smalls
00:53:10album
00:53:11yeah
00:53:13this album is dedicated
00:53:15to all the teachers
00:53:16that told me
00:53:16I'll never amount to nothing
00:53:17the juicy single
00:53:19dropped somewhere
00:53:20in 94
00:53:21it was all a dream
00:53:23I used to read
00:53:24Word Up magazine
00:53:25but Biggie's trajectory
00:53:27was not zero
00:53:28straight to the top
00:53:29Biggie had a slow start
00:53:31very nervous at first
00:53:33at the time
00:53:36that west coast thing
00:53:37is happening
00:53:38so we began to look
00:53:40at what they were doing
00:53:41and Tupac was like
00:53:43a shining star
00:53:44there's a song called
00:53:45I Get Around
00:53:46by Tupac
00:53:47that song
00:53:53if you're like
00:53:54in a science lab
00:53:55and you're looking
00:53:55at something
00:53:56with a microscope
00:53:57and you're trying
00:53:58to figure out
00:53:58what it is
00:53:59and what it's made of
00:54:00that's what we did
00:54:01with that song
00:54:02I Get Around
00:54:03Sean was just
00:54:05mesmerized
00:54:06by that particular song
00:54:07the structure of it
00:54:09the video and the visuals
00:54:10it showed the culture
00:54:12it's like
00:54:13let me dissect this
00:54:14let me understand it
00:54:16let me do it my way
00:54:17and the next single
00:54:20was Big Papa
00:54:21and that dropped
00:54:22and it took us
00:54:23over the edge
00:54:24with Biggie
00:54:24I like this
00:54:25yeah
00:54:26he was out of here
00:54:27from that moment on

00:56:03so they had a connection
00:56:05Sean was insanely jealous
00:56:10of Biggie and Pac's friendship
00:56:13you know when I was around Big
00:56:16I felt like he really loved me
00:56:18I felt like if I left the room
00:56:21he wasn't gonna say nothing bad
00:56:22or somebody said something bad
00:56:24about me
00:56:24he would defend that
00:56:25he was probably one of the only people
00:56:28I had really trusted
00:56:29like for a long time
00:56:30he's going to a little writing room
00:56:32right now

00:57:12being a movie star
00:57:14for Sean
00:57:16being a marketer
00:57:18you're a manipulator
00:57:20please welcome Tupac Shakur
00:57:22and there's envy for people

00:57:27with no manipulation
00:57:29Puff is to me
00:57:33very threatened by Pac
00:57:36when I reflect on
00:57:40how this all came into play
00:57:42it's a trail
00:57:43City College
00:57:48innocent lives got taken
00:57:51then it became the ability
00:57:54to get away with anything
00:57:56then you circle in the fact
00:57:59that he has legit money
00:58:01then you have the antagonist
00:58:04Tupac Shakur
00:58:06all those agreements
00:58:15created the chain of events
00:58:17that started in New York
00:58:20and ended in Vegas

00:58:38for the killing of Tupac Shakur

00:58:51with the death of Tupac
00:58:53of Tupac Shakur
