00:00:00Things are happening and it's like, I want to fight for my life.
00:00:17I want to fight for, you know, justice, not guilty.
00:00:20I don't want to have a life to be able to live.
00:00:23You know, it's really going to be hard for me to take more hits than I take it, God forbid,
00:00:28get in front of a jury and have a chance.
00:00:31And so I'm having this emergency call because something has to give.
00:00:35We need the core theme to be, you didn't do anything wrong.
00:00:39You know, you didn't do anything wrong on any front.
00:00:42And you've come to New York to face things head on.
00:00:46If anyone's ever paying any attention to what you've actually been doing,
00:00:49you've handled this with complete honor.
00:00:53I don't think it's working.
00:00:56I've listened.
00:00:58I've been a superb client, as you've said.
00:01:01I jumped on the plane. I'm coming to New York.
00:01:03But I'm just like, I'm just running around waiting for a shooter drop.
00:01:11We're losing sight of the big picture, man.
00:01:13It's the middle of September and there's still no indictment.
00:01:16You don't know. Then you have to have a spokesman.
00:01:20You have to have some sort of comms to constantly be pushing that mark.
00:01:24Because you may just be a person that just does, you just may watch CNN.
00:01:28You know what I'm saying?
00:01:29And there's like, there's 9 billion people in the world.
00:01:31And 7 billion of them is on Instagram and TikTok.
00:01:36And so you're at the wrong place looking to see what the people with the possible jurors are thinking.
00:01:43We have to find somebody that'll work with us, whether they're from this country or from another country.
00:01:48It could be somebody that has dealt in the dirtiest of dirtiest, dirty business of media and propaganda.
00:01:58I've seen the media portray me like I'm a gangster.
00:02:02I'm a, or at times I'm a cold individual.
00:02:07I'm just a shrewd businessman, which is just not the case.
00:02:12I'm a dreamer. I love closing my eyes and dreaming.
00:02:18I don't, I don't really deal with reality.
00:02:21You know, I think that you're a great guy, a great role model.
00:02:23Diddy P Papa, Papa, Papa Diddy Pop.
00:02:26I'm sorry. I don't know what you're calling yourself these days.
00:02:28American dream come true. Thank you, America.
00:02:31It's like we have a movie and you're speaking this language.
00:02:35And you know what I'm saying? We need subtitles.
00:02:37And we're not providing the audience with subtitles.
00:02:39And I invited you to this movie and you in this thing.
00:02:42You don't know what's going on.
00:02:43You just see, you just see the images, you know, quickly.
00:02:52Now it has a whole life of its own.
00:02:55The Department of Homeland Security conducting a raid at a house connected to Sean.
00:03:00Breaking news. Another woman is accusing Sean Diddy Holmes of sexual assault.
00:03:03Trafficking forced labor, kidnapping.
00:03:05The fourth lawsuit in the last movie.
00:03:07The fifth lawsuit. The seventh lawsuit.
00:03:09There are now more than a dozen civil people.
00:03:10The conduct that does indeed span two decades.
00:03:12I'm taking eight nuclear bombs, you know what I'm saying?
00:03:16Straight to the head.
00:03:18And I'm tired of going back and forth with y'all, with the lawyers.
00:03:21That's just not true.
00:03:22Okay, so, so, so, so, so, so, so.
00:03:25No, no, no, no, no, no. Let me tell you something.
00:03:28Let me say this.
00:03:29I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a referee.
00:03:32So I'm going to get off the phone right now.
00:03:33Listen to me.
00:03:34I'm going to get off the phone right now.
00:03:36And I am going to let you professionals look at the situation and come back to me with a solution.
00:03:42No matter what, no matter what nobody said.
00:03:45Let's, let's just here and there.
00:03:46Y'all are not working together the right way.
00:03:48We're losing.
00:03:49Nah, Patrick.
00:03:52you
00:04:22Yeah, just get little cutaways of them, like looking from the, you know what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying.
00:04:52All of us got to go to the maker and we will be held accountable for the things we did and we didn't do.
00:05:02Sean Combs is an asshole, he is the motherfucker you're not going to like and you're not going to get the fuck along with if he doesn't get his way.
00:05:16He quickly became my hero.
00:05:24If y'all had a fucking chance to meet this guy, you would be like this niggas energy is everything.
00:05:30I got to get up and go. I got to get up and do it.
00:05:34What's next? What's next? I got to get it. I'm not going to stay fucking down.
00:05:40He was presenting this freedom that black people hadn't had.
00:05:45Like we hadn't experienced a black man being able to say, I don't want that.
00:05:49I don't want no problems with you. Come on.
00:05:51Hey yo dog, what are you talking about? You telling me like I'm on some bullshit? I ain't on no bullshit with you.
00:05:56So when I first met him, he quickly became the guy I wanted to be like.
00:06:01When you're a leader in that way, it's admirable until you get to the point where you want to control everyone around you.
00:06:10He got to that point.
00:06:14What y'all wanna do? Wanna be ballers, shot callers, brawlers.
00:06:19It's like Scarface, the movie. I want the world and everything that's in it.
00:06:23But you got everything.
00:06:26Hey yo, New York, we fucking did it. Harlem, we did it, Montana, we did it.
00:06:32There was a mantra that Sean had. Nobody's gonna be bigger than me.
00:06:37Sean is the 1% of the 1% of the 1%. We'll never see a Sean in my lifetime again. Ever.
00:06:44It was like the more money he got, the more power he got, the more power he got, the more money he got.
00:06:53And he always felt like money can get him out of everything.
00:06:57I do feel it's important that we let the public know from the juror standpoint, just kind of how we reached the verdict.
00:07:07It's not everything that the media has put it out to be.
00:07:13You wanna put stuff in my fanny pack, Ken?
00:07:16He's creating a narrative always.
00:07:22He is the best storyteller in hip-hop.
00:07:26He thinks he's black Superman. I can do what I want.
00:07:30You can't go on for long in life doing the things that he was doing before something eventually happens.
00:07:36You can't continue to keep hurting people and nothing ever happens.
00:07:43It's just a matter of time.
00:07:48Is it good to be back in New York?
00:07:53It's always good to be back in New York.
00:07:57It's always good to be back in New York.
00:07:58It's always good to be back in New York.
00:07:59It's always good to be back in New York.
00:08:00It's always good to be back in New York.
00:08:01It's always good to be back in New York.
00:08:02Once upon a time, not long ago.
00:08:03When people wore pajamas and lived life slow.
00:08:05Willows were stern and justice stood.
00:08:07And people were behaving like they ought to good.
00:08:10How you chasing the kids on here?
00:08:11All right, bro.
00:08:12There's a little boy who was misled by another little boy.
00:08:17And this is what he said.
00:08:19Me and you tonight, we're gonna make some cash.
00:08:21Robbing old folks and making the dance.
00:08:23I was there from the very beginning with the invention of Sean Combs.
00:08:34I co-founded Bad Boy with Sean.
00:08:39I was dazzled by his ideas and his unique talent.
00:08:46But he was a very different Sean Combs back then.
00:08:50Sean was 19 when he dropped out of Howard University.
00:08:57He wanted to be in the flashy, swaggy music industry.
00:09:03He started off dancing, wanting to be in videos.
00:09:10Wanting to be a pop culture mover and shaker at a time
00:09:19where things were changing.
00:09:24Hip-hop was evolving.
00:09:26Like it or not, rap is here to stay.
00:09:28It has become part of mainstream commerce.
00:09:31It was just explosive.
00:09:34Run DMC, chaos one, public enemy, rock heavy.
00:09:40Rock heavy.
00:09:41The late 80s.
00:09:43It was fantastic.
00:09:46There were a lot of independent labels that gave birth to hip-hop in the way that we know it today.
00:09:53What is this new music?
00:09:57Like Uptown Records.
00:10:02Grab a hold of yourself and check this tempo.
00:10:06Remember these lives?
00:10:07Heavy D said so the overweight...
00:10:09Heavy D was the biggest rapper signed to Uptown.
00:10:13Excuse me.
00:10:14We got Heavy D in the house with us today.
00:10:16Thanks for coming down.
00:10:17You could be with the hardest cats in the hood.
00:10:18You could rock Heavy D.
00:10:19You're with your grandmother in the car.
00:10:20You ain't got to reach for the radio and turn it off.
00:10:23We call him the official mayor of Money Earned at Mount Vernon.
00:10:33Mount Vernon is in Westchester County.
00:10:37The first city outside of the Bronx.
00:10:40Heavy D put that area on the map.
00:10:43Heavy D and the boy!
00:10:46And his influence reached all the young people in the neighborhood.
00:10:51Including the young Sean Combs who was at Mount St. Michael High School.
00:10:57A Catholic, private school.
00:11:00He would knock on Heavy D's door every day to see if Heavy would take him.
00:11:06To meet Andre Harrell.
00:11:12Andre was the champagne of rap.
00:11:16And he took the streets to Wall Street.
00:11:20The only entrance into hip hop at that point was Andre Harrell and Russell Simmons.
00:11:26Into the corporate hip hop world.
00:11:28Into the money.
00:11:30Sean had impressed Andre enough to give him an internship.
00:11:34And that was the beginning.
00:11:38I worked with Sean as an intern at Uptown.
00:11:42I'm a picture, I'm a blade out for you.
00:11:44When you thought of Uptown records, you thought of Heavy D.
00:11:47And I'll be sure.
00:11:48I was the first number one artist on the Billboard charts on Uptown.
00:12:00And the first platinum artist on the Uptown label.
00:12:03He was a GQ nigga, you know.
00:12:06He was a real Penny Lopez type.
00:12:08He was one of them fly light skinned niggas.
00:12:12And girls loved him.
00:12:13It's ours so large!
00:12:15Al was dating Kim.
00:12:21Kim Porter.
00:12:23Kim is at the receptionist desk at Uptown.
00:12:26You get out the elevator, first person you see is Kim.
00:12:31And it was a beautiful sight.
00:12:34Everybody said that, you know what I mean?
00:12:35But when Sean saw Kim, it was different.
00:12:41And now Sean's always at the receptionist desk begging Kim for something.
00:12:48A date, a kiss.
00:12:50He put it all on the table for Kim.
00:12:54It was weird, it was weird in the air because everyone knew this was Al's girl.
00:12:59Al is hot as fish grease right now.
00:13:01Hi, this is Al B. Shore.
00:13:03Here's my exclusive number.
00:13:05$2 for the first minute, 45 cents for each additional minute.
00:13:09And Sean was not really like the catch.
00:13:14He didn't drink alcohol.
00:13:16He forbade marijuana.
00:13:17He did not like drugs.
00:13:19He had the Gumby and he looked like a scholastic dweeb.
00:13:26But Sean was so determined.
00:13:28I bet you I could get Kim.
00:13:29And he was like, nah, no way.
00:13:32Your weight ain't even up enough yet.
00:13:34But when Sean wants something, he's going to get it.
00:13:38It might be a couple of years from now.
00:13:40But sooner or later, he's going to get it.
00:13:44Andre Harrell, Heavy D, Al B. Shore.
00:13:49They had all the money and all the power.
00:13:51And I was like, I don't know what they did, but that's what I want to do.
00:13:53I got to uptown a few months after Sean did, and I saw him being built into cool.
00:14:04We had to go through the uptown flavor camp.
00:14:07I learned a lot quickly.
00:14:09Being in front of Willie Burgers on the hump 45th and A4, being at the rooftop.
00:14:17Let's get it going. Rooftop!
00:14:19The fashion, the walk, the talk, the attitude, the drive, the determination.
00:14:24I was ready to do whatever it took to win.
00:14:28The young Sean Combs during that time, he was so tenacious.
00:14:33You would ask him to turn Wednesday into Tuesday.
00:14:36He was set about doing it.
00:14:39First task we had given him was just go get a tape 10 blocks away.
00:14:44He came back in two minutes or something crazy.
00:14:45And I remember I was on the phone, and I looked up when he came back.
00:14:48I was like, how'd you get there so fast?
00:14:51And he said, I ran there and back.
00:14:54Right then and there, I said, oh, okay.
00:14:59I did have known then that that was never going to stop, to run there and run back.
00:15:04He ingratiated himself to Andre and made himself very valuable.
00:15:09Something that you don't want to do without.
00:15:12Like, who's going to get my clothes?
00:15:13Who's going to armor on my tire?
00:15:15This is so convenient.
00:15:17Then they lived together.
00:15:20I bought the first million dollar house.
00:15:22Funny, that weekend, just before I moved in, he had a mysterious fight with his mother.
00:15:27And he said, I can't go home.
00:15:29I got to stay here with you.
00:15:31A couple moved in before I did.
00:15:35Andre is taking him under like a son.
00:15:38Andre is the very first patriarch he connected with.
00:15:41Sean grew up with the illusion of what masculinity looks like.
00:15:47My first encounter with Sean, I remember it like yesterday.
00:15:52My family, we rented the first floor of Sean's house.
00:15:58I was my mom and dad's only child.
00:16:00So now Sean has somebody to brother up with.
00:16:06We experienced a lot of firsts together.
00:16:11I taught him how to ride a bike.
00:16:13It was the best thing in my life to let go of the bike and him start riding.
00:16:17We fit so well.
00:16:19Sean was another misfit, just like me.
00:16:21But the difference in my household, my dad taught me right from wrong.
00:16:27No, Sean, Sean didn't have that.
00:16:31Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce my mother, Janice Combs.
00:16:34What were the primary jobs that you did to support your family?
00:16:45I did so many jobs at one time.
00:16:47I worked at the United Civil Policy.
00:16:50I worked at the Board of Ed in Westchester County.
00:16:54I drove the school bus.
00:16:56I worked in a baby's boutique shop.
00:16:59And he never knew this.
00:17:01I worked in an after-hours spot too.
00:17:03I had to come clean.
00:17:06I needed to come clean.
00:17:09Okay, ma'am.
00:17:13Okay.
00:17:15I made more money because the men thought I was very glamorous and I used to pour liquor.
00:17:19And they'd give me big tips.
00:17:21In Sean's house, there was Janice and there was Sean.
00:17:26My father's name is Melvin Combs.
00:17:29I didn't get a chance to get to know him.
00:17:30I was too young.
00:17:32My father got his brains blown out like on Central Park West.
00:17:36I did the research.
00:17:38They said my mother had brought me to the funeral on a full-length chinchilla.
00:17:46It was like a sigh of relief, you know what I'm saying?
00:17:48Because I finally knew that what I was feeling was true.
00:17:51You know what I'm saying?
00:17:52That I was a son of a hustler or a gangster.
00:17:55Melvin's presence was there.
00:17:57His money was there.
00:17:59And I understood that Melvin made a lot of things possible.
00:18:05But Sean's mom was his everything.
00:18:07If you look at some of the early pictures that Janice has of Sean, she was always making him into something.
00:18:20The hats.
00:18:22Fur coats.
00:18:23I think she tried to overcompensate for the father being gone by making him into this dandy.
00:18:34Everything associated with Sean was Harlem.
00:18:39Whoever was flying Harlem, that's what he was as a child.
00:18:43Janice, she'd always be in Harlem.
00:18:45And there were times where she'd bring us.
00:18:48Here we are in this brand new Cadillac, because that's all Janice drove.
00:18:55She's making stops.
00:18:58Here and there.
00:18:59And you know, we knew the rule, the drill.
00:19:00Y'all sit there, I'll be right back.
00:19:02She ain't turn the car off.
00:19:04Nobody took the car.
00:19:06Mm-hmm.
00:19:07Nah.
00:19:08So you knew there was a different vibe going on with this family.
00:19:13In his household, the groove was a little different.
00:19:18A lot of Donna Summer playing.
00:19:21And then we had these movies we'd watch.
00:19:24He's got to be number one.
00:19:26This genre of films called black exploitation.
00:19:29Superdude.
00:19:30You had Superfly.
00:19:31Superfly.
00:19:32You had the Mac.
00:19:33When you got nothing, and you want everything, you got a gift to be the Mac.
00:19:40Their parts were hustler parts.
00:19:45In Sean's household, you start to see all the stuff that you saw in the movies.
00:19:53Janice knew how to throw a party.
00:19:56And the party's packed.
00:19:58You got ladies that look like they're straight out of a Jet magazine.
00:20:02Some brothers up there.
00:20:03You know, if you want to call them pimps, you can.
00:20:05If you want to call them hustlers, you can.
00:20:08You got a member of the New York Knicks.
00:20:10Or two.
00:20:14There was a stage in her living room.
00:20:17Literally a stage.
00:20:19And that's where we used to have to go and dance.
00:20:22And everybody's calling you baby.
00:20:24And everybody's saying, do that dance.
00:20:32And all of this stuff he's taken in.
00:20:34So from the movie screen to the home screen, these are the makings of Sean Combs.
00:20:48Now mind you, as a child, Sean was goofy.
00:20:51Kids would pick on him a lot around the block.
00:20:53And he didn't know how to defend himself.
00:20:58Sean was a prince.
00:21:00And Janice, she didn't want no princess.
00:21:04She held back nothing.
00:21:06You've said I would be 12 years old.
00:21:09And sometimes I'd be out until 3, 4 in the morning.
00:21:12James, James, we don't have to get into that right now.
00:21:16Ma'am?
00:21:17He got a lot of beatings too.
00:21:20His beatings made me scared.
00:21:24Right?
00:21:26I got beatings now.
00:21:29But when he got his beatings, it wasn't no...
00:21:33It wasn't a joking thing.
00:21:35No.
00:21:38Damn, I hate thinking about that, man.
00:21:41My mother was, I guess, raising me for the real world.
00:21:47She was always told me if somebody hit me, make sure I hit them back harder.
00:21:51Make sure they never hit me again.
00:21:53Make sure I fucked them up.
00:21:55You know how you hear your mom's voice in your ear?
00:21:59Boy?
00:22:01You better...
00:22:03Boy?
00:22:05Sean started fighting.
00:22:07He started stepping up.
00:22:09But Sean don't fight like this.
00:22:11Sean's gonna bite you.
00:22:13He's gonna eat your ear off.
00:22:15He's gonna cut your neck open with his mouth.
00:22:18He's not losing.
00:22:23I know people are shaped by pain.
00:22:27As well as by love.
00:22:29And if it was more pain than love, watch out.
00:22:32There's gonna be pain that you're gonna give others.
00:22:38Cause you're responding to that pain that you just can't see the cut out of you.
00:22:44I didn't know much about him.
00:22:58I know that he had a big ego.
00:23:00The big ego.
00:23:03I met him around 89, 90.
00:23:07My job was to promote music videos.
00:23:10And Puffy, he was always doing the party promotion so he's always like handing out the flyers.
00:23:15At the time I was working with Andre Harrell.
00:23:18He wasn't paying me enough so I had to promote parties on the side.
00:23:21Which was all good.
00:23:23Daddy's house.
00:23:25He was savvy enough to promote parties.
00:23:27They were the most successful parties at that time.
00:23:30But they were all about promoting himself.
00:23:32One of the brothers that put the party together.
00:23:35My man, Puff's daddy.
00:23:37Really it was no problem cause all my black brothers and sisters came together like my man took you fresh.
00:23:41All the beautiful women out here, we came together just to have a good time.
00:23:45I went to a party for a good friend.
00:23:51It was getting very late.
00:23:53Puffy is like, oh, you know, I'm having an after party.
00:23:57At Andre Harrell's house.
00:23:59Andre Harrell wasn't there, he was out of town.
00:24:08People were tracking mud through the house and I remember at the end of the night, I was helping clean up the mud.
00:24:15Puffy is like very polite, you know, and thanking me for helping him.
00:24:21And 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?
00:24:27And I was like, I don't do music videos.
00:24:32But this party was in New Jersey and I needed a ride back to Manhattan.
00:24:37So I went along.
00:24:38And I never forget I had the same clothes on that I had from the night before.
00:24:49The music video was called Straight From The Soul by Finesse and Sinquist.
00:24:57The whole premise was for me to jump out the car and go with these girls and get away from the pimp guy.
00:25:03This nice clothes in a car doesn't make you a star.
00:25:07You can't talk positive and do the opposite.
00:25:09Cause then you're labeled as a fool, a hypocrite.
00:25:11You can't be righteous, throw a party to flip.
00:25:14Sniff and store, drink and drive and have your sister strip.
00:25:16You know what I look like to your people?
00:25:18A vacant scrape.
00:25:19Dying sisters don't want to look you in your face.
00:25:21Wanting to be a pimp brother?
00:25:22Your heart ain't that cold.
00:25:24And it's just straight from the hole.
00:25:34Was there ever a time that Sean Combs sexually assaulted you?
00:25:41Yes.
00:25:44Someone called me up and told me that, um, he said, you know, he has, you know, video.
00:25:50And I was like, what?
00:25:52And that's when he, um, described it and explained it.
00:26:17I just want to say this.
00:26:18This thing was incredibly devastating to my family.
00:26:24My mother, she's a social worker.
00:26:27We don't have money.
00:26:30The thing that we had was our pride.
00:26:38We carried ourselves well.
00:26:43We were pretty.
00:26:45We were intelligent.
00:26:47This is the basis of what I had.
00:26:51Self-respect.
00:26:52Self-respect.
00:26:55My mother wrote a letter to Combs' parents.
00:27:01I just found this recently.
00:27:06Can I read it?
00:27:07Dear Mr. and Mrs. Combs, I'm writing you to inform you of something that your son did to my daughter.
00:27:22One weekend, while visiting my daughter, I awoke to her screaming in the middle of the night.
00:27:29She told me that she was dreaming about Puffy.
00:27:34I asked her why she was screaming and who is this Puffy person that he would cause her to have nightmares.
00:27:45I was shocked and mortified to hear her story.
00:27:48She told me that several people have come to her to inform her that your son has made an obscene videotape of her.
00:28:00Without her knowledge, he videotaped him doing something sexual to her.
00:28:06Apparently, your son shows these tapes at parties on large screen televisions.
00:28:19I realize that this may be hard for you to believe, but if I hadn't heard this story from my daughter's own mouth and looked into her eyes,
00:28:27I would have scarcely believed that any individual would compromise another person's dignity in this manner.
00:28:45I approached a lot of people for help.
00:28:48I got things like, what do you want me to do about it?
00:28:57To, if I help you, I can't get into his parties.
00:29:03We got Puff Daddy from Puff Daddy's house.
00:29:05What's up?
00:29:06What's up?
00:29:07And we revolutionized the hip-hop club scene this year.
00:29:13Why would you want to do that?
00:29:16Drug and rape the girl, tape it, and then put it up on the screen.
00:29:24Here's my theory.
00:29:28Alpo Martinez, drug lord, famous Harlem street, tough guy, hung out at the rooftop.
00:29:36Once again, I'd like to welcome you and yours to the rooftop.
00:29:39Alpo had a lot of girls, and he would tape girls that he was having sex with.
00:29:45And then on a Saturday night, he might bring his camera and put it on the wall.
00:29:50And everyone knows that's so-and-so's girl.
00:29:53What Sean saw was, I want to be looked upon in that way, as someone that has that type of stature.
00:30:06All his life, he's been trying to honor a man.
00:30:10He believed it was a famous Harlem gangster.
00:30:15And that gave his father a mythic presence.
00:30:21People like Alpo, he looked at those guys with a certain amount of jealousy or envy,
00:30:27a certain amount of respect, and there's a certain amount of desire.
00:30:31That thing was in him from there.
00:30:41Did you ever confront Sean about him?
00:30:44I did.
00:30:46I avoided him for a very long time.
00:30:50I ran into him one day.
00:30:53He came to me, he got on his knees,
00:30:57and swore he did not do this thing to me.
00:31:03And denied it.
00:31:10And that is the very last time I talked to him.
00:31:14We fucking did it! Let's go! The key to the city! Yeah, yeah, yeah!
00:31:19When I think back in terms of his rise,
00:31:22it is the most helpless feeling.
00:31:28I was always nauseous when I saw his image.
00:31:34The one image in Times Square where he's holding his fist up.
00:31:42When I saw it, I vomited right there on the street.
00:31:46You are really raising your hand to victory, and I'm living in trauma and defeat.
00:31:52It's a new legal trouble for Sean Diddy Cohn.
00:31:56Another new lawsuit.
00:31:58...of sexual assault, sex trafficking, and drugging underage girls.
00:32:03Federal prosecutors in New York have interviewed numerous women who allege wrongdoing.
00:32:06This is at least the 10th civil lawsuit filed against Sean Diddy Cohn's alleged sex trafficking.
00:32:10Let's take the blood, man. What the fuck else I want?
00:32:12I don't know.
00:32:13It was a bunch of silly.
00:32:15Just silly bullshit, noise.
00:32:16And drugging underage girls.
00:32:17Federal prosecutors in New York have interviewed numerous women who allege wrongdoing.
00:32:21This is at least the 10th civil lawsuit filed against Sean Diddy Combs' alleged sex trafficking.
00:32:26Let's take the blood, man. What the fuck else are you doing?
00:32:32It's a bunch of silly bullshit.
00:32:34Just silly bullshit noise.
00:32:37It's all those things.
00:32:39No.
00:32:41But it's like the legal system is doing it now.
00:32:43Because, like, legally, it's like, I got to spend money to go and get rid of this bullshit.
00:32:51Oh, yeah.
00:32:53Ain't got nothing left.
00:32:55Got nothing left going on.
00:32:59They ain't breaking me, though.
00:33:01How are you, boss? If you don't mind, one picture, please?
00:33:05I'm not good with the camera, so I'm going to reply.
00:33:07Sean was destined to be famous.
00:33:26I didn't see him for me coming.
00:33:29I swear I didn't see that coming.
00:33:30I'm 19 and I always like seeing people entertain and I thought you know over the holidays just
00:33:41wanted to throw a celebrity basketball game in Harlem I was at the game I was on the floor
00:33:48all of us was there every rapper in New York right your MTV raps came I'm at City College
00:33:55in the heart of New York City for the puff daddy having the first all-time celebrity all-star
00:34:01classic that was one of the biggest basketball games if that would have turned out correctly
00:34:06or it went down in history there were lines and lines around the campus to get in there's no more
00:34:17room but everyone still wants to come we open up the doors everybody saw us flowing
00:34:25through but then thousands more come
00:34:40there was a thing in hip-hop called bum-rushing the door people don't have a ticket when they
00:34:45hear something sold out they say fuck it we gotta still get in we're gonna bum-rush the door
00:34:48when they got to the bottom of the stairs the doors didn't go out that way they only came in so
00:34:56people were stuck it was crushing people down at the bottom of the stairs we on the court warming up
00:35:06to play and then Dougie first grabbed the mic and said there's people that are dead
00:35:10so I'm over promoted overhyped and that led to a crash
00:35:40it was just like oh shit how did this happen so quick how would how would people want to explain it
00:35:49we need a lot of help here there's a lot of people hurt and aren't breathing
00:35:55the death toll from last week's stampede at a new york charity basketball game has risen to nine
00:36:20one of the unanswered questions remains who's to blame for the stampede that killed nine people
00:36:34throughout the newspaper headlines throughout the confusion the finger pointing who was responsible
00:36:44sean young in real time carried the weight of all of that my dream for this evening was to bring a
00:36:56positive program to my people to people of my age and to people in my community whatever must be done
00:37:02must be done to ensure that this never ever ever happens again it was the biggest news ever
00:37:09that's how he got super famous was that game and those deaths that's the beginning of puff daddy
00:37:19that's really how i started to become famous was through a tragedy
00:37:26he was holding up in a hotel on the east side him and his mother he didn't know what was going to happen
00:37:35and i saw janice question sean he's going into this music business thing he just left school and now
00:37:46this extreme tragedy has occurred she's like did he make the right decision and i saw him put his hands on her
00:37:58call her a bitch and slapped her
00:38:03he's not looking back
00:38:04sean puff daddy combs and sponsors claim no responsibility in the tragic chain of events
00:38:18they claim nine lives and injured the brass that afforded uptown its distribution money wanted sean out
00:38:25i saw andre fight and fight to keep sean in and he did andre andrel puff daddy he's passing on to i
00:38:36guess his son protégé protégé yes yes puppy yes tell me a little bit about this man and why you like
00:38:43working with him because you know he's not intimidated by youth you know what i'm saying
00:38:47he knows the importance of leaving the legacy behind because we need more adults out there that's going to
00:38:52teach the young such as myself i took andre herell out to lunch and i said can i get a chance to
00:38:59maybe do a and r the a and r is artists and repertoire that's the guy that works at the
00:39:04record company that puts the records together and works with the artists i said give me a chance you
00:39:09know you you're making music for young people i'm young and you know who better to make the music than me
00:39:15me we had a group back in the day they drove up to new york unannounced to meet andre harrell when we
00:39:26make love jodeci it's like a dream they sing for andre andre loves it immediately that becomes puffs
00:39:35first responsibility and they could go make jodeci andre put his trust with sean as opposed to the
00:39:48artists he told us i don't care who the artist is you're more important than them the artists don't
00:39:57work without you what would be the ideal musical setting for y'all i guess before in front like
00:40:02millions of people you know you have to be able to control everything i basically style and come
00:40:09with the images and design most of the clothing for all of the artists it was him that put jodeci
00:40:14in the pants baggy sagging at the bottom the boots not lacing it up he is able to sponge from the
00:40:23community and the culture and package it and in the studio he did the same thing sean wasn't a
00:40:33producer where he can tell you you need a c here a c note or this is an f but he did have a good ear
00:40:41for what could be ahead let me give you an example let's get it going rooftop at the rooftop in harlem
00:40:48the dj brucey b would mix acapellas from r b songs with hard hip-hop beats
00:40:58and it drove the kids crazy at the clubs
00:41:02that's what sean did with jodeci on those remixes it was very minimal it was very hard beat and snare
00:41:10no melody jodeci's record started climbing the charts
00:41:23sean turned that into the blueprint for his special brand of a and r and then the next artist to benefit
00:41:30from that was mary j blige mary's what's the 411 was out the box
00:41:43the hat pulled out the mysteriousness it had a little bit of a darkness and moodiness to it as well
00:41:49all of that was groundbreaking
00:41:55he launched a female artist in a male-dominated hip-hop barrel
00:42:03who became an instant success and that created hip-hop soul mary became the owner of that sound
00:42:12so one was making the hits happen and the visuals happened in 1992 sean is promoted to vp of a and r and
00:42:26arts and development so my name is puff daddy vice president of a and r and arts development for
00:42:33uptown records which brought you the hits joe to see mary j blige everything the boys fall mc
00:42:39and you know on and on and on puffy had jodeci and mary j blige but puffy's a big huge epmd fan
00:42:50he was at my crossover video shoot and he asked me to do the mary j blige intro for the 401 album
00:42:57i did that for him and then all of a sudden we became friends
00:43:08i thought it was a general friendship until i see that this game is being played
00:43:14you got an agenda misa he was trying to court her after we broke up sean wants her because eric was
00:43:27that dude it was about i got her i won her over from him he had to have the girl
00:43:36and sean has a way about when he gets you he got you he got you and now you become property
00:43:49me and misa was just friends but he wanted to make sure that there was no
00:43:55calling and me being friends with that girl sean's jealousy it got to the point where he put his hands
00:44:03on her right outside of uptown records they're fighting in the street and he's beating her into
00:44:10the car well she's on the ground and people are pulling him off of her and separating her
00:44:22a year or two later they're still together and justin is born
00:44:34when he invited me to be the godfather of his first son
00:44:37i was able to push that in the back of my mind and say that was a really bad moment but he was weak and
00:44:48it was a bad moment does that make me part of a sean combs cult maybe so
00:44:57i may have been the first disciple believer
00:45:02and then overall protector against all odds
00:45:17i want to personally invite one more brother on stage responsible for my joe to see mary j blige
00:45:24pop daddy come to the stage baby
00:45:31at that point sean is on top of the world and his trajectory was only up
00:45:41i was just a wonder kid it was just some something that they never saw before
00:45:44to be young and to be puff daddy it's just it's just like i felt like my dream man came true
00:45:59everybody now is looking for this kid
00:46:02because they all have artists that they have to get to the top of the chart
00:46:05what does that do to a person do you think i'm still gonna be
00:46:13like yes ma'am no ma'am thank you very much he became too big for uptown records i'm gonna be so
00:46:18drunk on high by wednesday eight o'clock i'm not really gonna give a fuck but i give a
00:46:22puff it started to be some dissension between andre and puff andre was the king of the uptown castle of
00:46:31the empire he created and the intern was taking his place
00:46:41i remember it like yesterday andre called me into his office
00:46:46he tells me just like this he says dog i just fired puff i said word
00:46:56it was a sad day andre was like a surrogate dad for sean
00:47:05sean was really sick when andre fired him i'm talking about sick couldn't believe it
00:47:11and then sean called me and he said yo i'm about to do my thing dog
00:47:34puff was like yo i'm looking for some um hardcore artist
00:47:39he's ain't tired of doing the mary shit jonas he said he want to do some hard
00:47:42shit some street
00:47:51the west coast had the hits that we wanted
00:47:55so on signed biggie in 1992 people didn't know we had to produce biggie's album for uptown he was
00:48:09an uptown artist so it's an uptown it's big then yeah yeah that's what it is business instead of game
00:48:15right i'll tell him i told you but when andre fired puff they fired him with a caveat
00:48:21i'm letting you go but i'm gonna let you take biggie with you
00:48:28andre decided to sell us the biggie album
00:48:30but now we had to find a way to pay for it
00:48:38we were living on borrowed time i went about setting up the meetings
00:48:42and we met with epic sony columbia then we met with clive davis at ariston everybody knows him on
00:48:51a first name basis clive runs a hundred million dollar record company called ariston
00:48:56he has discovered whitney houston carly simon aretha franklin and a long list of other pop stars
00:49:06who thrive in the world according to clive
00:49:11so we went to clive and we played a few tracks from the pig's album and i remember one of the first
00:49:17ones that we played was gimme the loop yes love love your fucking attitude because the
00:49:22nigger play pussy that's the nigger and clive's eyes went like this i'm slamming niggas like
00:49:27shaquille shit it's real and i said well you got the goods and i bought into his vision
00:49:41i named it a bad boy because i wanted to go against the grain i didn't want to just make records i
00:49:47didn't want to just make money i wanted to make history i was at bad boy starting from the day that
00:50:03we put the llc together and sean gave me 25 percent in stock and his mother janice had 75
00:50:12percent he did not put the company in his name to protect him from paying families at ccny
00:50:23and i saw from that moment on sean had shifted in his personality i didn't see any more of the mount
00:50:33st michael teen sean he had become more like the person i see today
00:50:44we did a deal for approximately 10 million dollars
00:50:491.5 went as an advance into sean's pocket another 1.5 is supposed to be our overhead sean said that's
00:50:59yours you can do whatever you want with it but you better make sure my company's running
00:51:05from day zero i wrote everything down every day so i can keep track of everything i needed to do
00:51:12i ran all the money all the budgets for the company as well as a lot for his personal life
00:51:17and all that came with it i don't like the way you treating me on me getting my second half this
00:51:23shit is bullshit yo yo yo yo bust your ass and i think that he had this thing with strongmen and
00:51:32he had a thing with wanting to be one but not positioned to be one street wise but positioned to
00:51:39be one industry wise and they call that a paper gangster i'm not paying nor am i involved in any of
00:51:46that shit and so as he's paper gangstering he's also trying to street gangster too at the same time
00:51:57he's not from the street his mother did the very best to give him the best
00:52:02what's next give me something else what can't you do i can do it but now he's been getting beefier and
00:52:08beefier with the power from the music that's a good way to get your head filled up to think that
00:52:14you're just as gangster as they are now without even having to pop your gun off yourself
00:52:23now after all this time me and misa is still cool we were just friends
00:52:30but one time she just happened to be in my driver's seat in my truck
00:52:35and all of a sudden i heard somebody go and it's him
00:52:39he's steaming he swings on me so i'm laughing because i'm like you swung on me you putting
00:52:51yourself in jeopardy knowing you can't work none of us so now i'm like yo let's go around the corner
00:52:58because i could because because i'm respectful enough so he actually gets in the car and we
00:53:04drive around the corner so i'm about to give him the business could have got really ugly and he just
00:53:11said yo sit down i want you to hear something real quick and that's when he played in the biggie smalls
00:53:15album yeah this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me i'll never amount to nothing
00:53:23the juicy single dropped somewhere in 94. it was all a dream i used to read word up magazine but biggie's
00:53:31trajectory was not zero straight to the top biggie had a slow start very nervous at first
00:53:40at the time that west coast thing is happening so we began to look at what they were doing and
00:53:47tupac was like a shining star there's a song called i get around by tupac
00:53:52that song if you're like in a science lab and you're looking at something with a microscope and
00:54:02you're trying to figure out what it is and what it's made of that's what we did with that song i get
00:54:07around sean was just mesmerized by that particular song the structure of it the video and the visuals
00:54:15it showed the culture it's like let me dissect this let me understand it let me do it my way
00:54:24and the next single was big papa and that dropped and it took us over the edge with biggie
00:54:31he was out of here from that moment on
00:54:33we had ready to die before it came out big has sent tupac a demo and we played that tape to death
00:54:48man we played that tape till it was destroyed and then pop got the phone call that big was having
00:54:54an album release party he said to us man we all go into that he was very excited for him
00:55:00the notorious big album release party it was so fat we hit everybody here i've never seen someone
00:55:07more excited for someone else's success as pop was for big success you ready yeah you ready for that
00:55:16raw dog shit okay all right let me see how i'm gonna hit you with he thought big was dope he wasn't
00:55:26doper than him as far as he was concerned apocalypse don't sleep i keep a motherfucking glock in my car
00:55:32but he was the next thing smoking i'm a high guy from bed stop putting the swelling on your eye
00:55:38your nose even when i choke you you stop breathing but police come i'm leaving peace and love
00:55:44here we go pop would take big with him on tours and let him open up for him
00:55:59pop was developing thug life this ideology of taking back our communities big was with that he felt
00:56:07that he resonated with him so they had a connection sean was insanely jealous of biggie and pock's
00:56:17friendship you know when i was around big i felt like he really loved me like i felt like if i left the
00:56:25room he wasn't gonna say nothing bad or somebody said something bad about me he would defend that
00:56:30he was one of the only people i had really trusted like for a long time there's a yearning for him to
00:56:42have that complete total control you're my artist you're my best friend you're writing this song for
00:56:49like 30 motherfucking days i pay you you work for me
00:56:54i make hits with you i needed money on my own so i started playing and who is this guy
00:57:06why do we need him in the picture guess who gonna win tupac was a very likable person
00:57:13all the women loved him being a rapper being a movie star
00:57:19for sean being a marketer you're a manipulator please welcome tupac shakur and there's envy for
00:57:29people who have success fame with no manipulation
00:57:36puff is to me very threatened by pop
00:57:41when i reflect on how this all came into play it's a trail
00:57:52city college innocent lives got taken
00:57:58then it became the ability to get away with anything
00:58:03then you circle in the fact that he has legit money
00:58:06then you have the antagonist tupac shakur
00:58:18all those agreements created the chain of events
00:58:23that started in new york and ended in babies
00:58:34i got a couple guys shot and he's not at the way to shop
00:58:41do you know who was responsible for the killing of tupac shakur no i don't
00:58:51i think that sean now in my mature mind had a lot to do with the death of tupac
